GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noises [solved]

[jaicigy]

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.

thanks for trying..

I just got response from Gigabyte service and got a link for this BETA version for the BIOS for this board:

As I stated before, I do not have the board anymore so maybe someone else can test it.

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??

i wouldn't do it. you will kill your mb probably. better try with new beta bios which jaicigy received

thanks jaicigy for pushing gigabyte for so long, i admire your patience and persistence

I just checked the download section of this board on the official Gigabyte website and the BETA version is not yet available for download.
Even though this board has two BIOS chips I would not risk it to upgrade to BIOS for Revision 2.0 since if something goes wrong you probably will not have any warranty on the board anymore since this flashing of the BIOS to rev.2.0 BIOS version is not recommended by Gigabyte and done at your own risk. I think it is wiser to try first the BETA version I just presented and work from there..

Yes I would have to agree with jaicigy, if you start messing with the bios revisions that are not specifally for that board you will lose your warranty.

so, who is the first volunteer to try this BETA version on his screaming board ??

Whenever you update BIOS, the computer checks whether the BIOS is compatible with the motherboard first - if it's not, it will not proceed. So you should be safe flashing BIOS.

But since this BIOS is F6beta, it is most likely for the Rev 1.0 only (as the latest official Rev 1.0 BIOS is F5, it's a logical progression).

no one has tested it yet???  
Come on.. everybody is nagging and complaining and when a possible solution comes along no one will even try it and offer feedback on it... I do not have my Gigabyte mobo anymore ontherwise I had already given clear feedback on this issue..

This is special bios F6i for GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 1.0 which has been prepared after I reported this issue to HQ. Anyone having the noise please check with this bios and feedback results. Thanks

I can't understand why no one has loaded this bios update yet. runn3R is there any sign of an update for the X58A-UD7 yet?

Hi Dark Mantis

As most of complains were about X58-UD3R 1.0 that's why I gave the highest priority for this model.
We need to have confirmation that this solution works, then will follow with other revisions and models.

Really dissappointing that nobody tests the BETA BIOS out..

Just back from holiday. Please let me know what are the tools required to flash one of the dual bios. I will try the "new" bios...

Hi onemilimeter

Please upgrade the bios using Q-Flash utility embedded inside our bios setup, see the guide at:

Thanks. My system does not have a floppy drive. My HDD is not in FAT32 format. So, the only option I have is to flash from USB. I tried but I can't see the USB in the Q-flash window. Pls advise. Thanks.
