Electric sounding crackling noise from CPU
8 hours ago, Whatisthis said:Different power loads cause different frequencies of vibration. The whine is still likely there, but in a less audible part of the sound spectrum.
You could try yet another motherboard, or try an intel setup. There is no practical way to remove coil whine.
you could also run the computer in a soundproofed location with extension cords for display and usb.
Thanks, Whatisthis. I did try a like for like replacement of my mobo, but not a completely different one.
I called AMD today. After hearing that I had replaced or removed every single component, other than the CPU itself, the AMD rep was thinking it had to be a bad CPU. Then, when I explained that the noise went away while in BIOS, he said he was 100% confident that it's a bad processor.
