GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noises [solved]

[Lightmgl]

Is this related at all to the new F7B beta bios that has popped up now for the Revision 1.0 boards? I've been unable to find update notes for that bios anywhere so I am wary of flashing it.

No not to my knowledge. The FVB BIOS is a special BIOS for this problem and as far as I know hasn't been released generally and is only for the UD3R boards.

Ah that still leaves this F7B mystery then. It was labelled as an X58A-UD3R 1.0 bios dated September 29th.

Where did you see this BIOS version?

Where did you see this BIOS version?

From what I can tell it originated in the TweakTown Gigabyte Bios thread and I've seen it in a couple of other tweaking forums with folks trying to figure out what it actually does. Folks were hoping for a squeal fix or a fix for the issue with the slow boot in F6 when you don't have a HD set as the first boot device.

Yes it is a beta BIOS version and I am not suprised that you saw it at TweakTown as they usually get the newest versions before us.

Is gigabyte Canada fixing this issue as well? My ud3 board is making the same whining noise and is just too annoying.

I have tried all suggestions here like disabling c1e and stuff but not having much luck.

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

As soon as the testing has finished and the fix is proven the other Gigabyte centres will be running the same schemes I am sure.
Have you disabled EIST also?

Is this only on rev 1.0 boards? Mine is a rev 2.0 and it has the noise

Hi The punisher

Yes, only for 1.0 at this moment.

P.S. If disabling C1E doesn't help in your MB then it can be a little different issue than discussed in this thread.

Hi

Just finished reading this thread and thought I'd post my issue with this motherboard. I've been putting up with the elecrical noise for over 4 months, finally getting a headache from it. Emailed gigabyte and they told me to go to the place I purchased it from. Got the board to the reseller, 3 weeks later I get it back WITH the same noise. Only thing I noticed was a sticker was placed on the board. I have tried disabling all the things listed in this thread but to no avail. I don't have the luxury of swapping power supplies etc. The configuration of my machine is:

x58a-ud3r v1 with latest bios
120gb Phoenix Pro ssd
1.5tb samsung
2 x 250gb maxtors
300gb wd
720/750 watt gigabyte ps
5770 sapphire vapor-x video
antec case

I'm at my wits end with this board. Though I'd ask for advise etc before emailing gigabyte again

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

Obviously it is difficult to comment on your particular board's problems but if you read through this thread (I know there is enough of it) and are still convinced that your problem is the same all I can suggest is to take it up with Gigabyte Australia who are well aware of the problem and solution.

Sorry I don't know what else to suggest.

hello
i just bought a rev 2 of this motherboard and i also have some electrical noise problem. Disabling C1E does help but still, i'm working with audio so i'm not sure i can live with that noise. Will there be a "harware fix" for rev 2 soon ? or am i better off swapping the board for another one ? (Asus?)

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte Forum.

To be honest this is not a problem that is limited to Gigabyte boards although they do seem more suseptable. I think that it is a product of several different components being brought together.
The hardware fix seems to be working on the revision 1.0 boards alright so no doubt the other boards will be following shortly.
Have you tried disabling not only C1E but the other C3 etc power saving modes and EIST also. Some people have reported that fixing the voltage also helps rather than keeping it on auto.

Hi neurocon

You may try this special bios ver. FVA for X58A-UD3R Rev.2.0.
If this will not help then please sent the MB for RMA as additional (hardware) fix is now available.

Thanks
