Strange noise from my DFI Expert???

[oqvist]

I can´t locate it. I got some really weird noise which I don´t think comes from the fans but is possible of course. But then I should be able to locate it you think if I put my ear next to them?

But hard to explain it´s kind of a low pitched drrrrr. Wondering if it can be my DFI Expert that can sound like that somehow? Have read something about the Expert making noise... Don´t think it´s the chipset fan if it´s. The computer runs as well as always and I haven´t seen temps rising on any of my parts either... Just want to know where it comes from before something completely fails on me.

Oh and not harddrives either.

I'm just gonna guess that it's those donut coils. ;)

Whats coils :). It´s really annoying I had a real quiet computer before and now got this...

[biohead]

electrical noise. Have you grounded everything, especially the I/O plate?

He meant donut coils that you can see in the middle of picture

It might as well be inside your power supply. In fact, it is most likely to be coming from your PSU

I agree, your coils are buzzing. Kindof concerning, I would switch boards ASAP.

Oh damn! I´s a brand new expert! Is this stuff covered by the warranty?.
I don´t think it´s from my PSU it doesn´t sound like it´s from that area...
Voltages appear stable though...
