High frequency noise ?

well, we're gonna need more info. can you take your side off and determine where it's coming from?

it's probably either a fan or a hard drive...try unplugging your fans one at a time (temporarily) and see if it goes away...be careful, though, if you unplug your cpu fan..only do that as a last resort, and if you do so only leave it unplugged for a few seconds...

same happen to me, but dunno what the heck it may be

Its the harddrive. I can shut that down when i'm sleeping. is there a way to shut off or slow down the CPU fan and chipset fan, while sleeping or while the computer is idling, my CPU fan is pretty loud.

 

[mindiris]

For a few second experiment, just stick something sturdy at the middle of the fan to slow and then stop the fan. If the noise in question suddenly decreases...

not really. sorry

Would my motherboard be fine, if I took off the fan on it ? i mean the fan on the chipset.

there was a thread about this a day or two ago. search for it. the consensus was that you COULD take the fan off, but it's not suggested.
