HP w2448hc high pitch sound solution

Hi People,

I gotta admit that i almost give up with this annoting problem of mine however i manage to find the source and fix it. After upgrade my motherboard, cpu and RAM trio there is a annoying high pitch sound from my computers Creative speakers. First i thought it is related with my Creative Sound card and tried so hard to change drivers and stuff and yet no solution :( Then i swap my sound card with built-in Realtek sound card and that moment i realized this isn't related with sound card itself cause that high pitch noise came back.

I thought it caused by bad electricity connections or bad grounding. Grounding was alright even though i changed power cables and sort out cable mess to see if there is any interference between cables and stuff.

Last week i realize something very weird, the high pitch sound occurs only my HP w2448hc is on. Finally i narrowed down the root of my problem to monitor itself. I unplugged my speaker and wait for hours to see if it occurs again and it occurred :)

This is it, my monitor is the source of that awful sound that drives me crazy. But how is that happened? as far as i know monitor doesn't have and speakers, it might be a bad component or something then search for my monitor model and realize my monitor has built in speaker and it uses HDMI cable :)

Ok, here is the solution, just hit the menu button on  your monito and go management, in management manu there is a volume menu, just adjust volume level to 0 and also select source as PC analog, and your problem will disappear forever.

I hope you find it useful.

Cheers

Sabertooth P67+ i5 2500+ Corsair Vengeance

Hi Folks,

Yes, i can admit it's been a while. I was so busy to focus my blog page and to be honest i was cheating on with Twitter. Anyway this post is about my new computer, there are not much challenges to share with you however there are some interoperability issues maybe you're interested.

I got my new Asus Sabertooth P67 motherboard as a start it has TUF design and certified with military standards :) Yeah i know it seems a lot but you know this is my only addiction :)

Well to be honest i would like to put an i7 in the heart of this capable motherboard however Intel i7 2600 series are so expensive these days, maybe in future :( So i put Intel i5 2500 (yeah not 2500K, you know i dun like O/C stuff)

Last thing is the RAM selection, it is a very important decision, i have done some stupid selection with previous OCZ sets. But this time i just hit the right spot with Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 2*4GB dual set. My new  RAMs and my mobo have been already tested and it is working without a problem.

I have 3 HDDs and 2 of them is SATA2 and the lastest one is SATA3, Sabertooth have 4 ports of SATA2 and 4 ports of SATA3 ports and they're also working properly from beginning.

Only problematic thing is my sound card which is Creative Audigy, it sounds some sort of metallic noise sometimes, i used to had this bad experience and it has been solved with a driver refresment, now i'm trying to fix it.

Some hardware info regarding CPU temp. with stock fan which is 33-35 C in idle, 45-50 C normal gaming, 75-80 C under very heavy load (torture mode) like benchmark programs. It's quite enough.

So what happened to left overs of Mayhem? :) Well i'm planning another project for it, i will share the details with you guys soon.

Cheers
