I still listen to the noises. The cpu makes a unique whine when I highlight text.

Does it have the spacebar heating feature too?

Lol, this isn't part of my workflow! I just happened to notice it one day and was intrigued.

I actually do remember an experience much like yours.

20+ years ago when PC CPUs didn’t properly idle when they had no work to do, there was a program called rain that would issue the correct idle commands or something. It lowered temps!

But when this program was running, moving my mouse would make a slight hum or buzz. That one probably took a bit to figure out.

How could it distinguish between selecting text and other tasks?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I have no idea. It was just something I noticed. If I were to guess, it's just some odd combination of dust, resistance, and the architecture of the cores that causes a hundred little things to mesh together into a whine.

Does it also happen under load?

Through the boop boop

I could play music with my graphics card by moving the FPS cap slider... Coil whine is nuts.
