^ agreed it's prolly one way to ensure a short pc life by constantly loading a low power PSU, Bastards :( | |

pc manufactures such as time, emachines, advent, some others aswell, purposly put in low-powered PSU's so they dont last as long & then you end up buying yet another PC in probs around 2 years time, its how they keep you coming back. | |

Fitted a dual-fan 450W PSU and PC is much better! voltages are stable and noise has gone! | |

It sucks air thru the heatsink and out, so you should be able to feel it with the side off. | |

well swapped it over and fan speed was oscillating A LOT, and temp was going up rapidly so i switched it off and put it back. :lol: | |

The fan should be blowing over the heatsink btw. You might feel a bit of air being sucked in but it should defo be blowing at the heatsink. | |

might sound dumb, but will a new PSU do the trick? | |

the high pitched sound your hearing are probably the smoothing capacitors going faulty in the switch mode power supply mate :) | |

Have had a real bad problem for ages with PC, under load, the CPU has a really really high pitched sound that gives me a migraine after 5 minutes. I think the problem is the PSU, since it says 250W max on it. System is AMD Athlon 2200XP with 512MB ram and Geforce 4 Ti4800. Its no way near powerful enough is it :boggle: also, should the CPU fan over the heatsink blow air at my hand with case off, or should it be blowing over the CPU? |
