Hello, lately I have noticed that my CPU produces a wierd buzzing electrical noise. It mostly happens when I move my mouse, but it also happens sometimes under load ( for example, when i download games, the noise gets louder). I am 100% sure the noise is coming from my CPU socket.
I've took out the psu and listened, the noise was still coming from the cpu. I have tried stopping the cpu fan with my finger, the noise was still there. Is this something I should worry about? I have also tested this with another motherboard, the noise was still there. The only issue I am having is stutter in some games, but I'm not sure if they are related. The cpu is not overheating, when I was testing it it never went higher that 44C. The only thing I can tall about my cpu is that I have no thermal paste on it, but that shouldnt be the problem as the temp never goes critical.
My build:
Intel i5 3570
Corsaircx500
Corsair vengance 4gb x2
msi z77A-g43
Gtx 660 asus.
