I am running Windows 7 Professional 64bit on an early 2011 17" MacBook Pro.
Here some specs:
Intel Core i7 2720QM
AMD Radeon 6750M HD
4GB RAM
When I have been playing Battlefield 3 (running it at 1440x900 with medium settings), just after the match finishes there is a beep sound and about half a second later, there is another beep. They are high pitched, not squeaky, but still high. I thought it was just BF3 in-game sounds, but then I played some Skyrim and got the same beep...beep sound after about 15 minutes of gameplay. I have only noticed the beeps happening after buying and playing BF3 yesterday. They have never happened before BF3.
I looked at the temperature of the i7 and it said that the max temperature it was running at was 98 degrees celcius. The GPU was running at around 85 degrees. Some people have said that those temperatures are alright for the models they are, but I reckon 98 degrees is pretty high.
Are the beeps a warning that the i7 is overheating? The i7 runs around 53 degrees during normal use, but almost always goes past 85 when playing any game.
The beep...beep sound came through my headset as well as the normal speakers, so that means that the beeps are going through the sound card and not coming from anything inside the Mac.
Any ideas on why these beeps are happening?
Thanks for reading.
