X800XL Strange overclocking problem Hi everybody! I have overclocked my Radeon x800xl to 570 GPU and 570 MEM. Stock 400 GPU and 490 MEM Can't go higher due to artifact problem. The problem is that I ear a strange sound... it's sound like a hard drive or a cd/dvd-rom drive spinning and stopping... Sound like future trouble... Everything goes well except that I experience some sound difficulty went I play one specific game. (DOW) This strange sound only appear when I play game or benchmark, test whatever... I think it's my hard drive doing this because my power supply couldn't simply supply the power for it. I simply want to know where this might come from, don't say to lower the overclock, I won't touch it until I and sure where this thing come from. My config: PSU: Antec 380 power supply PRO: P4 3.2 OC to 3.86GHZ MEM:2 Gig ram OC Xms 2.3.3.5 GRA: Radeon all-in-wonder X800XL MO: Asus p4p800 Se HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 160 GIG 6 X 80 mm blue led fan 1 X 120 mm fan Zalman CNPS 9500 LED CPU cooler Zalman VF-900 Cu led cooler The more I think, this might be my PSU, but I wan your advice! Thx.

Another thing along the stethoscope line is to just take a tube of about 3/8" (Clear hose like a water cooling system has) and put it in your ear & move the front of the hose opening from place to place listening for the sound. You'll know when you find it because it will be really loud. I used to use this when I was trying to find out which lifter was going bad listening to engines... ![]()

It could very well be the fan on the video card spooling to max speed during graphics intensive apps. Use atitool or rivatuner to adjust fan speed to 100% and see if that is the noise you are hearing.
