Folding@home creates a low frequency sound

[WuZhao]

After installing the program today i noticed that the program creates a low frequency sound from the computer.

I did not notice it myself untill my friend asked me a few mins later
"Do you also hear a low frequency sound from your computer ?"
(He has been running it for some week now, and i just like 1 Hr)

And yes i can hear it to now, it is extreemly low so i did not notice it untill he told me it was there.
Now i can hear it continuesly when i know it is there.

After changin the settings in Configure - Advanced - CPU Usage Percent to ~80 the sound dissapeared.

We both uses the NVIDIA NX8800GT 1Gb Grafic card

It is greatly discussed here:

It's a hardware issue pertaining to the quality of capacitors.


Nice of you to join this forum, for Nvidia issues please post under the Nvidia-specific forum under GPU clients. Thanks.
