Weird semi lound sounds from my PC.

[QuickyTime]

I am posting this is the components thread because i'm not real sure what component is causing the sounds.

When my cpu is loaded, or even when i type i hear a slight screeching high pitch beep type sound that seems to be centered around my processor.

i got this computer about 3 weeks ago and it's a gaming computer and it runs all my games at max settings just fine, it will play battlefield 3 and 4, War thunder at movie settings.

the specs are as follows.

OS Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit(fully updated)
ASrock 770iCafe motherboard(Bios is version 1.90, updated to support AM3+ CPU's)
AMD Athlon II X3 450 3.2Ghz(full three core, no 4th core)
16GB's DDR3 G Skill RipJaw series ram
AMD Radeon HD 7950 3.1Gb GDDR5
232GB Western Digital Caviar Blue.
1000w Antec power supply.

I'm not new to computers i do know a fair bit about them but i'm kinda stumped on the noises,
it's not any of my fans all wires are secured.

Well you got me too bud, I would take the side panel off and try to feel out exactly where the sound is coming from. Is it an electronic whine or is it a mechanical sound like moving parts?

It's an electronic sound for sure, iv'e pulled the side panel off and the sound is coming from the cpu area.

My money is either the VRMs giving off some whine or the PSu is giving off some coil whine.

I have the same problem, well idk if it's the same whine but when i get to a cut scene a loud whine comes from the CPU, i think it's the heatsink but i'm not sure if it is since that would be a weird whine for a heatsink.

Well it's not the PSU, the sound is coming from the cpu area, so if my voltage regulator module is giving off sounds is this normal?

Or is this a sign my motherboard is going to die?

Have you seen your CPU charts when it makes a whining noise? Like i play Starcraft 2 and during a cut scene my CPU starts whining and i look at my meter from the free wigit you get and it's putting out a lot of energy. I figured out mine it was my CPU but its 2 1/2 years old so it's probably going out soon or either just old

The older versions of the AM3+ platform boards did not handle their power well at all. What I am guessing is that your CPU is pushing really hard to render your game and it is causing a lot of stress on the board. A broad general suggestion is to save up some money and move over to an intel platform.
