Hi Dave,

Under normal circumstances Gigabyte don't do a "forward in advance" type of RMA procedure unless they operate differently in the USA. :-\

I have attempted to contact Gigabyte USA support to get the hardware fix on my X58A-UD3R rev. 1.0. But no luck. What keyword or procedure name can I give them so they know what this fix is? I do not want to spend time with them giving me troubleshooting steps. The BIOS updates did not fix the noises.

Has anyone successfully gotten this fixed by Gigabyte USA? If so let me know so I can have confidence in the process.

Thanks,

Hugo

Hi Hugo and welcome.

This is a known issue and one thrat Gigabyte is well aware of the fix for. I am just surprised that it has been so long since the problem boards that one is emerging now. I expect this will be Gigabyte's thoughts initially. You can only explain the problem and ask for it to be repaired.

You might expect Gigabyte to know about this fix but I was just asked to provide them with the Bios FVB as they did not know about it
I managed to find it on tweaktown site but now I have been told this fix is not in the later bios dates as posted on the site.
So I cannot upgrade the bios without losing the fix. and Gigabyte tech support had to told of it by me.

Does Gigabyte uk not talk to tech support so fixes get posted world wide?

Even though it may not feel like it it is the ability source unfortunately it is the motherboard causing it because my P5b did not do so. Disabling 'C1E' inside the BIOS got free of the sound in my circumstances.

Well considering it was the UK techs that first managed to sort it out when it was first a problem and then supplied the FVB BIOS to counter it I am sure they know about it. It was then passed on to other countries.

Yes as in the early days of sorting this issue often disabling C1E would stop the noise.

From my experience since this fix Gigabyte seem to have forgotten how to fix it.
They had to be pointed to it by me telling them where to find the FVB bios.
They advised that the fix is not in the latest Bios versions and that I have to disable C1E

Fortunately I do have the fix but now cannot upgrade to latest Bios my graphic card supplier has asked for.
It is also an issue as I was looking at a new processor and do not know what is supported now.

Disabling 'C1E' in the BIOS got rid of the noise for me as well. :)

Thank you so much, was driving me crazy.
