Hardware & Technical Odd Buzz From Internal Speaker...

[CMDR Cosmic Spacehead]

Hey all,
Been chugging away at Elite and Horotfor a few months, with no major issues (except the odd CTD, of bug).
But randomly today, every few minutes, my internal PC speaker keeps making a kinda of short "BRRR" noise, it's hard to explain.
It seems I thought it was during high loads, like near stations, or on planets, but it does it while staring it to space too. Very odd.
Anyhoo.

I'm gonna do some temperature tests on everything lager.
But the only real change to my PC is I've removed Kaspersky, be ausr it seems to hate windows 10, to attempt to install bitdefender, which doesn't work either.
(Anyone have a good suggestion for AV for windows 10?)

My driver's are all up to date, and BIOS.
My cooling in my PC isn't great, so it could be that, but I use a very old case, with just 1 fan slot. Lol
But I'm under strict instructions not to upgrade my case from my girlfriend (she thinks it's a waste, games are a waste, and I should just use and iPad! Ahhh!)
So I may just botch any other couple of fans in there to help. But saying that,my flat currently seems to be perpetually stuck at 11°C, regardless of the heating. Lol

any ideas?

GPU coil whine

Hard Drive failure

Bad bearings in fans

ditch the women, upgrade pc?

1&3)It's coming from the internal speaker.
2)My hard drive is actually incredibly quiet, and quite new (doesn't mean much sometimes though!)

ditch the women, upgrade pc?

Tempting!

Just ran Open Hardware Monitor, and my CPU is idling at about 13°C - 20°C today.
That's an AMD FX-8320, stock speeds, with artic cooler freezer pro on it.

My GPU idles at 40C, and that's an AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB. Pretty old, but still does its job.

Other than that, I only have 1 120mm PWM fan in the rear.

Just gonna run ED:H now and leave it in the dock and check how toasty my PC gets. Lol

May I suggest you avoid these anti-virus programs? They use up a load of resources and protect against possibilities so remove they are hardly worth worrying about. The one supplied by M$ is just as good. W10 is very secure. Make sure your firewall is up of course and run Ccleaner plus Windows Defender every week. Unless you or anyone else, (young boys especially) browse into      sites there really isn't a lot of risk.

The intermittent buzzing frankly sounds like a dodgy capacitor. Unless it's really getting on your nerves may I suggest you ignore since the cost of locating and replacing it will be enormous.

Cooling is, needless to say, vital. If you can't afford to buy better coolers right now, try running the machine with the side panel off for a while.

Decent fans are not expensive. Best to install them to suck the air out and make sure your input area is well filtered. On my machine, I have one input, a 200mm fan with ample filtering and the rest are outputs. Same result, different approach.

But filters are vital.

I may just ditch the AV, Kaspersky just complained about updates all the time, saying it couldn't connect, AVG decided everything was a virus, including games from 1999 on a CD. Lol
I have malware bytes, CCleaner, and windows built-in stuff. Probably enough, and no kids!

Hmm, possibly a glitch due to either windows being windows, or the half baked installation of both Kaspersky and bitdefender...
I just whacked up the graphics on ED:H to absolute maximum that I can currently get them to go. (Not much higher than I have then normally)
I still get a cosy 55FPS in space, around 40FPS on an empty planet, and the usually rubbish 20-30FPS in a dock, or landed at an installation.
The temperature of my CPU never went above 59.3°C.. Which is all good.
And my GPU never went above 77°C.
I assume that's OK, I think the maxiyis 90+°C for my GPU.

And no buzzing. I think I'll just chock that up to a glitch.

.

Probably fine.

Most manufacturers will list these specs. I've just checked mine by entering Max Temp GTX 760 and discovered GEForce recommends 97 °C. IT is generally recommended to give yourself a leeway of about 20 °C.

Similar for your CPU. Google the terms and see what they say.

If you want to keep an eye on things you might think of installing a monitor. I use this one, it's free and doesn't use a lot of resources. http://openhardwaremonitor.org/

But not essential. You seem to have a handle on things.

Really pleased the buzzing has been sorted out.
