Actually more searching on the net suggest "Capacitor Buzz"? Its ridiculous, and coincidentally all these Q6600's also have the same mobo. Unbearable. jlc From: N Parr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 12:27 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Noisey Quad Core Q6600 Sounds like a normal variable speed cooling fan changing under load to me. _____ From: Joseph L.

Drag a window, move a file, or what ever and the CPU buzzes? WTF? Its loud and annoying! Anyone know how to cure this?
