    Hey guys,
    when i'm in a silence i can hear sort of digital soundcard noise coming out from my notebook even with sounds trurned of. the noice reacts on on what i do... e.i. switching between the windows etc. Do you have any simmilar experience?

    also, what's your temperature and fan speed?

    thanks

    Mario

    A lot of switching coils using to do power conversions inside your laptop could produce slight noise when power load starts to vary (i.e. you do some interactive activity etc).
    This is totally normal, as long as it not too loud (generally should be noticeable only in the total silence).

    that is associated with the CPU power management circuitry.
