Greetings fellow technicians! I was wondering if any of you had ever experienced this problem:
I recently purchased a new ASRock motherboard (yeah, trash, I know) and made sure to get a decent replacement policy with it from newegg. I also got the 570W Logisys SLi-ready PSU, also with a replacement policy attached (I knew one or both of these components would need a lemon or two replaced)
Anyway, ever since I installed these two parts, I get a strange clicking/whirring noise that speeds up considerably when my system is under load (3dmark or Crysis 2) - even when my components are underclocked. The clicking noise is in sync with the FPS I'm getting (higher FPS, faster the clicking noise goes)
I suspect a capacitor or resistor going bad, but was wondering if anyone else had ever had this problem
Here are my system specs since I know you need them:
ASRock N68-S UCC motherboard
570W Logisys SLi-ready PSU
AMD Phenom II X4 945
MSI Cyclone GTX 460 1GB
2x2GB Crucial Ballistix
Seagate 400GB SATA HDD
I've swapped the video with my old GTS 250, CPU with old X2 7850 BE, same noise. Swapping memory and PSU when I get home, and if problem persists, will do a fresh install on a new SATA HDD - leaving only motherboard as the culprit
Thanks guys
