Asus M2A-VM HDMI Squeaking noise

[badguyswant]

Hi all this is my first time using this forum because this is my first time having a problem that i cannot figure out. I Have this as my current setup.

AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition Cpu
Asus M2A-VM Hdmi Mobo
6 Gigs OCZ Memory at 800mhz
PNY geforce 9600gt 512Mb
200Gb Hdd
OCZ StealthXstream Power supply 500W

My problem is a high pitch frequency which i know is comming from the motherboard i have tried Anouther cpu, Diffrent ram, and a diffrent power supply. iv narrowed it down to the "coils" on the motherboard causing this. The caps on the motherboard well brand wise is KZG and TK. i was woundering if replacing them may change this issue. Im getting sick of the noise when i am trying to play games . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The search function on this site is your friend.

Anyway, KZG are a known crap cap. If you decide to recap your mobo, remember the polarity marks are backwards on ASUS. A few clear photos (using macro on a digital camera) will help to remember which way the caps are reinstalled. Also, buy your caps from here or a reputable dealer such as Digikey or Mouser if you live in the US.

Thanks For some help. just found out the board is not under warrenty so i will most likely go ahead and order some new capacitors. I will need some help finding them and ill take a picture of the board and name the capacitor specs. I just dont know how to find the right ripple and all that stuff.
