Noise emanating from the CPU section.
I need to verify the origin of the sound since I don’t want to invest in a new Mobo and maintain the issue. The uncertainty remains because the noise isn’t coming from chokes. I’m fairly confident about it. I recorded the noise levels and the peak occurred at the heatsink base.
The issue emerged once the cooler was installed and the core performance boost was turned off. It wasn't there before those changes.
