I bought a new desktop - using the configurator, which was delivered about a month ago (redelivered, since the first time it arrived damaged).

It seemed fine, but I didn't really get a chance to use it, since I had to go away for 3 weeks (I only used it briefly a couple of times before). Now I've had a chance to use it a bit more this past week, and finally installed all of my programs, I notice that it makes a screeching noise, which is fairly loud and definitely quite off-putting. The noise comes and goes somewhat randomly, but usually when the computer has been on for a little bit (and I just tried playing a game and it made the noise a lot). The noise sounds kind of like a boiling kettle (the old style kettles). Any ideas what it could be? I'm thinking it might be a fan and worried it might be the CPU fan or something... :(
 
does it sound like a modem sound?

if it only does it in game menu's its pretty much normal but it shouldn't do it at all in the game itself

try turning off amd cool and quiet in the bios and see if noise is still heard,cpu won't enter power saving tho
 
I'm not really sure how a modem sounds..
It happens in-game and also when not gaming.
You mean the computer won't automatically go to stand-by if I do that?
 
Thanks for the video - Yes it sounds like that! It's pretty annoying as the computer is on my desk (quite close to my ear!).
I'm guessing that's fairly normal then and I shouldn't be worried about the computer exploding on me? lol
Also based on what the video says, I'm guessing there's nothing I can do about it?
 
it will still enter sleep mode,

not sure on amd but they have cool and quiet option in the bios which is power saving mode for the cpu when idle

it can cause mb squeal if enabled sometimes or it can be down to board/psu/gpu

it doesn't damage anything just annoying if too loud
