I've currently got an E6300 on a DS3.
I'm getting quite poor temps with my E6300 which I believe being due to the heatspreader not being flat. I'll be fixing this later in the week when I lap it and the HSF.
Anyway, I keep getting a high pitch beep when playing Battlefield 2142. It's not coming from the case speaker as I've disconnected this.
My core temps are around 51-53C when playing, so I don't think it's that. And also, it only occurs when the game (ie the graphical engine) is playing. If I press escape and go to the menu within the game the beep goes away.
I can't figure out what it is. Is it the Core Duo getting too hot? Lack of power to the graphics card maybe? (It's a Tagan 530W that I've got). One of the chipsets getting too hot? (I've got a 40mm over the Northbridge, which is hot but not burning hot).
I've never come across such a beep. It's just constant and high pitch. Was just wondering if someone could help me understand what it is, and why.
Thanks.
