I think it may well be coming from your PSU as that normall has relays in and that could well be what you are hearing click. Try getting a cardboard tube or something similar and put it to your ear. It will enable you to hear more accurately where the noise is coming from.

Post by: Dark Mantis on May 05, 2011, 02:17:18 pm: You didn't answer my question though. What part of the motherboard is the noise coming from ?

Have you tried disabling the power savings modes ?

Post by: Xulos on May 05, 2011, 02:40:55 pm: I disabled all power saving features. C1,eist etc...if you think on that? I cannot locate direct source of the sound :/

Post by: Dark Mantis on May 05, 2011, 02:44:54 pm: Yes that's right and C3/C6 as well

Do as I suggested earlier with a bit of cardboard tube or a drinking straw etc to locate the noise source.
