    Run RMClock, turn off popup and popdown and undervolt your processor while you're at it :)

    Using VISTA there is an easy and bulletproof solution for CPU whine without any additional tools.
    1) Control Panel
    2) Power Options
    3) Change plan settings (of the plan you are using of course
    4) Change advanced power settings
    5) Processor Power Management
    6) Minimum Processor State
    On Battery just put: 100 %

    When you push 'Apply' the noise is immediately gone...

    Have a nice and silent day !
