I am using Mozilla. No noise with IE8. However i like Mozilla better ;D. But am not finish yet, i get noises on same page with IE8, when i move my mouse curse over the page. FBV BIOS was no success on my system no improvements what i can tell on this fast check. 

Which OS that you're using? Windows 7?
Which PSU that you're using?
Did you apply the same setting as shown in this post?

May be Gigabyte should compare their BIOS with that of ASUS...

OS: Windows 7
PSU: Corsair 750w
Settings: Standard

What do you mean "standard"? Anyway, in my case, none of the beta BIOS has fixed the noise problem completely.

Standard like it is when you flash the bios. In my case F6j fixed noise issues in Google. My board makes that nasty noise like in that you tube video, maybe even worst. Imagine that you draw your nails on the blackboard.

 I did RMA on the board but guess what, suddenly i had a bended CPU pin on the mobo. It was not there when i send it in i always do my own control before send hardware in RMA. It was pretty weird, they did a check where i bought it, after they send it to the supplier. after 14 days, a man who works on the workshop where i bought it said there is a damage pin so the warrant is no good. I called up the support because i forgot to ask is it bended or broken a lady at the support said that it does not say in the info if its broken or bended from the supplier, Hmm... so i called that guy who i talked to first time and asked same question, he said it was bended. Do you guys see my point in this? How did he know it was bended and not broken? anyway sorry for my life long story and my bad English. I don´t wanna make Gigabyte look like the bad guys, i really think it was where i bought it. They got a reputation of having their own rules and stuff going on.

P.s: I forgot to mention he also said he did not know how bad it was bended because he had not see the board himself.

Besides  one bent pin on the motherboard is surely fixable by a technician so why does that have to invalidate the warranty? ???

My point exactly, no big deal for a tech. They should have just done the repair along with whatever other repair they had to do. Bureaucracy ::)

Hi dear unfortunate users, I just joined the club with my X58a-ud5.

my rig:

X58a-ud5 rev 1.0
i7 930
psu hx-850
msi gtx 470
6x2 gskill ripjaws 16000
ssd intel 160go
hd samsung F3

C1E and EIST are deactivated in the bios. It's now working normally under Windows 7 Pro 64. But when I run games or 3D software I got back that background noise. It's very disturbing me because I live in the countryside so I can really very well listen it :(

Notice: the sound seems to come from the right speaker. If I use an headset the sound seems to come from the right again. If I use no speakers and no headset the noise seem to come from the motherboard.

If I listen music or play game with background sound it's partially cover that noise but I can't always listen music or have background sound to cover it.

What do you suggest? I'm very annoyed because I'm now out of delay to return my motherboard to the reseller. Do I must buy a new motherboard from another brand but what to do with my x58a..? Or do I must wait a fix from Gigabyte or RMA for rev 3.0 ..?

Thanks for your suggestions!

( Sorry my english must  sound a bit frenchy :) )

Hi...

Sorry to know that your system also has the annoying noise problem. Unfortunately it's a problem that until today Gigabyte still can't provide an explanation or a solution.

All the time I thought the noise I heard from my system was from the CPU socket area. Yesterday when I placed the PSU outside the computer case, I found out that most of the noise was from the PSU. I believe the noise problem in my system is very similar to that described by the thread starter (i.e. dkslim) of this topic as given below. If you read all the posts in this thread, you may find out that dkslim has demonstrated his problem to Gigabyte Australia RMA center and since then Gigabyte has tried several beta BIOS to solve the problem. I guess Gigabyte knows it's something wrong with their motherboard and not PSU, otherwise they will not bother to release few beta BIOS.

Recently, I found that I could eliminate the noise coming from the motherboard area, by setting the voltage to a specified level (rather than leaving it at "Auto"). But this doesn't solve the problem completely, because there is still electrical buzzing noise coming from my power supply (I've tried 3 different power supplies). The power supply makes no such noise when connected to another motherboard.

I have a feeling that the Gigabyte motherboards have some error in their voltage regulation, which causes feedback to pass into the connected power supply, causing any power supply it's connected to to buzz. You'll need a power supply that is very insensitive, to get rid of the noise. But the source of the problem is the motherboard, which produces dirty power.

This is simply unacceptable. I urge everyone experiencing this noise issue to complain to Gigabyte and demand that they fix it.

Well firstly welcome to the site. If you have done some research on the threads running you will have noticed that this is no new problem. There have been several BIOS updates that were supposed to help but so far seem to have failed for the most part. Gigabyte is still working on the problem though so there is hope.I suggest that for now keep an eye on the posts.

Its ok we can do some off topic talk until we get some new bios to checkout. My bad, i will not bring it up here. I will send the question to Corsair.
