    Odd Scenario - Please help in diagnosis and solution

    Thanks for the quick responses, everyone. I think I will try a thorough rebuild/clean as my first step as suggested. Unplug everything, take everything out, blow it out, and rebuild. I won't go as far as to take the heatsink/fan off the CPU. I have not heard any unusual noises coming from...

    Odd Scenario - Please help in diagnosis and solution

    Hello all. I am a bit of an odd situation and I am a little desperate to get it resolved. I have a PC that I built in 2006. I boot it up 2 nights a week to play an old video game and I have been doing this without ANY issues for the past 4 years. For various reasons, I need/want to keep...

    Odd Soundcard Issue / Broken?

    Thanks for the reply. Right before I took my headphones off I did remove a goose down blanket I had on, so that probably had something to do with it. It just seems so odd the card would get messed up. I thought if anything maybe the headphones would get damaged. The shock didn't seem like...

    Odd Soundcard Issue / Broken?

    Hello, I ran into a situation this morning and was looking for some feedback on what happened. I was listening to my headphones (Sennheiser HD598) plugged into my pc's PCI sound card (Asus Xonar DG). I went to take my headphones off and there was a static electricity type shock that...

    Power Supply Noise + Recommendations

    Thanks for the replies folks. Oddly enough, this noise has disappeared. I will see if it comes back and update the thread. I agree with the coil whine as stated above. I found my Corsair AX750 to whine to a point where I didn't find it bearable. When running Prime95 or 3DMark it would get...

    Power Supply Noise + Recommendations

    I was using my PC this morning without any noticeable issues and then turned it off for about 5 hours. When I turned it back on, there was an audible noise coming from my power supply - kind of a faint buzzing "electricity" type sound. My power supply never made this kind of noise before...

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    I just recently got everything all set in my new system using a P8Z68-V Pro. I have a question about disks. I am using an SSD (Crucial M4 128GB) as my primary, plugged into the grey 6gbps connectors. No issues there, I have gotten read speeds of 490MB/s in HDTune. I also have 3 Samsung...

    Success story for AX850?

    It does really seem like a coin flip whether you get a Corsair/Seasonic unit with coil whine. My AX750 whines very loud and I have read other threads about various Corsair units doing the same. But there are also a lot of people who contribute and say their units are quiet. Really a crap shoot

    Power Supply for new Build (Not Corsair/Seasonic)

    Placed my order for an Antec HCP-750 tonight. Hopefully by going with an Antec/Delta unit I will not have any coil whine like I am experiencing with my AX750. Thanks for the help, I will report back with results once installed.

    ASUS Official Z68 Chipset Motherboards - Support Thread

    Hello everyone, I recently put a build together with a P8Z68-V Pro. I have read some posts with people explaining a "dual boot" issue, ie the system appears to boot twice upon start-up/restart. I am wondering if this is a confirmed issue that everyone has, or if it is somehow hardware...

    Power Supply for new Build (Not Corsair/Seasonic)

    Hmm I am leaning towards the HCP-750, but will definitely check out the Lepa G700, have not heard of Lepa before. Thanks for the suggestions, any others to consider?

    GTX570 and Corsair AX750 issue

    daviasdf - I too have whine when using firefox, loading and scrolling pages (sometimes idling). WorldExclusive - that is exactly what I was thinking of doing. Purchase a new PSU from newegg, hope that it works, and then send the AX750 back for refund. I have never RMA'ed an item before. Is...

    GTX570 and Corsair AX750 issue

    I would like a relatively quiet system, I am not adverse to fan noise, but this screeching/buzzing is too much. As far as decibel ranges I am unsure what mine is, but it is clearly audible. It is by no means quiet not like I have to get up and put my ear to the PSU to hear it, rather I sit...

    GTX570 and Corsair AX750 issue

    Well, I retested again tonight. Ran Prime95 while GTX570 was hooked up, loud noise coming from AX750. Took GTX570 out and used on-board graphics, ran Prime95, no sound coming from AX750. Put GTX570 back in and ran Prime95, loud noise reappears. I am certain it is coming from the power...
