motherboard noise

[xdkimx]

i get this strange noise comming from my motherboard only when im either in the loading screen of 3dmark or while im in the menu of aquamark (its even louder and more consistant in am3), it sounds like "eeeeeeeeeeeee" or kind of like a bathroom sink running water in another room (since its not as loud)

iv done some searches and people say its either the capacitators or the coils making noise, anyone ever dealt with this issue and end up fixing it without having to rma the board?

also im 100% sure its not the fans or harddrives, as iv tried stopping all the fans and my harddrives in a lower bay far away from the mobo

thanks in advance

Coming from the coils or power section on the mainboard?

High pitched, but audible, whine = Excessive load.

OR

Hissing or white noise - possibly from inductors - this may be normal under certain conditions.

yeah i would say its closer to the second one, a hissing sound, like leaking air maybe

i requested an rma from dfi so hopefully that will fix it

thanks
