Re: Intel 945 PCIe frequency setting?
I'm having the exact same problem with my neo5-f that I bought about a month ago. I recently tried to overclock the E7300 that I've been running on it at stock but when I pushed the FSB over 294 MHz the idiot BIOS defaulted the ram voltage to 2.1V which was plane dangerous for the 1.8V DDR2-800MHz. Contacting MSI customer service was a total waste of my time.
Were you able to use a lower memory voltage at the overclocked FSB after all?

Re: ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
Ok.. ordered 1500uf rubycons and 1800uf panasonics. The panasonics are being shipped from hongkong so it's gonna take a while..Leave a comment:

Re: ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
I couldn't read off every information from the sides of the caps since the motherboard is still inside the casing but I'm pretty sure that the characters "kjz" are on the 1800uf/6.3v caps and "rlx 0615" are on the 1500uf/16v caps.
What's the rating of those 640/4j caps?
I'm considering getting them from here: [url]http://stores.ebay.com/PC-MotherBoard-Capacitors-Store[/url]

Re: ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
That's quite a bit of effort to invest in a three year old el cheapo board, except maybe for the whole experience of soldering capacitors which I could use! Now I'll have to find quality replacements for all the caps on the board.
By the way, that whining noise seems to tick and pulsate whenever the processor is under load like playing flash contents, dragging or scrolling web pages, etc. Is that a typical effect of drying up caps or can there be other components on the board about to go belly up?
Thanks...Leave a comment:

Re: ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
Did you replace all the caps on the board or just the ones in the regulator? The caps in the picture are 1500uf, 6.3v and 1800uf, 16v. Do I have to replace with exact values or is there a little bit of freedom in choosing the caps?Leave a comment:

I'd like to know that too since the caps look fine physically.Leave a comment:

Re: ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
Well, I've tried a different power supply and it made the same noise. I disconnected the extra drives and fans so the load on the supply would be minimum. One more thing, it's been occasionally freezing up during post when it's trying to detect the sata and the ide drives. Couple of restarts seem to fix it. Thanks.Leave a comment:

Thanks for your reply. I pressed on each of those coils with the rubber end of a pencil but it didn't seem effect the frequency or loudness of the whine. I've been using this motherboard with the same processor and bios configuration for almost two years now and this is the first time it's making this noise (started about two weeks ago).Leave a comment:

ECS P4M800Pro-M Ver 1.0A high pitched whine
My ecs p4m800pro-m motherboard has recently started generating this high pitched whining noise from the area behind the cpu where the regulator caps and coils are located. I couldn't isolate the exact component causing the noise but I'm sure it's not any of the fans or the drives. Sometimes the noise oscillates when I'm scrolling a webpage or doing something graphics intensive. The capacitors didn't look bulging or leaking to me. Here's a picture of that section of the motherboard. What do you guys think? Could it be bad capacitors making that gawd awful annoying noise?...
