Processor squeal
(alien.top)
there is a very annoying squealing sound coming from near the processor.
Welcome to the world of capacitors and chokes.
Basicly: The power delivery to your CPU is the squeely bit.
Probably inductors noise from the CPU power rails right next to the CPU. Not much you can do about it.
You sure if it's not an alarm coming from the motherboard? Does it POST properly?
Oh definitely not an alarm. Too faint. And yeah, posts fine and has OS loaded. No errors anywhere. Just a little whine.
Does it sound like coil whine?
Yeah I think so.
