    Whistling Asus P4P800

    I have been given an Asus Mobo which was faulty. I was told that the BIOS was "talking", Your CPU has a problem or similar fault message.

    When I hooked it up, the first thing I noticed was this whistling sound coming from the motherboard. I attempted to trace it with the old screwdriver in the earhole trick and found it was coming from somewhere around two caps adjacent the cpu.

    When I touched the CPU caps (1500uF x 6.3V), they were boiling hot though no caps showed physical signs of deterioration.

    Topcat experienced similar whistling on a board in this thread:

    kc8adu:
    the whistle was one of the converters running into a short.
    By converter do you mean VRM? What are the chances of a recap curing the problem given the caps are running so hot or is it likely that something else is stuffed?

    Thanks,
    Neo.

      Your issue seems similar to my Epox board... Is it really the VRM and not the coil that makes the noise?

          Replaced the row of caps near the CPU but it didn't work. Still the same symptoms as before.

              Now your issues seems even more similar to mine

              So, what except coils can really cause the "coil whine" described in this post? Are there any other components that really can?

                      Yes, it's common for many P4 boards.

                          When I first gotten my Asus A7V8X-X motherboard, it was squealing too! It usually only emitted a squeal when in DOS. It squealed alot when running Partition Magic to partition and format the HDD. It does it less. It squealed the most when it was brand new. What would cause that?

                          Thus, it's not just a Pentium 4 motherboad issue. It's probably a common issue with Asus motherboards.

                          Also, my Asus A7N8X-X motherboard squeals too. It squeals the most when idle.

                          The squeal goes away for at least the majority when running Prime95. All of the squeal comes back if I stop Prime95! LOL! Is that because of the coils?

                              Not a solution but I have exactly the same issue with the 9NDA3+ i linked above... Noise goes away at full load...

                                  Thank God my P4b533VM doesn't squeal.
