OK, I'm noticing this more and more. First in a cheap MSI K8MMV board that I ended up giving away, in an unnamed board in a friends system, and now in the board in my sig.
I added the WD drive the other day, and my motherboard now emits a faint, high pitched irregular whine. Sounds like the whine of a CRT - barely audible, but just enough to bother you.
Is it just cheap power mosfets causing it?
Is there any way to stop it?
My system didn't have the whine before I added the drive - and no, its not the drive whining - nor the PSU. Its coming from something in the power mosfet area between the CPU and backplane of the motherboard.
