Strange buzzing under load noise from video card
Posted: Wed Nov 21, 2012 10:30 pm
Ok i have A 2600k overclocked in a p67-ud4-b3 MB with 8 gb corsair Vengence ddr3 1600 mem. Sporting 2 EVGA SuperClocked GTX 560 TI's setup in SLI with the latest Beta drivers. "I installed the beta drivers after i noticed the noise"
So here is my problem. I just Noticed it tonight, i know it ever made the noise before.
When i load a 720p HD video in MPC-HC and the window is not maximized and i move the MPC-HC window with the 720p video paused I am hearing a quiet almost inaudible transistor type buzzing noised coming from the video card plus it is loading the card around 25% at game clockspeeds/not video playback clocks or idle clockspeeds, Its not cards since i disabled SLI after i noticed the noise. I have moved HD video windows around before and never noticed the noise before. Now I have to note that the cards have been running stock for a while since i have not played a game on the rig in a good while. But i have converted Blu ray images to MKVs many times utilizing CUDA and never noticed any noise plus it only loads the second/slave card about 35-40%.
Now the first thing i am going to do is swap the cards top and bottom and take the rig outside and blow it all out with the Air compressor, cards and all but i am going to mark the top primary card so i can keep track of it.
So hear is my Question:
Has anyone else noticed a slight but clearly audible electronic buzzing type transistor perhaps ionizer buzz type noise from a slightly loaded or heavy loaded video card ?? If so, do you know the cause and the fix besides replacing the card.
I have to get the turkey stuffing ready and do not have time to play with it right now but was curious if anyone has come across a similar problem that might help me as i mess with it on Thanksgiving
Thank you all ahead of time and Happy Thanksgiving
I cannot wait to have that tryptophan running through my system and making me pass out:)
