GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noises [solved]

[jaicigy]

Well, maybe we are getting somewhere now.. good thing we finally are communicating more closely and trying different settings and info out so we find the pefect settings under the circumstances until maybe we have to start over again after the new BIOS update but still.. I like it to hear different points of view and opinions and not only nagging and critisizing since that is getting us nowhere..

Has anyone flashed rev 2.0 bios to rev 1.0?? I was going to flash the rev 2.0 bios to my rev 1.0 board to see if the noise goes away. Is the rev 2.0 making that same noise??

[jaicigy]

I don´t know if that is recommendable to flash a board with a firmware addressed for a different rev. board. If it was exchangable, I am sure Gigabyte would have uploaded the firmware for rev. 2.0 as well as for 1.0 so it might be risky..

There is someone in this topic that has a rev. 2.0 board and he still has the noises so still no improvement on that, maybe that holy new firmware that might come out soon for rev. 1.0

Since X58A motherboard has dual BIOS, it should be no problem for EliteComputerBuild to flash Rev. 2.0 BIOS into Rev. 1.0 board.

[EliteComputerBuilds]

Since I have 2 of these boards I am going to flash it for the hell of it to see if anything improves. I will get back to you shortly.

and what is the use of it? It only gives support to AI Charger and the noises are still there so I do not see the point of it..

[EliteComputerBuilds]

Also the fact that they gave the rev 2 a better power phase angers me. Yes it is a better improvement. We should be able to send our boards back and get rev. 2

[EliteComputerBuilds]

Oh and I have bios F6b in my other board and I have 0 noise issues, with f5 bios it made noise. On the board I use everyday I have the noise even with bios F6b

We are dicussing the noises issue here, not the right to have a newer and improved power phased board.. until somebody confirms that the noise problems are 100% solved with the new rev. 2.0 boards I do not see the point of it..

Interesting.. tell us about the hardware installed on both systems and maybe we learn something..

The hardware on my other board that makes 0 noise is:

i7 920
G.Skill Ripjaws 1600 6GB
XFX 5770 XXX
Thermaltake 850 watt Modular PSU
2 WD RE3 Hard drives in Raid 0

I was told its certian PSU's that makes the MB be noisy. Could be true as I didnt try that PSU in my other rig I am using now.

Yes, that is then the first thing I would try, exchange the PSUs.. I am curious about results..
By the way, are the BIOS settings the same or is there any difference? Please check every setting

And what was the hardware relating to your other board the one that does make a noise? Could you try swapping the boards over to see if that makes any difference?

I can confirm that this is wrong. The motherboard, if it makes the noise from the CPU chokes area, will make the noise regardless of what PSU you plug to it.

However, if you're talking about noise coming from the power supply due to feedback from the motherboard - yes, that noise can be louder or softer depending on how sensitive your particular power supply is. The sensitivity of the power supply depends on how well glued the components are inside - if they are glued thoroughly they won't make the noise, if there are loose parts they will vibrate and create the noise.

Update, I switched power supplies and the noise is still the same. So no the PSU is not the problem. Oh well I plan to get the Asus R3E. Much better board.
