Yeah, so the topic gives you an idea what's wrong, haha
Basically, whenever I turn off my computer after being for a couple of hours or so, about 5-10 mins after it is off, is starts crackling, real loud sometimes, like... kind of like it is radioactive, that kind of noise, haha, similar to cicadas I guess but less musical? =P
I can't figure out what it is, it sounds like it is coming from around the CPU/Heatsink area, but it could be the Ram I guess, and possibly my gfx card, but it sounded as if it were more central than below the CPU. (I sat next to the open computer and listened last night). Been doing this for a fair while now, can't remember if it was happening before I installed the new Heatsink. I am presuming something is either being damaged, or it is discharging electricity or something?
CPU is an E6600, overclocked previously but for the last 5 months or so been @ 2.4. Heatsink is the ASUS Silent Knight, and the ram is A-DATA PC 6400, again, overclocked to 866 I think a while back, but on 800 now.
Graphics card is XFX 8800GTX, but I don't think it is coming from there.
Any clues as to what it could be?
Cheers,
Sydz
