Good day everyone,
Everytime Ilaunch my pc, I get a weird noise that sounds like a F1 car (lol, really..) I dont know where it's coming from, but I guess its either the cpu or the power supply unit.
I have an amd 4800+ x2,mobo asus a8n-e, running on winxp pro power supply is an antec 480w
Thanks in advance..

Sounds like it's time to open that baby up and do some spring cleaning....only way to tell, but most likely it's a fan going bad, or off balance due to dust build up.

if noise goes away after a while than 1 of the fans needs lubrication.

As a matter of fact, you can use 100% vegetable, or corn oil (one drop) to lube that fan....it's non conductive...and you won't fry anything.
There have already been experiments where students have put the motherboard, cpu and vid cards in a vat of cooking oil, with no heatsinks attached, and they ran cooler than water cooling. Cooking oil is heat conductive, not electrical.

Fan bearings like non-detergent turbine oil (but not PC fans - they are disposable).
I know the sound, and if it disappears after a while it's a fan.
Buy brand new. I recommend Vantec Stealth, or Vantec Thermoflow (will speed up with heat).
Athlon64 x2 4800+? My cost is $765 bucks (Canadian) for that CPU.
Sure you don't have ten bucks for a new fan?
@Morph
Did you see that - the PC submerged in cooking oil!?
LoL, good lord...

skorpio81, it's your video board for sure?
You must buy aftermarket cooler w/fan, if you cannot replace actual original fan...
But trust me, don't fook around with your fans - make sure they are all new and clean.

Love that cooking oil, if it does overheat you could always use it as high tech deep fryer.
