Hi,
Linux:
When I do not load the ACPI processor module, there is no high pitch
noise. When I load the ACPI processor module (so I can utilize Turbo
Boost), Linux makes the system emit a high pitch noise.
Windows:
The same system, running Windows 7 does not emit any noise.
Is there something wrong with the ACPI processor module or its
implementation on i5/i7 CPUs?
May not be anything "wrong", but some systems do have an issue with the
voltage regulator circuitry where it can make noise with certain
combinations of power draw and wakeup rates (causing rapid current draw
fluctuations) where some of the components can resonate and make noise.
What does powertop report for this system? It might show some useful info.
