does your CPU scream ? mine does...

Neverwhere · 5 Dec 2009 at 22:55

squeels like a piggy with its nutts in a vice.

If I concentrated, I used to be able to hear my old cyrix chip performing calculations back in the day, haven't really been able to hear a CPU since then but my Q6600, you can hear it chuntering away like no ones business, its a little annoying but mostly quite odd.

and no its not bleed from the drives or fans, ive had my head right in there to make sure...

I get a scream, but it's from my GPU. And it's ALL the time. I'm worried it's going to give me Tinnitus :\

I can hear my memory squeal a little sometimes when the frequency is put up, but it goes away after a little while. I assume it's the memory.

you sure thats not just the wife/gf/bf ?

p.s. I moved my OC`ing thread to the overclocking room, so no need for sad face just go answer there, ive had a little success so far.

I think my GTX280 has started squealing, it never used to, but I have been overclocking it recently, and now when I play games, I can hear it squeal, I'm fairly positive it's the card, as it only happens in games..

almost all graphics cards squeal. it's most obvious when they're rendering Bink videos.

alex24 · 6 Dec 2009 at 12:17

yeah, my GTX280's squeal was very load when I first installed it, but it has died down over time. I can only imagine how much louder it would have been if it wasn't nestled in my big heavy P182.

my psu squeals but in very high pitch and not that loud so barely notice it

alexx · 6 Dec 2009 at 15:31

my ears suck so all high pitched sounds get lost on me! probably not a bad thing as i can keep my sanity

My mouse used to squeak at me sometimes but I just gave it a punch and now its fine

Something in my case seems to squeak but i can't find out what.

I just tilt the case a bit and the squeaking goes away for a while.

I tried stopping each fan but still can't find out what does that noise.

Hate it once my ears have locked onto it - DVD players that are switched on but not playing at the worst culprit for me

Something in my PC is squealing though, got a feeling it's the water pump.

OrphanBoy · 7 Dec 2009 at 16:18

My PS3 does it when I'm on the main page of the playstation store

DragonQ · 7 Dec 2009 at 17:05

No squealing in my PC. I get interference through the speakers when using the mouse scroll wheel but apparently only when using my audio input switcher. Without it, there is no interference.

My TV does a mosquito noise with the backlight on 8 or below, so I'd still rather burn my retinas than get P*ssed of with that noise

DavieJG · 7 Dec 2009 at 22:53

my monitor has a faint high pitched whine in standby mode...

gotta turn it off at the wall wen i go to bed...

el Kuarlos · 7 Dec 2009 at 23:26

My pc begaun screaming...then it bit me and now I am in the corner of the room with just my wireless keyboard and a helpless child...he says he will do it again unless the forum clubs together and buys it a 5870...

Help me <AHEM> I mean him.

<HIGH PITCHED SCREAMS>

He just told me to tell you a 5890. Plus he has eaten the child...I dont have much time left. Please help...fatboy...I know you can hear this.

<jokes people not meaning to troll but all the talk of pc bits screaming lead to the above brain fart.>

Try turning on v-sync if your gfx card squeals.

uv · 8 Dec 2009 at 08:06

It's either your Ram, Graphics, PSU or VRMs.. CPU's don't squeal.

Run something full-system intensive (3Dmark for example), and stick your head in your case to pinpoint it.
