Hey.
Last week I replaced my stock intel HS with an Arctic Cooling alpine 11. My temps and noise improved greatly and I was pleased.
A few days ago I was replacing my old PSU and everything went fine, booted up, ran prime95 and everything seemed normal.
Then I noticed a high pitched sound coming from inside the case. It sounds like a mix of a really high pitched GPU fan and slight vibration.
I opened my case and noticed that its coming from the CPU. When I put my fingers around my cpu heatsink and apply very very light pressure (I barely need to touch it) on both sides of it the sound goes away completely.
What could this be? The fan is brand new.
