Hey does anyone else's 8790 make a slight BUZZING noise? My friend got one and it was really bugging the both of us... It seems to be coming from underneath the keyboard (obviously from one of the components on the motherboard)... And yes we muted mic,aux,phone,line-in... 'Preciate the feedback.

www.google.com, search the word "jizzing" and you will see why I, for one, found it funny. As far as the noise, I assume its a rattling sound? On my 8890 right under the keyboard there is a small fan that pushes air over the ram, maybe its similar on the 8790? It could be loose or something.

no it sounds like an electronic jizzing... sound fluctuates depending on processor usage (and no it's not the fan spinning up or down)... anyone who has a 8790 and good hearing please listen to yours and see if it does the same

Well, the only sound I hear (and this is with my ear to the palmrest -- yes it's making my ear warm) when there are no fans going is the tick-tick-tick of the harddrive directly below the right palm area.

Is that what you're talking about?

Other than that, this puppy is silent when the temp is in the low 40s...

Do you mean through the headphone jack? If so then I can hear this also - when you scroll through a webpage or rapidly move a window around the screen...

it is the interference from the Video Card AFAIK..

yeh jizzing isn't a computer term I know... the closest think I know to that term is what some call the white stuff that the male populace emits on completion of sertain state... so please call it a funny sound.... geeze...
anyways maybe if you could make an mp3 of the sound and post it, so that there is more reference to go by.....

well it would be difficult to record the sound becuase it's fairly high frequency and not loud enough for my 5 dollar microphones to pick up... And Kesh, the sounds is a jizzing sound so there's no other way I can describe it (so get your mind out of the gutter ). no one else has this problem???

Did you miss my post and gsminardi's post about 2 messages up?

... funny that you would choose only to respond to the least on-topic message but hey, that's your perogative!

I know you're trying to describe the sound but if you do a Google search on that word you will see why people are having a hard time taking it seriously.

Hheheheh - he said high ..... anyway Is it a sound like you might get from say a pezzo. If so I might know the sound, my 5680 does have a very very slight zzzzzzzzzz sound which seems to be more prevalant when the graphics card is under heavy use.

I think i hear the same thing, i'm pretty sure that its the hard drive, cuz for me, the only time it comes on is when the hard drive light flickers on and off, but this is in addition to the normal hard drive noise.

Open up your Hard Drive compartment and look inside. You will see that the Audio Ports are just a few mm away from the hard Drive...bad design

There's a possibility that some aluminum foil in between the HDD and the Audio Ports can eliminate the sound by carrying away the EMI/EMF/RF interference as eddy currents...but this can only be proved by testing

Hello,

on my 8890, i put IR serial Port disabled in Bios and no bip now in my headphones.
I think it is detection cycle on IR port that causes this, the audio chipset may be too close
