Motherboards and CPUs without annoying whine
Posted: Wed Feb 06, 2013 10:23 pm
I wrote a similar thread in the GPU section, but I figured I should ask for some advice here as well. I am planning on doing a complete upgrade of my old Core 2 silent system. I am gonna keep my fanless PSU if it can handle new hardware, my passive CPU cooler, and my SSD disks, but I am gonna get a new motherboard, CPU, RAM and video card.
Now, since my system is totally quiet except for two super silent fans that I cant even hear from a meter a way, stuff like coil whine gets really noticeable. And its also the type of noise that really gets on my nerves... much more than any low fan hum.
So... whats new in the computer world? Does new motherboards and CPUs also whine just like many modern video cards seem to do?
My old ASUS P5LD2-SE and Core 2 Duo doesnt seem to make any noise at all that I can hear, and definitely no high pitched whine. What about modern stuff? When googling some people do seem to complain about motherboard noises... so... anyone know what I should / should not get if I want to keep my system whine-less?
