K7N2 Delta - L buzzing

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.msi-microstar (More info?)

I bought a K7N2 last week that was DOA and the replacement runs great but
there is a buzzing sound comming from the motherboard near the cpu area.
It's not the cpu or power supply. I tried my other systems cpu and power
supply and still get the same buzzing sound. It changes as cpu load changes.

Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Ron

Mine does it too. Sounds like someone getting their head shaved at boot
camp. I think it's what's under those heatsinks.

Do you have the 4 pin 12V connected?

I sent the Problem Descrition Form to MSI and got a reply within half hour
which is below.
2 bad mb's in a row !!

Here is their reply:

Hi,

Please contact your reseller/vendor for an replacement. The board is
defective.

Thanks

I just exchanged this motherboard for a doa board and it runs great except
that there is an electronic buzzing sound coming from the motherboard. It
changes as the cpu usage changes. I have elimated the power supply and the
cpu as the source of the sound. I saw a few articles in computer forums
about some motherboard voltgage coils causing this type of noise.

Is this motherboard one of those types and is there any problem I might
have with it in the near future or is this buzzing sound nothing to worry
about.

Thankyou
Ron

Damn, I imagine it's too late for mine. Board runs fine otherwise. Oh
well...

I snipped my last reply a little poorly.
Try running without the 4 pin plugged in.
For further information see this thread:
http://forum.msi.com.tw/thread.php?threadid=16291&sid=
I've not personally had this problem but its fairly well documented in
the above.

Interesting. I never would've thought of that. I only plugged the thing in
because I had picked a new Antec PS that had the 4-pin. Everyone says plug
it in for "stability". I'll yank it out and see if it changes.

Thanks...

I unplugged it, no change. But it seems to run the same either way. I
tested it by running Prime95 which really makes it go crazy.
