Gaz Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Hi, I'm new to this forum but I have been pretty much a fan of all Corsair products (been through 3 sets of Corsair memory through varius upgrades). Just recently, I have bought a new system (Athlon 64 S939, 1GB Twinx 3200XL [not overclocked], 256MB ASUS x800 pro vid, Gigabyte K8NSNXP-939 MB flashed to the latest). Just recently, I've noticed a scretchy sound coming from the box during certain times of playing games (eg. Need for Speed Underground 2 on non gaming parts like intro movies, World of Warcraft intro movie and screen) where graphics are not pushed to the limits. Desktop seems fine though. At first I thought it was videocard but when I opened up my case, it came from the memoy sticks. I did a quick search for this but I seem to cannot find anyone with simular problems. I've pulled out a module, the noise significantly reduced. Is this supposed to be something normal (as I am never aware of such problems) or is this a sign or faulty ram?

Gaz Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Update: I've tried setting the voltage to 2.7volts and have found that the noise levels have decreased slightly, although its still noticable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wired Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 problem is, the memory can't make noise physically. probably a capacitor doing it though because of stress caused by the memory controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
