Windows 7 Power Settings Tweak

Ok, so I've read some of the Windows 7 DAW tweak guides and all of them say to change your power settings from "balanced" to "high". Well, I can't cause when I do, I can hear a whine when set on high :O Anyone else have/had this trouble?? Is it THAT big of a deal to have it on high?
    

It's not what we're doing, it's how you do it :)

    Open the box and listen to which fan is changing speed. And get speedfan and other testing software and check temperatures and fan speeds

    Prolly will be the cpu fan. Might need a bigger heatsink and fan. If not, get a reostat speed control, make it quieter while checking temps. Verify temp range at intel's site.

    If not the CPU fan, then what? Video card fan, power supply fan, case fan???

    Do some science and all will be revealed.

    That kinda sounds like the classic Gigabyte UD motherboard whine issue. Try going into the Bios and disable the various C1 halt, and speedstep (EIST) features.
