Overclocking makes my metal cutting sound a lot louder!
Overclocking makes my metal cutting sound a lot louder!
Hi, that loud metal cutting noise from your CPU/RAM area on a Ryzen 3 1200 with an Aorus Elite motherboard looks like it's coming from the power supply or the RAM sticks. You said you ran at 4.0 GHz and 1.937 volts for a while without crashing, but then suddenly started hearing that loud click during heavy use. The fans aren't making noise either. Nothing is smoking or burning. Your parts are new, maybe two weeks old, so they should be fine. I'm not sure why the sound happens just under load, but you're worried about damaging your motherboard because your PC still works fine and doesn't shut down on its own. Could that voltage level actually hurt my board? I've checked everything else too and can't find any online help for this specific noise.
Hello, metal ripping noises coming from near the CPU/CPU socket. Check your cooler fan for hitting its shroud or try a different one. I ran a 4.0 GHz CPU benchmark and got a great score, but then... loud metal cutting sounds started. If you use less than 1.40 volts instead of that high voltage, it stops the noise. It might be better to avoid overclocking until you see how others have done it successfully.
Hey guys, is the metal cutting noise coming from near your CPU? Maybe your fan is hitting the shroud of the cooler. Try a different one. I set my voltage to 1.45 and clock to 4.0. I did the CPU benchmark and got a huge score, but then... that loud metal crunch started again. It gets worse if you go below 1.40V. If you can fix that noise, better yet, don't try overclocking until you see how others have done it successfully.
