Hi, i recently bought new motherboard+CPU+ram, the motherboard is making high pitch electrical noise that is barely heard, some people don't hear it at all but it annoys me.
I noticed that if i plug ethernet cable the noise slighly increase. The motherboard I/O shield might be installed incorectly, i bended those metal tabs out of the way but some aren't touching the motherboard anymore.
I had this PSU on other compe previously and i don't recall that whistle sound so i suspect the motherboard. Also the previous comp was louder so it might have covered that noise but i doubt it.
PC specifications:
Motherboard - Asus H97M-E ( http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H97ME/ )
CPU - Intel i7 4790
PSU- Corsair GS 800 800w
GPU - Asus R9 270x
RAM - Crucial Balistix 1866Mhz 9-9-9-27
Should i RMA the motherboard? I really don't want to be without a comp for few days and then get same problem.
Can it be that the PSU is too strong now with the new haswell CPU instead of my old Q6600 Quad?
