X58A-UD3R DPC Latency Issue

[randomxt]

While I wait for RMA I noticed something
When I fixed this issue in the past - which I cant figure out how I did.
I had 2 Digital Audio SPDIF entries in my sound control panel - 1 for Optical (Tritton Dolby headset) and 1 for COAX (pioneer receiver)
I notice that now with the popping , I have 2 entries but one is for ATAPI Internal ATAPI Jack and the other is for combo SPDIF and that the combo one outputs to BOTH my optical and my coax. Not sure if this is the problem.
But it may be a symptom of the problem

It certainly requires more investigation. Try disabling one at a time and see if it has any effect.

It is a temperature issue, I spent many days chasing the same problem.  I have mounted an active fan over the heat sink and never had the problem again.  See my findings in this thread:

Hmm I will try that
Problem is my novo has heat issues in that it always thinks my CPU is 127 degrees
Maybe that's what's causing it
Will try stuff around that!
Thanks

Case open with HUGE AC unit + fan blowing into it... freezing cold and no dice.
The NB or SB isn't really all that hot and the LED isn't even on.
Except for my CPU led which is on RED hot because of my issue - which could be same thing as you mentioned.

I think I will RMA the board, if Giga ever gets back to me.

thanks!

I feel that is probably the only reasonable course of action now. I don't like to be beaten but sometimes you have to know when to give up.

Yup waiting for RMA
Though in the mean time I have a partial fix. This will blow your minds. But if I install ET3 then my DPC goes to about 1/2 of what it is. Still high. But no popping issues - Specifically when I disable smart fan handling... not sure why the bios one isnt enough but whatever
