Hey all,
If you need to know, I built my computer.
450 or 500 (not sure) Watt PS
Asus Motherboard with nForce3 (don't remember model number)
AMD 64 3000+
1024 DDR II Ram @ 400 MHz
250 GB Maxtor drive
200 GB Maxtor drive
16x DVD
52x32x24 CD Burner
I have a problem that has been bugging me for months and would like advise. Whenever I am doing something resource intensive, either by CPU memory or hard drive activity, my computer will make these annoying noises from inside. The fan would whirl up, then die down, then whirl up, on off, on off like ever 2-5 seconds.
much like this below
Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll .................Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll.....
Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...
Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...
Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...Whiiiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrllllll...
It will keep doing this forever even if I stop it will still do this sometimes every 15-30 seconds. I think it is affecting my mental health, but I like leaving my computer ON 24/7 out of preferably habbit from my college dorm times.
Any advise on to keeping a computer cool, and low noise?
