Gigabyte G1.Guerrilla Failure?
« on: November 07, 2016, 10:17:51 am »
Mainly whilst in games, I can hear what i can only discribe as similar to the sound of a hard drive loading, and at the same time I can also hear ticking/clicking sound every now and then.
I don't have a HDD, just an SSD, so this couldnt have been the sound from that. However, i replaced the SSD anyway. but the system is still making noise. I then thought it was the PSU, so i purchased a new one. Still, the noise continues. I thought maybe it's my graphics card, even though thats brand new. So i took that out, ran the system on onboard graphics, started up the pc and it's still making that sound. I also removed all the case fans, the sound still happens. I'm certain it's coming from the motherboard.

I'm at a complete loss about this. I have contacted gigabyte support, they told me to disconnect my hdd, i told them i do not have one and only have an ssd, they then replied again telling me to disconnect my hdd. So i thought ok i'll entertain you. so i disconnected my ssd and the sound continues even on booting. I told them this, they then replied asking me to disconnect everything including the .... you guessed it... hdd.... which i told them i don't have. I did this, still the sound continues.

So, i sent them a sound clip of the noise. Their reply? "we cannot hear any clicking/ticking or loading sounds, try disconnecting your hdd"...... at that point my brain was going to expload, so i thought i'd ask on here.

Please post clip of the sound.

Please use a tube from an empty paper towel roll to isolate and identify the exact source of the sound.

Hi,
Pretty difficult to determine what it is.  Your vid is like traffic sound and asking from what location??   :(

We have to rely on what you can provide since we aren't there to see/hear it for ourselves. 

Use the paper towel roll as I suggested, you'd be surprised how effective it is helping to pinpoint a sound/problem.

Its not coming from your speakers, right??

Ok I was get a clicking noise there day. Mine has to do with the sata ports and the cables. I swap out the cable on one of the drives and it stop. I'm not saying that it could be it, but something to try.
