Sure the tickings coming from your cpu? Could be your speakers picking up something?

the noise as far as im aware is not a symptom of a problem as my comps been runnin fine with it foir a year and i could be wrong but im fairly sure it is caused by something in the cpu power circuitry typically noticable when you suddenly increase the load to full ,also if i remember rightly a lot of dell laptops had a similar thing where they made noises when scrolling webpages and graphins etc and it was the cpu power bit that caused it (cant remember it ever being described as a fault tho?)

Rhythmic not my speakers mate I promise you

da_ging sounds about right to me. Bugger. I've got a mate with the same motherboard model and CPU who I can quiz at some point, though he's one of those "lets see how much we can make our PC sound like a 747" people, so he probably won't be able to hear anything

You might have a fly stuck behind your board or something which gets irritated when it gets hot?
