Hi

You didn't mention your location and it's not in your profile.

Have you tried the official BIOS for this problem ?

Its Kiev, Ukraine.

And no, I haven't tried yet official BIOS for this problem. I guess, I will have to ask runn3R to provide me with this BIOS again, but now for X58A-UD5 (rev. 2.0).

I am afraid runn3R is on holiday for the next week so it may be a while before he gets back to you.

I'm to having same trouble with noise
i have updated to the last bios version and that not helped
Motherbord: GA-X58A-UD5 rev 2.0 with FD BIOS
Seasonic M12D-850 as power supply
and to add this noise is some times go away but some times returns randomly so I'm waiting for bios fix too

[Dark Mantis]

I would suggest the same to you.  Contact runn3R next week by PM and try the special BIOS. If that fails to work then you will need to RMA the board for the hardware fix.

I feel for all you people with this issue. Fortunately I was able to fix it by locking the CPU vCore, as I'm overclocking anyways. Hope you all get a swift hardware fix going, or of course a bios fix.

Try overclocking it for several weeks and the noise may go away when you switch it back "un-overclocking" state...

[Trinitrotoluene]

Really? Interesting... How come? Can you or anyone else give me some technical insight about that?

I was trying to get Intel Turbo Boost working correctly on my motherboard yesterday, a P67A-UD5. I found that the C3/C6 setting being enabled caused my motherboard begin making the annoying high pitched noise. For my board C1E made no difference. Trouble is, C3/C6 disabled makes Intel Turbo Boost only go up to first boost level. I think C3/C6 enabled lowers the power on the idle cores allowing the higher levels to be reached.

Hi Everyone,

So I am having the SAME electric whine with the GA-X58a-UD3r 1.0. I have tried two different PSUs, a Corsair CX400 and a Corsair HX620. The CX400 is brand new and they both operate silently and flawlessly apart from the whine ONLY when they are connected to the UD3r.

Disabling C1e "fixes" the issue, so it sounds like I would be a great candidate for runn3r's fix. I live in the US, so I'm not eligible right now. Does anyone know if the fix is being tested globally yet?

Hi and welcome to the Gigabyte forum.

The fix is now available globally so you will just need to contact your retailer who should be able to arrange the RMA for you.

Hi Dark Mantis!

Thanks for the welcome. I have to trying to get a direct response about the hardware fix for weeks now from Gigabyte Customer Service. So you have made my day. This hardware fix does completely eliminate the noise, correct? Sorry if that's a stupid question. I really have read the forum, but that was weeks - and in some cases months - ago.

runn3r emailed me about the BIOS update, so I'm going to give that a try first (beats ripping my system apart), but I have a feeling I'm going to need the hardware repair. I purchased this board through Newegg.com almost a year ago. Do I still need to arrange an RMA through them? I was trying to arrange an RMA directly with Gigabyte (USA), but they didn't seem to know anything about the hardware fix.
