CPU Heat Warning Tone: Where is it coming from? (I5 750 & Asus P7P55D)
I've been playing with overclocking my Intel i5 750 on a Asus P7P55D Pro. At one point today I was running temps up around 63c while running Prime and I started to hear a constant, piercing tone, like some kind of warning.
It was not coming from the system audio because it continued when I turned off the speakers.
When I killed the Prime test and temps went down, it stopped.
While doing this test, I was also running Speedfan and Core Temp.
Does this Mobo have a warning tone? I can't find anything about it in BIOS. I also checked Speedfan and Core Temp and I don't see anything in their settings about a warning tone. I see a warning pop-up option in Core Temp, and a shutdown option, but nothing about a noise.
If it was coming from a program like Core Temp, wouldn't it come through the system audio?
That's why I was thinking the board itself had a warning?
Anyone know where the noise is coming from? 63c isn't really hot enough for a warning is it?
