BTW, this happens in both gentoo and windows xp for me.
Same here. The sound is loudest when running the "Mother Nature" test
of 3DMark 03. Happening with every card I ever tried (an old Radeon
9800, an X1950XT and my current HD4870). Could be the graphics cards
then. But it would be interesting to know why this is happening.
Google for "coil whine" or "coil noise" and see if it applies to your
case. I had one Abit motherboard replaced because the noise it did was
really unbearable, although hearing it change pitch depending on what
you were doing was kind of cool.
I will investigate now I know what I can search for, and yes the pitch
change was interesting. I once played a game for an hour before I notice
d the sound was interference and not dark, moody music :D
Thanks
