Buzzing Noise Coming from CPU Socket

zachpip1 · Feb 18, 2014

I have a buzzing noise coming from around the cpu socket area near the vrms, it usually starts only when i am booted into Windows and my cpu is around 15-30% load. It is overclocked but this overclock did not caused the noise because it was here before i overclocked it. I noticed the noise about a day after i built it last year, i didn't bother to do anything because my motherboard was functioning flawlessly. I have tried many things including, reflashing the bios, updating the bios, updating all drivers, 2 different psu's, clearing the cmos, changing the cmos battery, using only 1 of my hard drives, remove my graphics card and using onboard graphics. Nothing has worked. LINK TO NOISE= http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTsH9PphE0E&feature=youtu.be

scout_03 :

My temps are below normal for a stock cooler, usually around idle my cpu is about 30 degrees C and my gpu usually sits around 35. As for the noise in the video, you need to wear ear/head phones to hear it and it is very quite, i was only using my phone and its crap.

happend with my pc few days agosomething must be stuck in the cooler .... i blew some air over the cooler and it stopped or must be too high rev of cooler

i use my speaker system at high volume and the only sound i could have seams to me a fan out of balance and hitting the side check your cpu fan .

here is a new link, listen for the noise that sounds like morse code, using my headset i can hear it quite loudly, i disconnected all unnecessary fan and turned the speed of my cpu fan down to 10%.

crazy noise cant say anything...

scout_03 · Feb 20, 2014

i still think it is the cpu fan blade .

the noob · Feb 21, 2014

yup.... try a new cooler

scout_03 :

Its not i unplugged the cpu fan briefly because at first i thought it might be that but the noise still continued.

the noob · Feb 21, 2014

it might be the vibration from the fan going to the cpu thus also making it vibrate.... must be some loose fan pins

the noob :

I have gone out and bought another amd stock cooler, no difference, the noise is still there

do you have a fan on top of your case unplug it.

scout_03 :

i dont, i have unplugged all necessary fans including my 2 case and my hdd fan, turned down my cpu/gpu fan, the noise just becomes more apparent because there is less fan noise

the noob · Feb 23, 2014

ur mobo and gpu are scrwed tight??? i could also be hdd vibration while seeking same noise comes from my hdd

zachpip1 · Feb 23, 2014

the noob :

all screwed in nice and tight, hdd is not the problem, unplugged all of the drives and i booted of a usb, noise is still there. However setting the power plan to something other the high performance the noise is no longer constant, this leads me to believe that the CPU clock speed affects the noise

scout_03 · Feb 24, 2014

since it is overclocked could it be that the overclock is too high so by reducing perf you reduce the speed and power ask from it to work .
