Re: Varying load electrical noises from PSU, what part makes the noise?

Yeah, I had hoped not, but it does sound a bit like transformer noise. I'll endeavour to solve the issue. I guess I will just have to spend another £150 on a new one for the third time I guess....

Re: Shrinking Intel LGA775 heatsink sizes

It's true about motherboard temps. They're what you should focus on. It's no good having your CPU at 25 centigrade if the cost is motherboard 45 centigrade, where with stock you have 45:35 which is...
