Hello all,
I completed a new comp build with the following components:
Fractal R4 white
i5 4670k
Dark rock Pro 2 cpu cooler
Maximus VI Hero motherboard
Asus gtx770 DCII gpu
120 gb ssd and 1tb hdd
Seasonic g750 psu
Ballistic 16gb ram
Asus MX239H monitor
First I had a msi z87-g45 mobo, but since this did not work out great I decided to go with the asus mobo, and I am not disapointed of the quality, much better then the msi one. I completed my build yesterday evening and didnt had time to install windows yet, but two things I noticed:
1. Led from power button goes on and then blinks and goes off, but everything starts up fine. Maybe loose connection ill check that to be sure when I get home.
2. When the mobo is turned of the red light keep on, this is normal I read on forums. U can only have the option always on or always off. But what bothers me is the fact that when I turn the pc off, I get a high pitched whine. One thing that I did not had when I had the msi mobo. So I am thinking it must be the mobo. Is this something that has to do with powering the red leds that stay on? When I turn my psu switch off the whining goes away, and when I switched the psu on this morning the lights stayed off and no whine at that moment.
Since I just got it yesterday I can switch the mobo for a new one easily, just need to know if this might be a faulty mobo or not. I note, just to be sure, that I did not install windows yet, well I do have it isntalled but need to reinstall for the new mobo. But I havent went into windows yet just into the bios mode. Since I did not had time yesterday evening to reinstall all. When I get home I do want to start finsihing the install, but just to be sure I post it on this forum. That what it is here for after all right :). Before I waste any time if this turns out the be a faulty bord.
This is a quick post from my work so I am sorry if I left any info out or mistyped some stuff.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

Can you pinpoint exactly where the whine is coming from?

But come onnnnnn....my psu is making the damn sound, it also there when having everything powered on. Not that present that you can hear it really good when its standing at like 1 feet away, but annyoing and especially when room is quieter than now since were cooking to :P, and when its turned off it still makes the sound.

But the other strange thing is..my power led light on the fractal r4 case keeps blinking. It starts up all red like it is supposed to be, and after a second or 3 its start blinking and never comes back fully on. I get the code A0 so mobo does see everything like it is supposed to......Atleast as far as my knowledge goes at the moment.

It is connected to the mobo with that thingy where you plug all the stuff in, no idea how to call that thing, all in one connector seems right haha :P.
