Hello folks,
After a very long time, I've been working on my retro PC again. Now I'm very happy with my setup. The K6-II 450 runs like a charm on my Asus P55T2P4 at 500MHz/2.2V and with my Voodoo 2 it archives up to 2000 points in 3dmark 99.
But since I have been running the K6-III on the motherboard, there are strange whining- and crackling noises from the VRM/CPU area and it depends on the CPU load. Does anyone know the reason for the noises and whether this can be caused by faulty capacitors or other components. The capacitors are not bloated and everything around the VRM and CPU looks fine. The system itself is stable but the noises are terrible!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards
JF
