Hey, my system with problems is:
asus p5nd2-sli motherboard (nf4 chipset)
pentium d 830 3.0ghz
1 x gb samsung 533mhz ddr2 ram
430 watt thermaltake pwrsuply
geforce 6800gs video card
Believe it or not, this system still runs games pretty good. i was playing bio shock on it for a while today. but this system runs hot. and i noticed when bio shock was up their seems to be a clicking sound that clicks. so i stopped every fan in the case with my finger and i still herad the clicking sound. The northbridge cooler is hot to the touch, and even the graphic card seems to be hot, i ever touched the capacitors and they all are smokin hot. The clicken sound seems to be coming from the graphic card or possible the south bridge. Right when i exit bio shock(a graphic intense game) the clicken sound immeditaly stops. The click is only heard bio shock is being played, even if i stop the graphic card fan with my finger. any ideas what this sound mite be? blown capaciter? the system is very hot.
