Well, that's definitely not current. Because NO CURRENT GOES THROUGH THAT CABLE. It's just digital/analog signals to the monitor. I bet you're missing something really obvious here...is your CD ROM drive spinning a lot? Hard drive?

what the hell do you think a digital/analog signal is?

I CAN HAS ELECTRONS?

LOLTRONS

Maybe the Loltrons are backing up before the dampers and causing cavitation. I suggest either a higher pressure rated cord or reducing the flow velocity, coupled with a release valve. If it keeps up, you might want to have the entire system flushed.

This is actually a somewhat common occurrence, but most people don't know about it. When the frequency of your home's AC is an exact multiple of your GPUs frequency, the two can interact in an unstable manner.

If you want to keep your GPU clocked the same, then you're going to need to get some kind of shock absorbance system. Some people use RC car shocks such as this. It doesn't really matter how you attach it, but one end needs to be attached to your case, the other needs to be attached to the wire. The shock will absorb most of the vibration.

Right now, it looks like the frequencies might be slightly off or not staying exactly equal for long periods of time (AC frequency typically varies a bit), but if the two are in multples for a good period of time, it can actually cause harm to your entire system (voltage spikes, etc).

Good luck.

No, he is obviously missing a Type-R decal.

Oldschool!

Depending on your manufacturer of PC or power supply, you might be entitled to a new one. I know with Dell, where I work, it is considered a "safety capture" issue and we will replace the power supply even out of warranty.

Its probably because you are wearing aloe infused socks, which has now made your feet ultra sensitive to any slight vibrations emanating from the floor level.

Another hit of acid and those little cables will be dancing all over your room.

calm down man...I feel you pain.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Wow, just wow.

Op you say you have yet to start college, I don't know if I would if I were you. I might just goto janitorial school instead, or maybe garbage man trade school.

 

[Krazy4Real]

update?

 

[dbk]

You are the one.

WHY would you make a comment about something you have absolutely no idea how it works? WHY? where did you learn....man ... ok ... we live in a digital world and I suggest you read a book or 2 about this.

My comptuer does hum, but only these cables are vibrating. Why shouldn't the network cable vibrate? Or is it that only these two cables vibrate because of their thickness?

so your computer is giving you a hummer? i'd never would thought of using my computer to do that. did you put a wig on the monitor for more realism?

 

[Jessica69]

Psssst...... it's just that the magic smoke is escaping from your computer through the cables.......turn your computer off quick before it all escapes and your pc quits working!

Please don't listen to things like this. When I was in high school before I moved here, I knew the bare minimum about computers, in fact I don't think I would of known what a PS was. On top of all this I didn't even know English... none of that stopped me from getting a dual degree in EE/CpE in 4.5years with a respectable GPA !
It is not nice putting people down like this !

sorry had to put it in my sig

True but I am in awe at this. Maybe college will help him get edjumacated

wow. Ummm. <slowly backs out of thread>

we have alternator sized bulk meat, mice in ACs, now the vibrating-cable-full-of-electrons?

O RLY? How's bout I tell ya I'm in the top (4.~%) of my class, and that's with slacking off. If I change two B's to As, I would be rank 1. But that's just academics...
