Hey everyone.
Just did a computer upgrade about two weeks ago. I was having some vibration issues, and decided to finally do away with my HDD for an SSD. That has helped, but over the last several days my CPU (which is brand new) has really ratcheted up the speed. I've installed the app center for my motherboard along with the relevant fan control app. That and a recommended hardware monitor show my idle temps at ~32C so heat is not an issue.
Enabling smart fan systems has helped, especially on 'quiet' mode, but the issue is still present at boot and any time fan RPM passes 1200. It is a constant, high pitched whine audible through my noise canceling headphones. I am very easily distracted and this is impacted both my work and leisure. I can feel it on the top of the case and behind the motherboard. I've already trouble shot the other fans by turning them off one by one, the noise is from the stock CPU cooler.
A friend has suggested checking the four screws securing the CPU to the motherboard. Anything else I can try? Thanks for your time
