hey guys, let me ask to you this:

all you have the X58A-UD3R, right? I need to know if you experienced some noises like the squeals that are described in the thread about noises here. What about it in your situation? Im very worried about this issue and it seems is not a general thing at all, so if someone of you are running very fine your Mobo will be of help for me for my peace of mind.

Thank you.

The problem you will find with what your asking is that in general it is only people experiencing problems that actually frequent these forums, so you are going to end up with a one sided debate.

I checked couple times for bent pins, but no of them is bent.

Exchange your current RAM with another model of GSkill 6GB kit from your dealer or local GSkill distributor. Possible?
So you think is memory related??
I tested them one by one with memtest and received no error.

F5 is for Ver. 1, as Dark Mantis said FA is the latest bios for Ver. 2.

Just to clear it up for everyone, I had 3 bent motherboard pins in my motherboard. Check to see if your pins are bent too.
Sorry TLCH723 my bad I was asking lostix? I should have quoted.
