How can I solve the noise problem with an ASUS A8NE board?

This fan is a big problem alright. I got the A8NE-Premium just so I wouldn't have to deal with that fan (has a heatpipe instead). I heard ASUS has been good about replacing the fan with a supposedly improved model. Call and tell them that it failed and you would like another one. If that still is annoying there are some third party cooling solutions...or sell your A8NE on ebay and get the sli-premium! It is a pricey one however.\nThis forum discussed the problem in some detail:\nhttp://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=29&threadid=1800554

I had the same problem with my old crt monitor, the monitor itself was making the noise. I lowered the resolution of the monitor : Right click on desktop > properties>\nand it went away.

some laptops share the total ram with the video memory so maybe your laptop total has 512 ram but now is 448 because it share the other memory with the video card. and i don't think that the fan noise is related with this. hope will be useful, try  to enter to the configuration menu when the laptop is starting and look for the fact that i told you

The extra fans will add to the noise.  So will the extra processors, and extra drives.\n\nPlus, servers are usually working a lot harder than your average workstation, so you will hear drives spinning up more often (and the fans running to compensate for them.

You'll have to puchase a video card (AGP or PCI, depending on your motherboard), install this and disable the onboard video in BIOS.

Go to Control Panel then to the sound section. Mess around with it. Also look in the same section and make sure your mic isn't on mute.

Are you using amplfied speakers? You'll need those to get any type of sound from the mobo. Unamplified speakers will not do. You can get a nice 3.1 set at Circuit City for about $20.

You need to rephrase the question - what are you trying to do?? Manufacture? Fix? \n\nSounds like a faulty soundcard problem, but forgive me if I am wrong. To sort out sound card you will need the software for the soundcard - identify the sound card - download the software - install - done.

If you have a motherboard with onboard sound that could be the culprit.

i used to get buzzing noises... they were either from my old 256MB graphics card (2 years old)...or it was my CPU fan... I used to lubricate the fans to shut it up...had to do that every month...

The front panel audio header on this motherboard is just below the rear audio jacks. Look for AUDIO1 or PANEL1, depending on the board revision, 2/3 of the way down the board near the back.\n\nYou can download a manual for the latest revision from:\nhttp://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?DetailID=436&DetailName=Manual&DetailDesc=P4VMM2(8.1)&MenuID=35&LanID=0

mains noise? open the case and see if it is the processor fan... else the power supply (PSU the metal box)\n\nNb: the fan is an essential componant (it must run) ... if you want to fit a quieter fan get someone compentent to do it as you can crack the motherboard if you do it wrong!!!!\n\nquiet PSUs can be bought but might be cheaper to buy a modern case and a more recent PSU if it has theright plug for your motherboard\n\n( a funny answer would ...it doesn't know the words)

ok first it isnt anything to fo with the tower, its to do with the berring in your fan , replace your fans with ultra quiet ones it will change the noize level

Hold F2 while turning on your computer. This will allow you to enter bios settings, you can cancel both sounds and the animation there, or you can turn the volume lower. I have a Vaio VGN-A130 and it works that way.

From the limited info you provide, I would suggest you install the drivers, if your mobo already has integrated sound, you will need to disable it in bios before an installed snd crd will function properly....hope this helps

Sounds like a problem on the motherboard, but it's hard to tell. It could also be one of the voltages from the power supply is missing. Power supplies are usually $40 to $75 bucks if you want to give it a try. You're better off taking it to an expert, though.

If you access your computer's BIOS, you can disable the onboard sound.  You get to the BIOS by pressing a key when your computer first starts - usually either the del key or one of the F-keys, look for a message that says "Press <something> to enter BIOS Setup".\n\nAlternatively, if you get a sound card, installing that will automatically override your computer's onboard sound.
