hi everyone.. i own a moderate gaming PC,which i occasionally use to play games. I have no problems for first few months from the purchase date. Now,whenever i play heavy games like mw2, or GTA IV, the rig makes sound like vibrating metal plate. It is really irritating sound.I checked many times and found nothing that is causing the sound .

when its idle,its normal,only when heavy usage,the irritating sound comes back.

any solution for this problem??


thx in advance for help..

My guest would be PSU..

please list your pc specs here..

erm.

AMD PHENOM II X3 720
MSI 770-C45
KINGSTON DDR3 1333 2gb x 2
palit gtx 260
LG 22x dvdrw
Coolermaster CM690
WD 640GB
Vantec ion2 620w

something loose may be
hdd put in hdd rack,hard to vibrate
did u pull apart ur case?

my case,only when i wana check the sound source. My casing is CM 690,

its a common problem for amd heatsink

change the heatsink and it should be ok

make sure the size fits your mobo and casing

should cost you around rm130

Other than that...check all the fan like psu fan,processor fan and gc fan...some of them will run faster when loading

hmm.. im kinda agree to this,because when i play some heavy games,the sound come from the CPU site...

anyway,thank u very much for ur info.

try clean the heat sink and the fans...

u got how many fans in ur CM690 ? i also using CM690, i also annoyed by these kind noise n i solve it by removing the front panel steel bars, those grey in color ( dunno wat is the exact name for it ) n i also remove 2 of my top exhaust fans. then the noise gone.

i've been told tat top fans r useless if u r using 120mm 90CFM coz the honey combs holes r too small so the heat cant b blown out. n yes it is true.

i got 3 fans,one front, behind and one at the side,(near the acrylic window)


u mean which front panel steel bars?

does this apply to the cm 690 II oso?

would like to know this answer too as there's a pre-installed fan on da top of the casing

Face same problem and solved following azerroes' advice

Agree with azerroes too..Previously used AMD and the stock HSF produce noisy sound..Try change the hsf and see the different..
