[neurocon]

thanks Dark Mantis and Runner

i'm going to try this special BIOS then. will there be a problem mixing this BIOS with the newest drivers ? i guess no, just asking to be on the safe side..

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

There shouldn't be any problem. Just do BIOS upgrade using function called Q-Flash inside our bios. You can check more details how to do it here:

Hi ex58

Bios ver. FVA which is placed at
http://forums.tweaktown.com/gigabyte/28441-gigabyte-latest-bios-3.html#post270437
is for Rev.1.0 indeed

But ver. FVA which is placed at
http://forum.giga-byte.co.uk/index.php/topic,1426.msg26303.html#msg26303
is for Rev.2.0, believe me.

P.S. I have checked these files and they are different. You can FC them if still have doubts.

Those who have this motherboard - can you please tell us:
1) Does your motherboard make the electrical noise?
2) What are the first 4 digits of the motherboard's serial number? That's the batch number... so far I've got the noise problems on the 1003 and 1004 batches... hoping to find out which batches DONT have this problem.

Hi All

As there were a few users who reported the same problem with X58A-UD7 Rev. 1.0 so here is suggested way to solve it:

1) Load special bios ver. FVA

2) If still not good then send the MB for RMA

I have got to do a rebuild of mine soon (when I get time) and will try the BIOS update then. Although I have managed to alleviate the worst of the noise now anyway.

Hey Runner,

Just wondering what is actually changed in the FVA bios.  I am not super technical, but was just wondering.  Will this allow me to re-enable C1E on my x58a-ud5 without the coil whine?

[Dark Mantis]

Hi

As I understand it you should be able to use your system the same as normal but it is possible the BIOS update won't work fully on it's own in which case you would have to RMA it for a small hardware fix also.

If you want to talk to runn3R i would suggest PMing him.

Tried this fix that you posted in another thread for me.  Seems I didn't have good luck.  The FVA bios did fix my sleep issue, as my computer can now go to sleep, which is great.  However, the coil whine still persists when enabling power saving in windows or C3/C6/C7 state in the bios.  Having C1 or EIST do not seem to throttle on their own if windows throttling is off.

I have 1 week to return to local retailer.  Is this problem fixed in Rev2 of the UD5?
