Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Edition Video Card Review

Legit Video Card Reviews

Welcome to the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Edition Video Card

Today we are going to be looking at an add-in-board partners version of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 video card that might be worth your hard earned money. The card we are looking at today is made by Gigabyte and has the GPU core clock and shaders factory overclocked, so you get an extra performance boost without having to get your hands dirty with overclocking utilities and software. The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC comes clocked at 830 MHz core, 1660 MHz shaders and 4008 MHz on the GDDR5 memory ICs. The NVIDIA reference design for the GeForce GTX 560 video card is 810 MHz core, 1620 MHz shaders and 4008 MHz memory. As you can see, Gigabyte left the memory clocks alone, but increased the core clock by 20MHz and the shader clock by 40MHz. This is a mild overclock when you step back and look at it, but Gigabyte isn't charging any extra for this overclock as it is their entry level NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 card design! In fact, this video card is the least expensive of the 14 GeForce GTX 560 video cards that are being sold right now on Newegg.com! So, how much is the card? The GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 560 OC GV-N56GOC-1GI video card is $169.99 after a $20 mail-in rebate!

Now we all know that Gigabyte is one of the leading motherboard manufacturers in the world, but did you know they were in the business of making video cards as well? Well... they are. But I guess the better question would be, do they make a good video card? That is what this article is for. Gigabyte was founded way back in 1986 in Taipei, Taiwan and back then they supplied motherboards to custom computer makers. But now, all these years later, all you have to do is pull the side panel off of a case and chances are you will see one of Gigabyte's products, whether it be a motherboard, video card, or even mice and keyboards.

The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Video Card features NVIDIA PhysX technology as well as NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround, 3D Vision and Pure Video HD, all of which make your movie watching, or better yet your gaming experience, a far more beautiful and immersive experience. Now, let's not forget SLI, because when you put two Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Video Cards together you get the ability to nearly double your video gaming pleasure. In these times of tight budgets most people's first question is, "How Much?" Well, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC (GV-N56GOC-1GI) Video Card will set you back $169.99 shipped. This also carries a 3 year warranty.

But the big star here today is the Windforce cooler on the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC (GV-N56GOC-1GI) Video Card. With two 100mm fans inclined toward each other it creates a kind of anti-turbulence that not only moves more air away and keeps your new video card nice and cool with 30.5 CFM of airflow from each fan, but it is also very quiet coming in at a mere 31 db at full speed, and full speed is 2000 RPM. Not too bad, if you ask me. You may very surprised by what we found when we tried to fry this card with a full load. I don't want to stop there, though, because there is much more to the Windforce cooler than its inclined fans and quiet operation. It also features four 6mm copper direct contact heat pipes to help dissipate that hot air that surrounds your Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC (GV-N56GOC-1GI) Video Card while it is trying to help you pwn n00b's. And if you are worried that the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC (GV-N56GOC-1GI) Video Card won't fit into your case, worry not as it weighs in at a little over 9 inches long and a little over 5 inches high, and it is a double slot width video card so the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Video Card will have very little problem fitting into most modern cases sold on the market today.

Gigabyte currently makes 4 versions of the GTX 560 Series GPU:

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC(GV-N56GOC-1GI)
830 MHz Core Clock/4008 MHz memory Clock at $169.99

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti SO (GV-N560SO-1GI-950)
950 MHz Core Clock/4580 MHz memory clock at $259.99

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti SO (GV-N560SO-1GI)
1000 MHz Core Clock/4580 MHz memory Clock at $259.99

• Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti OC (GV-N560OC-1GI)
900 MHz Core Clock/4000 MHz memory Clock at $296.65

Looks like Gigabyte has made sure there is a card for everyone's taste as well as their budget. As you can see, all of the video cards listed above are from the Ti series. At the time of this writing Gigabyte does not make any other non Ti card than the one we are looking at today. This is the part of the article where I tell all of you that we should take a look at the features and specifications of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC Video Card, and that we should quit wasting time and find out just how the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 OC (GV-N56GOC-1GI) Video Card performed in our battery of torture tests.

YouTube Adds Stereoscopic 3D Video Support (And 3D Vision Support, Too)

For those of you with a 3D TV or a 3D Vision kit, this will likely be of interest to you.

Today Google will be officially activating stereoscopic 3D video support on YouTube. Google has been experimenting with stereoscopic 3D support as early as 2 years ago, but the feature never left the dark depths of alpha testing. Since then Google has worked out the kinks in the system, and along with some new features in HTML5 is formally launching it today.

3D - The Coke Zero & Mentos Rocket Car In Its Native Side-By-Side Format

In the short term this won’t do much to resolve the dearth of 3D content – seeing as how a great deal of professional content is still locked behind various CE exclusivity deals – but with any luck it should make the sharing of such content easier than sending files back and forth as it currently stands.

Meanwhile how YouTube is going about this is interesting, since it’s not so straight forward. Ultimately YouTube is supporting 3.5 different ways of displaying 3D content, due to the lack of any de-facto method of receiving 3D content. For older DLPs, passive polarized TVs, and other “simultaneous image” systems, an interleaved mode is offered that can do row/column interleave along with checkerboard patterns. For more recent TVs that can accept side-by-side frame packing (both passive and active), side-by-side is being offered. For those of you with old-school anaglyph glasses, that’s also being supported in red/cyan, green/magenta, and blue/yellow combinations. All of this is offered through Adobe Flash.

Last, but certainly not least is the .5 and likely the most relevant for our discussion: HTML5 for computers. HTML5 still uses side-by-side, but it also includes a flag to tell the browser that it’s going to be playing back stereoscopic content. With knowledge of the flag, the browser can change the device's display settings on the fly rather than passing a “dumb” image on for the display to process. on paper it’s the most user friendly option, and no doubt Google’s favorite given their stake in HTML5. And since it’s based around HTML5, it’s using WebM rather than H.264 under Adobe Flash.

Given that HTML5 still isn’t complete though, YouTube’s HTML5 implementation is also easily the more experimental configuration. At this point of the browsers that support the WebM codec it only works under Firefox 4, and strangely not Google’s own browser. In turn only one 3D display system currently works with Firefox: NVIDIA's 3D Vision. This shouldn’t come as any surprise given NVIDIA’s continued investing in 3D Vision compatibility for games and applications, but for the moment NVIDIA has a first mover advantage with YouTube’s 3D stereoscopic support. Google expects additional software and hardware packages to support the format in the future, once they implement the appropriate parts of the HTML5 draft standard.

We should note that the fact that all of this is rather experimental shouldn’t fall on deaf ears. As it stands YouTube’s HTML5 stereoscopic 3D support basically combines all the glitches of the YouTube HTML5 player with all the glitches of windowed mode 3D Vision. Since Google started enabling the feature late last night we’ve only been able to get the stereoscopic 3D player to periodically work. No doubt Google and NVIDIA will continue to work out their respective bugs, but for the time being it’s definitely a work in progress and not as easy as it’s supposed to be.

Update: After chatting with NVIDIA, it turns out SLI + YouTube is a no-go. SLI must be disabled on a system level for this to work.

Finally, as far as quality is concerned it’s a mixed bag. Regardless of any differences between H.264 and WebM, YouTube isn’t doing full resolution 3D. As we noted before, everything is either interlaced or side-by-side frame-packed, so the effective resolution per eye is either one-half vertical or one-half horizontal depending on the method used. Active shutter based systems can display each image at full resolution – hence the reason we’re going to see NVIDIA tout their support for full HD 3D – but ultimately roughly half the lines are being interpolated. However the source being half-resolution is consistent with most other 3D offerings right now due to bandwidth and decoder limitations; Blu-Ray 3D is still the only widespread media that offers full HD 3D.

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card Review

Legit Video Card Reviews

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card Introduction

With the way the economy has been the past few years the vast majority of gamers are looking to save money yet maximize gaming performance at the same time. Last July NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 460 video card and not only did they release a powerful graphics card that was capable of running today's graphics intensive games, but they also released it for $199.99. In keeping with competitive pricing that is vital to this segment of the graphics market NVIDIA is ready to do it again with today's launch of the GeForce GTX 560. EVGA sent over their  GeForce GTX 560 Superclocked Graphics Card (01G-P3-1461-KR) for us to try out and that is what we'll be reviewing today against the AMD Radeon HD 6850 an Radeon HD 6870 graphics cards.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 SC (Fermi) GPU is based on the very same core as the NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) Video Card and comes fully equipped with 336 CUDA cores, 56 texture units and 32 ROPs. With the included 7 Polymorph Engines for proper tessellation you are now armed and ready to play some of the most advanced Direct 11 games on the market now and those in the very near future. Although it is very similar in every way to the GTX 460, instead of using the GF 104 core the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC (Fermi) Video Card makes use of the Fermi based GF 114 core that allows the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC (01G-P3-1461-KR) to obtain higher clock speeds while using less power overall. So not only will you be getting more performance, you will be getting
that performance for darn near the same amount of money a whole year
later.

Most of the gamers today, unlike the hardcore enthusiast crowd, are making use of older cards. A good measure of this statistic is that according to the latest Steam data the most widely used GPU is by far the 9800 GT and coming in a close second is the 8800 GT. But as we all know, more and more high definition displays are becoming the norm for our gaming rigs. But the big problem here is, GPU's like the 9800 GT Graphics Card are not capable of playing the latest games at the resolutions that these monitors support, nor do they support Direct X 11 for that matter. So most of these gamers are forced to use the low to medium in game settings that deprive them of the beautiful graphics that makes these games immersive and so very fun to play.

But with the release of a card like the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card (01G-P3-1461-KR) these gamers can actually afford to upgrade their systems and will be able to take advantage of the rich and detailed graphics that are provided by the very technologies that are built right into cards like the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Fermi Video Card (01G-P3-1461) such as Direct X 11, PhysX and, of course, 3D Vision. So ask yourself, "Wouldn't it be cool to play newer games like Crysis 2 or Eve Incarna or, even better yet, the new Alice: Madness returns they way they were meant to be played?" Which is in really high detail or even, for the hardcore gamer in all of us, in 3D. One of the things we will be doing a lot today is looking at the results of the game testing we did to put the EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card (01G-P3-1461-KR) through its paces. But it's not just the benchmarks that are important when it comes to a review or for buying a new GPU, I would have to think that during times like these price plays a huge factor in what we do and don't buy for our computers.

EVGA currently makes 6 different versions of the GTX 560 Series GPU:

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Maximum Graphics Edition Crysis 2
900 MHz Core Clock/4212 MHz memory clock at $269.99

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Superclocked
  
900 MHz Core Clock/4212 MHz memory Clock at $262.15

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti DS Superclocked
  
900 MHz Core Clock/4212 MHz memory Clock at $249.99

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
  
822MHz Core Clock/4000 MHz memory Clock at $249.99

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB
  
850MHz Core Clock/4104 MHz memory Clock at $239.49

• EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Superclocked
  
850MHz Core Clock/4104 MHz memory Clock at $209.99

With its core clock at 850 MHz and a memory clock of 4104 MHz using the new GF114 GPU core, this adds up to a really good upgrade for an older graphics card, but add in a price like $209.99  and kick in a 3 year warranty and you would have the makings of a great upgrade. EVGA is offering the ability to upgrade to a 5 to 10 year warranty when
you register your card with them and they are having a promo right now
as we speak for a 10 year warranty if you purchase your card in May or
June. So there are two more reasons to upgrade your old video card. Our main concern with the pricing on this new video card is that you can find the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Titanium) Graphics Card for $10.50 more after rebates with shipping included. The GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) Graphics Card is faster as it has more stream processors.

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card Specs:

• Core Clock: 850 MHz
  


• Memory Clock: 4104 MHz
  


• Shader Clock: 1700 MHz
  


• CUDA Cores: 336
  


• Bus Type: PCI-E 2.0
  


• Memory: 1 GB GDDR5


• Memory Bit Width: 256 Bit


• Memory Bandwidth: 131.3GB/sec


• Texture Fill Rate: 47.6 GT/s
  

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SC Video Card Features:

• Microsoft Direct X 11 Support
  


• Nvidia CUDA Technology
  


• Nvidia PhysX Technology
  


• Nvidia Pure Video HD Technology
  


• Nvidia 2 Way SLI Ready
  


• Nvidia 3D Vision Surround Ready
  


• Two dual-Link HDCP Capable Connectors
  


• One Mini-HDMI 1.4 Connector
  


• OpenGL 4.1 Support

ASUS Radeon HD 6870 Video Card Review

The ASUS Radeon HD 6870 Video Card

There is nothing like a really powerful video card to make all of your gaming dreams come true. Let's take a look at that statement. We all want really high frame rates at really high resolutions and we want it all to look as real as possible, and even sometimes on top of that we want it in 3D. Well, the 3D thing isn't going to happen here today but from what I can see ASUS is trying to pull out all the stops with one of their 6800 series Radeon HD cards. To be more specific, the ASUS Radeon HD 6870 Video Card (EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5). Another part of this dream is the ability to overclock your video card into the stratosphere. So what we are going to do today is take a look at how the ASUS Radeon HD 6870 (EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5) performs in a variety of games and benchmarks to see if it can make these dreams come true.

Most of us know ASUS as one of the top tier motherboard makers in the world. And in recent times they ventured into other aspects of computer hardware such as video cards, monitors, laptops, and even sound cards if you can believe that. ASUS was founded in Taipei, Taiwan in 1990 by TH Tung, Ted Hsu, Wayne Hsieh, and MT Liao. Let's fast forward quite bit to the present time and take a look at their 6870 video card that features their very own Direct CU cooler system that incorporates the use of 3 heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU and results in around a 20% temperature difference compared to a reference cooler.

To try and say that this video card is made for anything more than playing video games is a gross misjudgment. Although you can use it for a multitude of other things such as watching movies, You Tube videos, making spreadsheets or anything else along that line. But come on, we all know that's not what this was intended for. It was made for pure frame processing power. This card is made for the gaming and enthusiast crowds because not only can it play pretty much any game it wants to it looks really cool in your case while it's doing it. With its heat pipes and its black PCB it looks like a muscle car that is ready to tear up the road.

ASUS currently makes 2 different versions of the Radeon HD 6870 Graphics Card:

• ASUS EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5
915 MHz Core Clock 4200 MHz memory clock with DirectCU cooling at $199.99

• ASUS EAH6870/2DI2S/1GD5 
915 MHz Core Clock 4200 MHz memory Clock at $199.99

With a core clock of 915 MHz and a memory clock of 4200 MHz you already have a good thing, but add in a price like $199.99  and kick in a 3 year warranty and you have the makings of a great thing. Although the price may be a tiny bit higher than the other cards in this price point, I don't know how many other companies are actually offering a full 3 year limited warranty so this all might pan out in the end.

Well, I guess there isn't much more to say regarding a quick overview of the card and the company so let's just go ahead and move it along by taking a quick look at some of the specifications and features of the ASUS Radeon HD 6870 Video Card (EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5) before heading further into the review where we will look at the results of our testing and benchmarking.

ASUS Radeon HD 6870 Video Card (EAH6870 DC/2DI2S/1GD5) Features:

• AMD Hd3D Technology


• Eyefinity Technology


• AMD CrossfireX Capable


• Direct X 11 support

Google Announces Google Talk Video Chat for Android 2.3.4

Back when we reviewed the Nexus S and Android 2.3, one of our only complaints was that gingerbread sorely needed front facing video chat support. Third party video chat clients take time to be updated to support new devices, and at that point there wasn't a simple solution. It seemed inevitable that Google would leverage existing Google Talk video support to enable video chat not just between phones but also the desktop.

Google today announced just what we've been waiting for. First party video chat support is coming in Android 2.3.4 to Nexus S devices as an OTA update in the next few weeks. Other Android 2.3+ devices will get the update in the future depending on manufacturer OTA update releases. 

The update will enable video chat support on devices over 3G, 4G (if your carrier supports it) or WiFi between enabled Android 2.3+ smartphones and tablets, and the desktop Google Talk client. 

 

In the client, a video or voice chat button will appear next to contacts which can then be tapped to initiate the chat. The client will suspend video chat and continue audio as well if the video chat session loses focus in Android, and any text chat recieved will be superimposed on the ongoing video chat. The interface looks like a slimmed-down version of what we saw in Android 3.0 on the Motorola Xoom. 

Google has also provided a short video demonstrating overall functionality.

(Updated: Video and Gallery) Apple's iPhone 4 Coming to Verizon Early Next Month, With Wireless Hotspot

Well, it's official - Verizon is getting the iPhone 4. The Apple/Verizon relationship developed over the last two years. The two companies began technical discussions starting in 2008 about bringing the iPhone to Verizon. The phone then spent a year in testing and design and starting early next month, the iPhone 4 will come to Verizon.

The Apple/Verizon relationship is formalized in a multi-year, non-exclusive agreement. However we have no additional details, including whether or not release schedules will be synchronized with AT&T.

At Verizon's press conference there's a lot of mutual respect sharing between the two companies. It looks like there's a desire to establish that these two companies want to work together and will continue to going forward. 

Existing VZW customers will be able to pre-order the iPhone 4 online on February 3rd, 2010. A week later, on February 10th, everyone will be able to order the Verizon iPhone 4 both online and in Verizon stores as well as at the Apple store (both online and at physical stores).

The phone will sell for $199.99 for a 16GB version, and $299.99 for the 32GB version. The Verizon iPhone 4 will feature wireless hotspot capabilities allowing you to connect up to 5 devices to it over WiFi. Verizon indicated that you wouldn't be able to use voice and data simultaneously, consistent with other CDMA devices on its network.

No Video, Has Power on a P4VM - MX Motherboard

Troubleshooting Video Problem poses a challenge amongst Computer Technicians. There will be a hard time pointing out or zeroing in of the problem in terms of which peripheral is failing. Most of the time, Video Problems are attributed to a Video Card, RAM, or PSU failure. But in some cases, the RAM, PSU or the Video card hardly be suspected to cause the Video Problem but other devices such as the Hard Disk Drive, burnt capacitors on the motherboard, burnt or grounded card peripherals, and other components least expected to cause the problem.

The question is, how are we going to find and fix the cause of the problem and try to stop it from recurring and what Methods of Troubleshooting are we to follow. Try to see below how we did the fix.

Date Fixed: 07.02.10

Owner : Mr. Marcial

Unit / Motherboard : P4VM -MX 2.4 Ghz with 512 Mb of RAM

Operating System : Win XP SP 2

Technicians : CLHIDO Computer Hardware Servicing Students

URLS : http://clhidohsr.blogspot.com and http://dgteclhido.blogspot.com

PROBLEM :

No Video but has Power

INTERVENING FACTOR :

No Driver Support CD

OBSERVATION :

When the Computer was turn on, there was no video but has power. The fans of the power supply turns and the indicator led of the motherboard lights. The PSU must less be suspected and we can directly assume that the video system or the RAM must be the failing the component.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE :

- Since we found out that there is power from the PSU, the fans are all spinning, and the indicator LED is lighting; checking the power system will be done later after checking all the other peripherals if we can find fault or faults.

- To be able to accomplish such check, we removed all connectors to the drives including the power and data cables and also removed the card peripherals virtually leaving just the RAM, the Processor and the motherboard power connector. There is no video card connected and what we can only check at this moment is the RAM and the Processor.

- Having only the RAM and Processor to check first, we turned on the system unit and observed if there will be a continuous beep that might indicate a RAM problem. But there was no beep. The RAM's are ok and surprisingly there was a live screen and we were able to navigate in the BIOS. The RAM's, Processor, and the Integrated Video System are discarded to suspected of causing the problem.

- The next thing to do is to check the card peripherals. So we turned off the system for safety and then inserted the internal modem. As we turned on the system unit, we pinned it! the video was gone! The modem caused the problem! So again we turned off the computer then removed the internal modem and physically inspected it. We then found out a little burnt area on the largest chip of the modem. The problem was caused by the burnt internal modem!

- We then inserted and connected all peripherals to its proper cabling and header then turned the computer on. It was then O.K. The modem really is the failing component.

SUMMARY

- In troubleshooting video problems, we cannot suppose to suspect the video card, RAM, or PSU to cause the problem all the time. Sometimes, the least suspected modem can cause the problem or other peripherals likely to be expected to fail.

- As we ask the owner of the computer how his system unit failed, he said that the computer did not have video display on the morning after the evening storm. Lightning was everywhere during that night and must have caused the modem to burn in anyhow.

No Video, No Beep, MoBo LED Lights on, Fans don't spin, on a Biostar TF7100P - M7

The issues of the Biostar TF7100P - M7 Computer comes quites complicated. It shows no display, No beep, both fans of the CPU heat sink assembly and power supply fan won't spin, but the motherboard LED lights on. We may suspect that the video card or RAM must be failing but we can't be too sure. A thorough check must be done at the beginning of every computer troubleshooting. Assessing the present condition of the computer and observing for physical damage and other minute details must be carried out before anything else. To find out how we made the fix, see below.

Date Fixed : 07.11.10

Problem : No Video, No Beep, Mobo LED Lights on, Fans won't spin.

Owner : Anonymous ( Church Employee )

Motherbaord : Biostar TF7100P - M7

Operating System : XP SP2

Technicians : Boging and Tomasito

URLs : http://clhidohsr.blogspot.com and http://clhidohardware.blogspot.com

INTERVENING FACTORS :

No Motherboard Support CD

OBSERVATION(S) :

Trying to turn on the system unit, the HDD LED on the front panel of the computer doesn't light. It has no display and there was no beep sound heard. The fans as we checked didn't spin. Our suspicion led us directly to the fault of the PSU but we cant be too sure.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE :

- Based on our earlier observations, we need to open the side cover of the system unit to check if there are observable physical defects on the components of the motherboard like burnt capacitors.

Of course safety is primarily considered. So every time you need to open the system unit case, always turn off the computer and unplug it from the avr.

- With the side cover removed, we then inspected for physical defects. We did not find any burnt capacitor or other components showing bold physical defect. So we considered removing the data and power cables from the drives and turned on the system unit to find out if the drives might be shorted and have cased the problem. Again, there was no change on the status of the computer.

- As the system unit "runs" with power, there was this hardly audible whistling sound coming from within the system unit. We furthered our observation and sharpened our listening and finally found out that the sound came from the Power Supply Unit.

- So we opened the PSU and found 1 burnt and 3 leaky capacitors!!! The PSU is defective! So we requested the owner of the system unit to buy a new 450 W ATX PSU rather than to replace the capacitors. We may be able to change the components (the leaky and burnt capacitors) but I strongly recommend to replace it a new one.

- After the replacement of the PSU with a new one, the system then powers up and displays the POST. We turned off the system unit and connected back the data and power cables to the drives. Turned it on and found out that we were not able to boot up. The operating system was corrupted and needs to be fixed.

- Trying to fix the operating system using the XP Installation CD, it failed. We also tried Spotmau and still did not succeed. So we just reinstalled XP without formatting the drive and backed up the files.

- After the file backup, we re-installed the operating system with fresh install. Since there was no motherboard support cd, we downloaded and installed the drivers of this Biostar TF7100P - M7 motherboard from the their website.

- Problem solved!

SUMMARY :

- Stubborn problems are most probably be caused by the the Power Supply Unit ( PSU )

- Use you senses in troubleshooting computers, like to listen for abnormal sound. Most likely, a whistling sound is caused by a leaky capacitor. That capacitor might be from the motherboard or power supply and in our case, from the PSU.
