Re: Intel Core i7 920 Processor Whines - help!

The noise I am experiencing is very similar to the one on this video, only mine tends to stay on constantly once it starts.

Re: Intel Core i7 920 Processor Whines - help!

Sorry what is the paperclip trick? Never heard of it.. I have also noted the following, when the noise was audible, the Vcore voltage (according to Speedfan) was around 0.96 v and would fluctuate between that value and 1v when launching other applications. Now it seems to be stable at 1.22 v and the...

Re: i720 whine - help!

That was the next thing that I was thinking of doing.. I bought this processor with the intention of overclocking it to around 3.6 GHz which I believe should be achievable. For that purpose I also have a Titan Fenrir cooler to install that will require me to take the motherboard out of the case, jus...

Re: i720 whine - help!

the motherboard is an Asus P6T deluxe V2 I have tried a few things now and discovered that if I go into the Asus TurboV application (to overclock from Windows) and slightly increment the CPU voltage from 1.22 v to 1.23 v the noise will cease. Interestingly it seems that even when reverting to 1.22 v...

Re: i720 whine - help!

Just replaced the old vga with a more recent ati hd3870, no changes in the noise. It is not the graphic card.. sadly The noise is very difficult to pinpoint, as it has a very high frequency but it really does not seem to be coming from the PSU (which is mounted at the bottom of the case). So if you ...

Re: i720 whine - help!

Its not the CPU, its either the power subsystem on the motherboard or the power supply, which is indicative of a failure. Which one is failing is unknown Jeez.. that does not sound like good news then.. the motherboard is an Asus P6T deluxe and the power supply is a Corsair TX650.. Everything on th...
