OK, folks, just found out after a call to Dell Support.

My sound came from the bottom right... which is the cpu area.

Apparently, according to them, this issue sometimes happen to Core 2 Duo, does not happen to pentium, etc. Even after hardware exchange, this prob could still be there. Dunno y

He suggested to try this 3rd party software , RM Clock Utility, and remove a setting called "Enable Popup mode" (under Chipset)..... And it works!!!! No more cpu disturbing noise.

I not sure what effects will removing this "Enable Popup mode" in RM CLock Utility caused.

I'm ok with this software solution for now.

Note: What might work for me, might not work for u. Try at your own risk. if needs be, just call the experience dell guys. XPS - 24 x 7 phone support.

Cheers!!!

so the hissing problem is not a myth... saw quite a number of posts in notebookreview.com that complain about the problem... if it is really a cpu issue, why do other brands not have the same problem?

 

[Kaki369]

but then.... like that means after 1yr.. any problem i must claim from Courts if got any problem? i don understand how it works.. can elaborate if don mind?

Thank u!

As mentioned to me by the technical support..is due to the motherboard design..certain components fault....I think is Dell design prob...u also having same issues?
