I bought an Intel engineering sample CPU to play with it. It's basically a beta chip they send to motherboard makers. When I enable the E cores it chirps and whistles like a bird, not like the annoying coil whine from a GPU. I think this must be caused by a different phenomenon, but I'm not sure.
- whyoh 4y agoI really doubt it's coming from the CPU. Most likely from the motherboard, near the CPU area. Many motherboards have coil whine nowadays, especially when power saving features (like C-states) are enabled.
- irthomasthomas 4y agoYou may be right. It's hard to isolate, but it's definitely near the CPU. It's not the E cores, like I thought as it does it with them disabled. I just haven't heard a similar coil whine noise before.
