I have a weird squealing/beeping noise when I run PRIME95, a CPU intensive program.

Games SEEM to run fine as does everything else. The motherboard ran PRIME fine for about 40-50 minutes, i did not try for longer.

The noise seems to be coming from a choke on the motherboard (doughnut thing with copper wire coiled around it), or a capacitator.

My question is, should I rma the board? I also have a zalman cooler installed to reduce noise.

Thank you for your time.
 
Prime it for 24 hours, see what happens. Also, check the fans in your case and on the board...squealing usually implies that a moving part is involved.
