Chirping sound while stress testing

[braz]

When running orthos to stress test my CPU, my PC makes this weird chirping noise. IT is either coming form my cpu, mobo, or PSU I dunno what. MY specs are in my sig... any help? is this bad? everything is running fine. Chirping only happens during stress test lol. Sounds like a bird is in my pc.

Is it really high pitched and fairly quiet? Mine does that quite a bit when loading a game or scrolling webpages. It only started when I switched my RAM from Corsair Dominators to Patriot Extremes. And the sound seems to come from my RAM so I think it's RAM related. I didn't even know RAM could make a sound.

Like I said, I have NO clue what its coming from lol. It is rly high pitched and quiet like u described though. Very werird lol. So far, Im happy! @3.6ghz 52c load with my E8400 with orthos going right now! yay!

Haha if it the same thing I wouldn't worry I've had it for maybe 2 months now and no side effects.

I have the same mobo and noises. i believe it is the mobo telling you temps are high. not sure though. you should be ok though if you have proper cooling.

Naw I have everything watercooled and my CPU goes to 45C at max load.

Could be your 8800GT. They are known to make noise. Mine makes all kinds of noise when running a benchmark or a GPU stress test. Sometimes it even makes noise when booting up.

Well, I know exactly what you are describing. I have googled to see what it is with no avail. I am just as curious as you are as to what the sounds are. If you come across an answer please tell us what it is.
