    Capacitor "Crackling"

    I have a Asus Power M5 which emits a "crackling" noise from the general CPU area, I think this might be the capacitors as nearly all of the system voltages are out by around 1.5 to 2 volts (it fried a USB memory stick), I have tested the PSU voltages and they are all fine, however there have been no system instabilities.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Don't think it's the caps making that noise. Rather the inductors switching the CPU power. But it may be caused by bad caps indeed.

      I once fired up a pc and heard a crackling sound. It turned out that bubbles were coming out of one of the caps.
      I love putting bad caps and flat batteries in fire and watching them explode!!

      No wonder it doesn't work! You installed the jumper wires backwards
