Moofius Posted October 27, 2011 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I just bought a computer and assembled it yesterday with a corsair AX850. It makes all kinds of noices all the time. I have tested it with my gfx card and without (using the built in to the processor). computer turned off, no gfx card: extremely high pitched constant sound, barely audible (not whining sounds). I have to pull the plug on my computer when I'm going to sleep, because my computer is quite close to my bed.computer on, no gfx card: some smattering that kinda sounds like what a harddrive makes but more high pitched. Also some minor whining.no gfx card, prime95 on cpu: smattering, and low whiningfurmark on gfx card: smattering, some whiningfurmark (300fps + prime95 4 thread): whiningdeus ex = 100% gpu, 100% on 2 cpu cores: loud whining I filmed the whining sound (it gets even louder sometimes :/) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xery6nG0EFI How to fix this? I can't stand the noise. The only way to get rid of it is to game with loud music in my headphones, and I don't always want to listen to music when gaming.

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted October 28, 2011 Corsair Employees Share Posted October 28, 2011 Are you using a battery back up or APC? Have you tried to connect the system to another grounded outlet using an extension cord? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moofius Posted October 28, 2011 Author Share Posted October 28, 2011 There is a really small battery on my motherboard for the bios. I don't have any grounded outlets in my house. My last computer did not whine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
