Thats the beep code for the self destruct sequence lol

Serious now, did you install the stock fan for the athlon? CPU does not make noise. It's the fan that does

[Maauricio]

Yeah the stock fan

Then that's the culprit. Switch back to your old fan and see if you still hear the noise. Aftermarket cooler delivers the best cooling and is much quieter than stock.

Unless he doesn't have an aftermarket cooler in which case he A: shouldn't bother or B: should get one if he plans to overclock. Nice name btw  (Will annoy some people)

Case shows a width of 179.8 mm, and the EVO shows a height of 159 mm, so that gives you roughly 21 mm of clearance for the MB, CPU, and MB standoffs.  That's about 4/5 of an inch, so you should be OK.

A buzzing noise could also be coil whine. Could be coming from the motherboard or psu. It could be the fan as well. You could try stopping the fan for a couple seconds to see if that stops the buzzing. If it doesn't, then you'll need to try and find exactly where the noise is coming from.
