Recently I noticed a buzzing sound coming from my motherboard, especially when scrolling the mouse. It disappears during gameplay but occurs while using the paper cone trick. I traced it to an area near the CPU. Is this normal or could another part be causing the noise? Can motherboards actually produce such a buzz? MOBO is AsRock B450 Steel Legend if that gives you some insight.

Ensure your motherboard operates quietly. Is the noise limited to scrolling actions? Would you like to share a video or clip of the sound?

It seems you're asking about the location of the CPU area relative to your AIO pump. The information suggests it's near the right side of your setup, close to the pump.

I understand the situation. There are many parts near the CPU, which means there could be a precise spot. Have you explored other ways to trigger the sound? Did you switch to a different mouse?

Used a generic mouse model, sound remained. Adjusted polling rate but issue persisted. Upon replay, it appears positioned near the capacitor close to the bottom right bracket on my pump. Played Witcher 3 uncapped to check for GPU coil whine, no improvement. Problem occurs specifically during scrolling.

I’m really uncertain about this. Maybe another person can help clarify things for you. I’ve never come across anything like this before.

It's odd, hasn't I heard such issues before? Probably won't damage your PC, but if it bothers you, you can reset the board anytime.

It's strange, maybe I'll grab a new PC when my returns arrive. Anyway, thanks! Cheers!
