[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

Topic: Ok weird noise issue...

	Now let me preface this by saying that nothing else causes my PC to make this noise. It is a buzzing noise. A high pitched whine, almost. It is only there when I play AC. Temps are fine, system is rock solid, etc etc. But there is a whine. It is either from my GPU or my CPU. I'm not sure which. Further, the whine becomes more pronounced the larger my AC Window becomes. Not a damn thing else has triggered it. WoW, LOTRO, CS, Fallout 3, Movies, etc etc etc etc. Nothing but AC causes it. This is the first time I've EVER heard the noise and, not coincidentally, the first time I have tried to play AC on this PC. Does anyone have experience with something like this? Would anyone mind posting this on the AC Tech support forum for me? My trial account doesn't have access to that forum. Phenom II X4 940 BE 4 gig G.

	Resolved. AC puts my GPU under 80%+ stress and it causes a capacitor whine that is apparently common with my brand card. -----signature----- (none)
