High pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor

I am getting high pitch hissing sound from 970A-G46 motherboard with AMD FX 8 core processor.
Sound is coming from some place near CPU area.
I tried changing Core C 6 State in BIOS from Enabled to Disabled to fix this issue.
I also followed steps in following link, w w w . tomshardware.com/forum/292915-30-high-pitched-noise-coming-area
No luck with above changes.
I heard this is a common problem with MSI motherboards. Is there any fix for this issue.

That is surely no typical problem of MSI mainboards. In fact that is very rare if it is the board.
Tke the board out of case on a non conductive surface with nothing else connected but but mainboard, ram, psu, cpu and vga. Try it again after clearing CMOS (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<)
If you are then 100% sure that it is the board this could be a defect as MSI mainbaords normally don't cause coil whine and I haven't heard that about 970A-G46 so far
I tried clearing CMOS by replacing jumper and loading factory defaults. Still high pitch sound is coming intermittently. As my 30 day period is over with Frys Electronics, How easy to get a replacement board from MSI. Does anyone know the steps?

  • 2011 MBP 17" 2.3 GHz - High pitch hissing sound from left speaker

    When I transfer large amounts of data (wifi and ethernet) I get a high pitch hissing sound from the left speaker. When the transfer is done, the hissing stops.
    Is anyone else experiencing this and is there anything I can do to stop it?
    When it occurred: I was transferring data from my old MBP to my new 2011 MBP first via WiFi, then by Ethernet (much faster . My old (2007) MBP had not hissing what so ever, by my new MBP was rather loud. I'm very happy it's only when using the network.

    I get this sound every time I download, WiFi or Ethernet it dosen't matter the sound is the same. I can't guarantee that it's from the speaker, I have an old Netgear switch that sounds the same when I use it (just to clarify: I'm not using that switch anymore or ever have with this MBP)
    So it could be some electrical sound (I'm not a hardware engineer) just a guess.

  • High Pitched Whining Sound from Macbook

    We bought the new 13" Aluminum Macbook today. In getting it set up there have been some periodic times where it started making a very high pitched whining sound that I could hear but my wife could not.
    The ability to hear these high end sounds go away as you get older.
    Just wondering if this will need to be repaired / returned ? What do we do. I can't stand it!!

    Phil is right of course. You should send/take it back and get a new one.
    Is the whine coming from the hard drive?
    With the easy to replace hard drive in the new MacBook you can easily swap out the hard drive in your current unit with the new unit. That saves you reinstalling programs and transferring data. However with a whine I would be leery about keeping the same hard drive.

  • High Pitched Chirping sound from within Mac Pro Case

    Mac Pro Late 2008.  Emits high pitched chirping sound for about one minute and then stops. Periodically comes back, then goes away.
    Is this a warning of some kind?  It's coming from within the case.  It's not mechanical, it sounds like an alert.  But nothing stops working and nothing has stopped working but it comes, it goes and then comes again.
    Any ideas?

    You say it's not mechanical, but it does sound like it could be a fan or drive bearing. Especially if you are in a warm environment.
    Do you have external speakers connected or are you using your internal speaker?

  • Enabling analog output sound on MSI 970A-G46 motherboard

    Please tell me how to enable analogue output on my MSI 970A-G46 motherboard (via Realtek integrated audio card). I installed the drivers, but I only have Realtek Digital Output and Realtek Digital Output (Optical) available. The analogue output (Realtek High Definition Audio) returns "Not plugged in" error. How can I enable this output ? What exactly shall I plug in ? Everything is plugged in. I think it may have something to do with the JAUD1 connector, but I'm not sure. On old AC'97, it used to be 2 jumpers that needed to short some pins, but I don't know if this is the case with the new Realtek HD anymore (who has a different connector). Thanks.

    Try the appropriate drivers from this page:
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false
    I would first uninstall your present Realtek sound drivers, then reinstall the driver from the above page link. You have to check the box that says "I accept to the above" (yes, poor English...), then hit the "Next" button and the driver page loads.
    They work fine.

  • Satellite L850-1R4 - Freezing with high pitched buzzing sound

    Greetings.
    I obtained this computer from my school, it was packed and not opened as far as I know(to my knowledge they didn't open 'em at least.) Around 5-6 times every day (Span of 6 hours at least) my computer freezes, with a very high pitched buzzing sound that sounds like a bloody drill.
    I updated my drivers and everything, but this still occurs and I have to power restart the computer to be able to continue working/playing/watching anything.
    How can I solve this?
    Thank you and best regards.
    Berkcan S.

    > Furthermore If I take it to factory settings (which I tried some months back) It gives me further crashes, freezes and blue screens.
    Sorry mate but for me it sounds like an hardware problem. BSOD can be caused due serious software issue (compatibility between driver and hardware) or hardware malfunction but setting the unit back to factory setting should not cause an software issues. Therefore I presume an hardware part is the troublemaker.
    The common parts like HDD or RAM modules should be checked firstly following by motherboard, CPU, etc

  • High-pitched beep/sound during sleep and shut down modes

    I just wish to check whether is it normal that there's high pitched beep (not very loud but can be heard in a quiet room) which seems to be from the LED or AC Adapter during sleep mode. The beep sounds continuous when the computer has been shut down or in off mode while the main plug of where the ac adapter is connected to is still on. Is this normal? My computer works fine. Battery is charging fine. I just want check whether is this normal. It is has been like that ever since I bought my computer on March 2012.
    HP Pavilion dm4-3005tx Entertainment Notebook PC

    Hello Huanwei,
    It appears that you can hear a "high pitched beep" coming from the notebook while it's in sleep mode or even off, when the power adapter is plugged in and "on". I will try to help you with this.
    Normally, this should not happen. Beeping from a computer may happen during start up a few times to indicate components enabling, but any constant beeping or being while the computer is off shouldn't happen.
    Does this occur, if the AC adapter is not connected to the notebook when it is in sleep mode or off? Do you only notices this, in a specific location? (office, etc.)
    I would suggest, depending on the setup of things. Taking the notebook with no AC to another location in the house. A quiet one, make sure your not near any other electronics (no watches or cell phones either) let the notebook sleep and see if you hear the beeping. If not, then power it off and test again. If no beeping, this is good and the notebook is fine.
    Repeat that same test with the power adapter connected ( again no other electronics around you). Listen while it is "sleeping" and off to see if you can hear the beeping again.
    If you do disconnect the AC from the notebook , but leave that connected to the wall and take the notebook out of that location, go back to see if you can hear beeps again. If you do it could be the AC adapter. If you don't then it could be an issue with that only when it's connected.
    If there was no beeping when the AC was connected in this "testing location", then I would guess it is something else within the house that is beeping (we have seen that before). In which case you'd have nothing to worry about in regard to your notebook.
    Let me know where the above leads.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • High-Pitched Electronic sound

    I'm a long-time Windows guy & I just received my replacement 17"MBP as the first one had a loose screen. I notice a high-pitched buzzing sound emanating from the upper left side of the laptop only when the power supply is plugged in. It is not very loud but the high-pitched frequency really stands out when the room is quiet. Is this normal? If I click the trackpad button, the sound goes away. I've researched this board but could not find the same situation. Tech Support says the MBP's are louder than prevous models and suggested I take it to an Apple Store (3 hoours away). Any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    If you were to send the computer to Apple, they would do absolutely nothing to fix it. I've spoken to a product specialist on many occasions now, and they flat out refuse to acknowledge the fact that it is buggy.
    I have even given the specialist many ways to eliminate the whine via software fixes (IE: Photobooth, Mirror Widget, Comic Life, Ect) and they still maintain it is 'within spec'.
    What is disconcerting to me, is that if the issue is glaring people in the face (MacBook Plastic on the vents) they will openly admit to it, but if it is something they can spin as being 'spec', they will ignore it.

  • High pitch ringing sound when i plug my headphones in.

    Hi
    I am currently using a Macbook Pro 15" retina display
    There has been no problems previously. Out of no where, today my headphones has this high pitched ringing sound whenever i plug it in.
    The audio is fine when I do not use any headphones. but when i plug them in, there is a ringing sound. This is happens as well when i plug in other headphones I have.
    I have tried going to Sound under System Preferences and adjusting the stuff there but nothing seems to work.
    This ringing sound makes listening to anything unbearable.
    Please help

    There is a micro switch inside the socket to switch between the optical output (digtal), headphones and internal speakers. It sometimes gets stuck.
    Push the headphone plug into the socket numereous times and see if it frees the switch. Please do not push other foreigh objects into the socket as you may break the switch and/or the electrical contacts.

  • High Pitched Microphone sound

    My laptop - ASUS K501L - produces a high pitched whistling sound, as well as other background static noises, when I use Skype. However, the problem is not present on other platforms, such as Google Hangouts and Line. I have tried manually adjusting the mic volume, but this does not fix the issue, and moreover it does not seem to change the volume of sound the receiving party hears. Plugging in earphones to eliminate audio feedback also does not work, but muting my mic stops the static the other end hears.
    Thus, I have determined it is a problem with Skype, but I can't find any way to fix this. Help?
    Thanks!

    Hey, great suggestion Burn. It prompted me to look at iChat preferences, since that was the only application that I've had open which might engage the internal microphone.
    Within iChat Preferences, I clicked on the 'Video' icon, and for the 'Microphone' setting I saw that 'None selected' (or something like that - that option has gone now?) was in place. So I changed the setting to Internal Microphone. The whistle or screech was still there. Then I changed the setting to 'Line In'. No more screech!!
    A good result, but is this the way it's supposed to be? Does having the setting as 'Line In' mean that I have to plug headphones in whenever I want to use iChat for internet telephony? Unless I manually change to Internal Microphone, but then I suffer screeching again?
    Cheers, Steven

  • When I access Wealth Engine X My computer makes a high pitch whining sound. Why ?

    When I log in to this website My computer makes a high pitch whining sound.
    I also have this problem when surfing on Auto Surf Pro; and recently, while the auto surf was running, My computer shut off its
    power, and I had to run the repair diagnostic to get it to start again.
    I also have this problem with Empower Network with regard to the videos on there; and some of the videos "get" an "unable to load plugin" message when I try to open them.

    Sounds like the drive although I suppose it could be fans if something is wrong with them. when my fans go into high performance mode they do not make this kind of noise. Are you also noticing more vibration when this occurs to the left of the trackpad where the hard drive is? About the only thing you can do is take it into the Apple store and have them look at it.

  • MSI 970a-g46 motherboard starts up but doesn't display anything.

    Hello, I'm having problems with a new motherboard I got from Amazon, specifically the 970a-g46. The following are my specs in use with this motherboard:
    CPU: AMD Phenom 2 x4 965
    GPU: nVidia GeForce 560 GTX
    Ram: 8gb Kingston HyperX Fury 1866mhz.
    PSU: Corsair 650TX (650 Watts)
    Compatability-wise, everything checks out so I wasn't expecting problems at first. All the other parts excluding the ram I've used before. Here's exactly what happens:
    I power up the computer after everything is installed and connected. The 4 phase LEDs turn on which tell me the CPU is powered up and working (so I assume). I don't get any beeps or buzzs mainly because I don't see any speaker/buzzer on this board. The monitor blinks and while it is connected to my GPU, it doesn't display anything, it's just a black screen. I can leave it on for a few minutes and I'll still not see anything happen. An important observation here is that my keyboard which has LEDs will turn on after a short period of time in boot-up (with my older set-up that is). This does not happen ever regardless of how long I leave my computer on on this new mobo.
    I've gone over and checked/tested numerous things:
    * The PCI-E and ATX cables for the GPU, motherboard and CPU are all connected and secured (I've tried both 4-pin and 8-pin connections for the CPU, neither help).
    * I've tried jumping the CMOS multiple times to no avail.
    * I tested the ram on another computer and it worked just fine on that one.
    * I've tested the motherboard without a GPU and it still does nothing (though I think that's because this motherboard doesnt have its own integrated GPU for some reason).
    So far the only possible reasons why my computer is not working is because of my PSU (very unlikely as it's only a year old and it's a Corsair, which I've heard is very reliable in the long-run), GPU (It is quite a few years old but even without the GPU my computer still doesn't go past boot-up), CPU (possible due to its age and how many freaking time I've reseated it (probably around 8 times) so I wouldn't doubt it, but before I put it into this motherboard I did check its pins and they were all there and placed nice and smoothly into the socket.) and finally the motherboard (it's possible that this is just a defected motherboard and giving me a super hard time which would be a first in all the years I"ve spent computer building).
    The best case scenario of course is me giving some kind of oversight to how I transferred over the parts and connectors. I might've missed something obvious to please any advice/insight on how I can solve this problem would be greatly appreciated
    EDIT: Some other things I did but forgot to mention:
    * Checked ground nut things and ensured they matched the specifications of the motherboard ATX; only 6 are under the board and each one is aligned up with the holes on the board as designed.
    * Tried booting up without powering the CPU. Only one phase LED light came on, still the same problem (for an obvious reason this time now).
    * Re-seated GPU multiple times, re-connected cables multiple times.
    What I have NOT done is re-seat the CPU because I am almost out of acetone so I would need to get another supply of that which won't be until tomorrow. I also have not re-seated everything back on my older motherboard to check if it still works. Tomorrow I'll most likely do that and if I find that the old motherboard works flawlessly then that tells me that the new motherboard I got is either defected or there's some compatability issue I"m missed out on.
    EDIT 2: Just found a speaker and plugged it into the motherboard. Booted it up and I got no beeps whatsoever. So this mobo is giving me no video activity (there is a signal it's just blank), and no beeps from the motherboard. I have no idea what that could mean at this point.
    EDIT 3: I decided to test a few things with the new speaker I just got. First I removed ram and tried running, I got 3 beeps which I assume is the beep sequence of faulty/no ram. Removed the power to CPU and the GPU itself individually, gave no beeps this time.

    What's the serial number of your MB? Needed to determine what BIOS may be on the MB. Exactly which version of the CPU is it? There were several different 965 CPUs and they required different BIOS versions, 1.2, 1.9,2.2 depending on which CPU you actually have.
     Also another problem may be that native memory supported by your CPU is DDR3-1333, not 1866
     None of the supported CPUs have integrated graphics, any MB graphics would be in the chipset, not CPU. Examples would be 785G, 880G
    Thank you very much rhradacut! The problem was that the mobo for whatever reason was forcing 1866mhz on my CPU when it only supported up to 1600mhz. I had to install a spare ddr3 module to downclock it so that I could access the BIOS and manually set the DRAM timing to 1600mhz for it to work. That's a very strange problem that I figured would've been auto-resolved by the hardware, and would also be a big problem if I didn't have any spare DDR3 ram to work with.
    Once again thanks for helping out on solving my problem.

  • Qt high pitched squeeling sound

    Hi
    I have a MOTU 828mkII on a G4 Powerbook with OSX 10.4.8 and i'm getting this very high pitched beep/squeel and clipping sound whenever i try to play any audio in Logic Pro 7.1 or Reason 3.0 and also when watching videos in iTunes. However, playing music in iTunes is fine. I get the same problem when watching quicktime videos online (e.g. movie trailers from apple.com).
    I reinstalled the latest MOTU drivers and it didnt fix it. I tried reinstalling QuickTime before and it fixed it but when the problem came back and i tried it again it didnt work.
    I suspect its a Quicktime codec issue but can't be too sure.
    Anyone experienced anything like this? any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    You say it's not mechanical, but it does sound like it could be a fan or drive bearing. Especially if you are in a warm environment.
    Do you have external speakers connected or are you using your internal speaker?

  • High pitch whine noise from speakers and other issues

    I just got a 2010 Mac Mini and transferred all of my data and apps and accessories from my old Mac Mini which was running 10.6.4 (2007 I think). One of the accessories is a Griffin Firewave. I had to get a new firewire cable to attach the Firewave since the new Mac Mini has a firewire 800 port. On the old Mac it worked great, I was able to run 5.1 speakers with no problem. With the new Mac things aren't so nice. I get a high pitch whine through the speakers. The whine will go up and down in volume with the volume control on my sound system (Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra) as well as with the Mac volume control. I can increase the gain in the Firewave app which will increase the volume of what I want to hear without increasing the volume of the whine, however it will cause the audio I want to hear to distort. The other issue I have is that when I put the Mac to sleep it seems to cut all power to the firewire port, causing the Firewave to turn off and lose its settings. I believe this to be a bad design on the Firewave's part but the old Mac did not shut off the power to the firewire port when going to sleep so this was not an issue. So my questions are, does anyone else have problems with external sound cards having a high pitch whine noise and is there a way to prevent the firewire port from turning off when the Mac sleeps?
    BTW, I have tried reinstalling the Firewave driver (several times) and I've unplugged and re-plugged the firewire cable at both ends. I have both the Mac and the sound system plugged into a line conditioner so I doubt it's dirty power. I do realize that the Firewave only claims support up to 10.5 but it was working without issue on the old Mac Mini on 10.6

    I have the same problem. I have an early 2009 Mac mini and get the whiny noise from my powered speakers. The volume of the whine noise tends to change smoothly up or down, and often does a stuttering effect along with it. It stays there for up to a minute or so and then eventually goes away. It always seems to happen at random times.
    I've heard this same sound effect coming from a podcast that I was listening to on my iPod Touch. It seems that the interviewer was recording from a Mac mini as well, though not sure. The sound in the recording was exactly like what I hear coming from my Mac mini. I often thought that this was a problem with my speaker system, but was surprised to find that others are experiencing the same kind of issues.

  • Do your MacBook make a high pitch beeping sound?

    Just got a late 2011 MacBook pro with SSD hard drive (17 inch i7).
    I have noticed an almost inaudiable high pitch 'morse code' like beeping coming from the machine. Maybe the SSD being accessed?
    I do have tinnitus and have been known to become irritated from low Hz monitors and TVs in the days when they operated at 50-60 Hz. So maybe something in the machine is operating at that fequency.
    It may be nearly audible, but it's driving me mad when the music is off and I'm trying to concentrate!
    Does anyone else experience this?

    Does the beep sound similar to this video? Skip to the 00:44 mark to hear the sound. If the sound is this one that means that your Mac is trying to update its EFI.
    Would you mind recording a soundbyte? That could be really helpful. It's not possible that the sound is coming from the SSD, perhaps is your fans.
    Hope that helps.
    P.S. If you are too bothered you can also make an appointment at your local Apple Store Genius Bar.
