Sorry if this thread is not in the right place. Hear are my specs:

Antec p182 super midi tower case
BGF 8800GT graphics card
4GB OCZ 1066 Reaper HPC, DC RAM
Abit IN932X-Max motherboard
2.4GHz intel quad core pro Q6600 95W processor
Antec Quattro 850W PSU

I am getting two sound issues.

1) Firstly i get a high pitched whining sound, i suspect from the PSU, i used a roll to define where the sound is coming from and it seems to be inside the PSU and/or from the wires coming out from it. I dont have another PSU to try out. I have tried disconnecting some devices but i still get it. This has been long term, 6 months +

2) Secondly and only recently i get a another high pitched sound; some times it sounds like a dial up tone / squeeling sound. I tend to only get this when i use one of my hard drives; like degragmenting, disk checking, using postgres SQL, virus scans etc but the sound is NOT coming from the hard drives. Note though when i did disk check i got a strange sound high-picthed then low pichted sound continiously. Strangely when i turn on my speaker full blast i can hear the same or simular sound on them. I suspect the sound it is coming from around the GPU after i added the Akasa VGA cooler; i also added a Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB and cleaned / dusted the PC . I took the power out of the fan but still get the noise; it is the right side of it; as in just below the RAM

Thanks for the help
 
Thanks for the reply but can i please get some more comments and help with these issues

I don't play games and i get the sound even when doing mediocre things like defraging etc; so do i really need to use this; and what is it Vysync btw?

So are these issues okay to leave? I mean do i HAVE to replace the PSU and/or GPU or MB; it is at risk of blowing my other components or anything or is it something i can simply to put up with?

Thanks again
