I'm running an Asus P9X79 motherboard and I'm getting a loud buzzing that sounds like a fan. I checked every fan - PSU, processor, and graphics card. They are all working fine. The buzzing sounds like it is coming from the motherboard itself. Performance isn't impacted but it's driving me crazy.

Also I just replaced the thermal paste on both the main processor and the graphics card. I made a vid to demonstrate the sound. [video="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvkSU4e6adA&"][/video]

Interesting. If it is an inductor is there a risk of damaging other components? And is there a fix besides replacing the motherboard (if it is the MB, not the PSU)?

Thanks again,
