X58A UD3R REV 1.0 VS REV 2.0

The sound controls should be located in your Control Panel under the tab "Realtek HD Audio Manager". You still didn't tell me about your mouse, keyboard combo? Is it USB and is it wireless?

[Tritono9]

All is wired. A generic mouse and a mcrosoft ergonomic 4000 keyboard (Im new into ergonomic, is very strange right now). Now I can hear sound from the back, I configured that output like predetermined. But I dont have any control panel for the realtek drivers. I cant found it in control panel.

Do you think that usb devices can make the cpu bips sound?

I will go to sleep for a moment, 5am here, I see you tomorrow. Thank you 

[Dark Mantis]

Ok Dude, see you tomorrow.

I would start by moving the PodX to the slot furthest away from the CPU and then try moving the mouse and keyboard to other USB ports. This has been known in the past to cause a bit of "crosstalk".  I will try and get absic to look at your problem as he is our resident "music maestro".

Try uninstalling and then reinstalling the onboard sound drivers. You should have a section in the Control Panel for them.

BUT! I have one problem of noises in other place: USB. I have a Pod X3, a guitar simulator that works like soundcard too. I use this device to record and for all the sounds in windows. With my previous Mobo (a old one) I heared some electricity (Im listening through the Pod. I have studio monitors connected to the Pod with 1/4 trs balanced cables). But now, when I press buttons in the mouse I can hear the bytes, not a high volumen but I can hear and I preffer to not hear them. Is it normal? the sound is not there all the time, it shows when I open folders or navigate in general.

This happens to me too and in my case case whenever you change a folder the "high-pitch" noise will stop for 1 second and continue after that. However, when I plugged a Logitech speaker to the motherboard I did not hear any noise "amplified" by the speaker.

I think onemilimeter that the noise the OP is describing is different to the noise that you are talking about even though they are similar. We shall find out as the thread progresses anyway.

You're correct... The noise the OP is not the same to my case, in fact acts in an opposite manner. For example, the sound appears when OP "open folders", but in my case the "high-pitch" noise stops when I change from one folder to another. Recently I overclocked my system and sometimes I did hear the "squealing noise".

That,s funny because there have been several other posts on here that have said the noise stops if they overclock their systems but it is there when at the default settings. By the way have you heard anything re your board?

[Tritono9]

Hey!

Thank you for your help. I could not answer because events in my life. I wanted to answer with a very valid response based on fundaments about my situation.

I have news.

1) About the Realtek drivers problem and the no possibility of configuration. I formated my OS HD and I reinstalled the sound driver again but the newest driver at the first time. Results = all good. I have the icon in the quick launch bar and in the control panel. Problem solved!

2) About the noise issue through USB. I discovered that the noise was not generated in my speakers. The noise comes in a very little low volume from the CPU area, but the PSU amplified the sound in a huge way. I think that I have the whine thing too but in a low volume fashion (except through USB). I tried some things. If I disable the C1E thing the sound is gone. If I enable the C1E thing but disable other items in the BIOS (I dont remember now the names) born other a very irritating sound, like beps.

I wanted to keep the C1E thing on so I tried some things to turn off the whine thing. I discovered that if I put the VCore voltage up to like 950+, the whine sound thing is gone. In default settings, the VCore comes in auto. I put it in 1.0v and with the C1E thing enabled, the noise is gone. I dont hear noise through my speakers or in the PSU. I can hear a very very low electricIty sound in the PSU if I put closer my ear but maybe is normal, in my house the electrical circuit is bad and in my country we dont have good electrical circuits like in other countrys. But not sound at all!

I searched for the VCore deffault settings for the i7 930 but I cant found the exact official value. In auto mode, Bios put it in like 0.928v. Is a good idea to have it in like 1.0?

I dont have the noise now in this settings (C1E on, VCore manual) BUT I have a very big problem and Im confused. My pc restarts occasionally without advice. Is very strange.  In fact, I started configuring the VCore voltage because my pc restarts withouth advice. I thinked maybe was a voltage thing but isnt (apparently). I tried Memtest86+ v4.10 today and I dont had RAM errors. However, yesterday I tried my sistem with individual ram. When I have only one stick of ram in my sistem, my pc freeze more quickly. I put out the components and reput them and now all is more stable. For example, the other days in normal use the PC restart or freeze. With the put out and the reput of the components I only had two freezes: I let the pc On in the night downloading music and things. Today in the morning the pc was freeze.  And today I ran Prime95 with some programs open and the pc go freeze after a while.
I tried several benchmark and all seems good. I had some freezes too but like one or two.

What I can do? What do you think? Im thinking in format my HD and reinstall all again to check if there are errors in my HD but I dont know.

Please help me and sorry fior my english! 

Thank you!

Hi again, after reading your latest post I have a few suggestions. You didn't say where you are from as far as I remember but if your power isn't that good it would be a good idea to invest in a UPS system to condition your mains supply to your computer and act as a power backup in case of failure. I know what it's like from when I used to live in Bulgaria
The C1E is only a power saving option and if you want to your computer will run perfectly fine with it disabled so getting rid of the noise. The other things you have done in the BIOS basically amount to overclocking and that is why the noise usually stops. When you put a bigger load on it the noise tends to go.
A re-installation is never a bad idea if you have problems but it will not always cure them, but at least you know it isn't to do with your OS.

I've UD3R Rev. 1.0. I set the VCore manually to 1.1V. Make sure you've the right QPI/VTT and memory voltage. By the way, what's the model of your memory? Thanks.

[Tritono9]

Thank you for your help!

Now thinking with your words I noticed something: I had always Turbo on and I had put out manually the VCore max in like 1.5v. With C1E disabled and with CPUz I can see that the system in auto mode put the VCore in 1.200v and sometimes it changes to 1.184v. There is a possibility: maybe the system restart or go freeze because it needs more voltage because the thing that in Turbo mode without C1E system is 1.200v and I never put that value for myself.

My RAMs are Corsair 1333 c9, this model: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145220&cm_re=corsair_ddr3_1333-_-20-145-220-_-Product

I have set them in 9-9-9-24 10.0 multiplier (1333), 1.5v

Today I will leave the pc alone again but this time with VCore in auto and the C1E turn off.

I was in the bio and I take note of all the settings, I will write because this is my first building. If you note some weird, please tell me!

Dark Mantis that is a good question. I dont know but onemilimeter has the same values about that. Im using Optimized Defaults with some manual adjust but not much.

What do you think about 1.2 for 2,9 (turbo mode) in auto? right now, with the pc quiet without applications I have this temp in Realtemp: 44-41-44-43. onemilimiter has 3,5mhz with 1.1v!

For now the pc is working good. No noise and no restart or freezes, but I have disabled C1E and I dont know if is a good idea to keep it disable for ever? Im not overclocking right now. Dark Mantis do you have disabled C1E too?

Other thing, how I can copy/paste all my bios settings? I wrote letter to letter in my previous post, do you have some program for that? in that way I can copy everythiing and show to you!

Thank you 

[Dark Mantis]

Regarding your settings I wouldn't like to say because every chip/motherboard/memory configuration differs and it is a case of see what works for you. There's also a lot of luck involved.

Personally I don't really have a problem with disabling C1E because all it means is the processor doeswn't throttle back when it's quieter but it is a fairly recent thing and unless you worry about saving energy or the long term prospects of your chip then it's no problem.

You can use the print screen function to copy your settings or as is more commonly used I think a digital camera. I don't know of any program to do it because at thay stage of the boot process there are no programs loaded.
