DH55HC motherboard High Pitched Noise

[Priscilia]

I have been attempting to get a solution to a weird issue that has been in recent times arising to me. My Intel DH55HC motherboard is emitting several weird high-pitched electronic chirping noises. I do not believe it was the psu fan for the reason that while I set the fan for high, I be able to absolutely hear the fan. I have checked the entire the other components as well as the entire the fans plus nothing appears to be abnormal. Is there any answer to this or should I return the Intel DH55HC motherboard?

The noise coming from several components on the motherboard, as well as it is caused while the cpu is on idle mode. Enter setup as well as disable the c-state alternative. You will observe that noise disappear. Unfortunately, by performing this you are disabling a helpful characteristic on the fresh processor which makes it lower its power use as well as clock speed so it be able to consume less power as well as lower it's temperature. this characteristic is called SPEED STEP. i believe it is a mainboard related issue.

I consider that is the difficulty of your capacitor which is why it is creating the sound. It could be the difficulty of leaking capacitor consequently does not touch this while the power is on. It could create a static electricity which is able to have an effect on you lots. So to solve this you require replacing the motherboard. You be able to too take the motherboard to some system repair shop in addition to get this solved.
