hi

ive just built a new system which seems to run fine apart from a ticking noise. Im finding this noise alarming as it is quite loud, it seems to be coming from the CPU or a nearby motherboard component. Any suggestions would be much apprecaited.

asus A7N8X-E deluxe
amd 3200
corsair cmx256
coolermaster aero7+
zalman 400w
samsung sata 80gb
radeon 9600xt
 
Nice setup! - You sure its near the cpu and that? seems not right at all! Maybe its your hard drive? My grandmothers computer i rigged up, her hard drive screams like hell on some days.
 
its definately coming from somewhere near the cpu, ive put my head right in the case and had a good listen. Its a loud noise so i turn the system off straight away, a couple of times its frozen during shut down. I can only think of trying to change components around with my old system to try and determine whos responsible for the noise.
 
if its around that area its proberly the fan or motherboard, unlikelyto be ram or cpu. Yeh change some components around and tell us if you solved it :D
