GA-X58A-UD3R electrical noises [solved]

[onemilimeter]

For what it is worth, my UD9 does not exhibit any untoward noises, or any at all in fact.

That's great... well... do u think Gigabyte will allow customers (who has the noise problem) to swap their boards (e.g. UD3R) with UD9?  

Does that include UD7 owners too?  

Sure... UD7 owner will get two pieces of UD9 !

I remember that with the UD3R rev 1.0, the first 2 I got had the noise even after disabling C1E, but the third one had no noise after disabling C1E. So, there is some sample variance in the motherboards. However, I found that regardless of what C1E setting you have, you can eliminate the noise coming from the motherboard by fixing a vcore voltage value, rather than leaving it at Auto. Maybe you want to try that.

Thank you thank you thank you!
Fixing the vcore voltage works.
I set me vcore to 1.25v
Turned off turbo.
My machine now works at full clock with C1E enabled and NO NOISE.

Still, it would be nice if this problem was fixed completely.

Having a fix vcore is the same thing is as turning of c1e. Google C1e for more info.

That's the trouble, all these fixes are just workarounds and not actually tackling the problem itself.

Any "Fix" they do will involve turning off c1e.

There's one fix I know that will fix it permanently.

It involves a few simple steps as outlined below. Make sure you follow it exactly for permanent noise fix.

Steps:

1. get a hammer.
2. lay board on concrete or hard surface
3. raise arm and lower arm while holding hammer over the board.
4. make sure that adequate force makes contact with board.
5. repeat till board no longer resembles original appearance.
6. contact gigabyte for RMA and ask for a REFUND.
7. go buy asus

Well, yes joker, I guess that would work although it sounds like a longwinded way of getting there. I favour the usage C4 myself, leaves nothing to chance

No.
My way is better.

There's two problem with your suggestion.

1. Where are you gonna get c4, unless you know some muslim extremists or you're plotting to take down some building yourself
(which means we got bigger problems to deal with then a noisy board ie report you to uncle sam)

2. How would you rma it when there's nothing left except some stuff that looks like my kitty litter.

I'm not so sure.

1) We in the Westfield Chapter of Al Quaeda have no fixed budget(curtesy of Bin Laden)

2) It would automatically airmail itself anywhere

Beta BIOS GA-X58A-UD3R - F6j is out on TT forum.

Finally a bios that works, and works well..

[kangoo]

so F6j is better than FVB? that would be great
please tell me if it solved also whines during OS boot

 That's good news but could you be a little more specific in the changes etc?

The whining board I had I send back for refund but I still hace 1 X58a-ud3r rev 1.0, It made a tiny whine noise on start up and F6j seemed to fix it. That bios also seems more stable than the other beta bios they made. So as of now I am using f6j and happy with it.

Is the C1E option working properly now?

Yes it does, I have tested this bios for 2 hours now and it has been great so far.
