 I Click Home To Much  Rep Power: 40  | Re: Whining computer.! it's propably the fan on the 8800GT.. it's not like a fan sound.. but just a noise.. turn the Fan down.. using something like Rivatuner.. but be careful not to mess with settings with that program..those 8800GT's are very loud Fans.. I'd replace the entire fan on it.. thats if it's the problem of course. but it probably is |

 Antidisestablishmentarian    Rep Power: 106 | Re: Whining computer.! Or, it could be a massive power draw stressing out the PSU, and thus it's fan is not running correctly, or it could b any of the other fans.... what kind and wattage is your PSU? |

| Antidisestablishmentarian Rep Power: 106 | Re: Whining computer.! 550W *should* be sufficient for that GPU - but it depends on your other specs as well. I used a 500W on an older MSI mobo with a P4 3.2 GHz CPU, 3 GB RAM, and an ATI x1650 Pro video card - it died in like 6 months. |
