Hi there,
Just registered after spending sometime trying to find the answer to my question, which I wasnt able to get.
Anyways,
Got Striker Extreme, with intel e6600 on it, 4gb ram, geforce 8800 gts, 600w psu.
Recently started hearing noises from my desktop. Its quite loud high pitch noise, changing pitch depending on acctual load i'd say. At the beginning thought it was the graph. even contacted evga, they responded quickly agreeing 2 exchange the card, but somehow i never sent it.
forgot it for sometime and just couple of days ago the sound became lauder. since i found spare graphic card, thought i am gonna check if thats the problem. Guess what... noise still there.
After ripping out whatever i could from the box, changed the pci-e slot of my geforce so i got some more space btween graph and cpu, it turn out that the sound is comming from under the fan. well generally it wouldnt be the fan itself as i replaced with another one and noise is still there.
so now, i am trying to figure out if it is the Cpu or striker? would you know if thats something that can get fixed the good old DIY way ?
well i could probably live with that but looks like the performance is generally gradually dropping so I thought it may be the reason as the pc is just 12 months old (i know, i know .... 12 months for some people... that would be 2-3 pc)
thanks for help!
ps. really sorry if someone posted that b4 me, i did tryied to find it but cant see anything
