I have no clue how to overclock :P so its been at 3.3GHz all this time, and i would prefere it like that, though now it doesn't even seem to be working at that lower speed.

Well overclocking or not the suggestion still stands to clear the CMOS etc. ;)

there! i cleared it back to defaults, obviously this strange noise isn't going away, but i noticed that now the clock speed is around 1.5GHz and when you go in a game or something, it goes up to around 3.8GHz, power saving mode or something?

Yes you are right it is a power saving scheme. The processor will vary it's speed dependant on what it needs are. Can you track down where this noise is coming from and describe it as best as possible please?

the noise got worst, and started to scare me so i turned my comp off.. left it for about 15 minutes, did the power draining thing or whatever (where you turn off all power and hold the power button i nfor like 30 secs), then turned it on and the scary sound seems to have stopped now.

The noise sounded like it was coming from the back case fan above the psu

Can anyone tell me how i can check if my cpu's integrated graphics is enabled? i would prefere that off. I think that the defaeults may have enabled it again.

You have to go into the BIOS and find the section Advanced BIOS Features and look for Init Display First and set it to whatever slot your GPU is using. I take it that it will be PCIEx16.

I don't think there is any way to manually disable it.

Its still working  :o amazing

It was set to PCI, now set to PCIEx16.

Do you recommend me keeping it in "power saving mode"? Will i loose performance or not?

I'm confused to what exactly my clock speed is now(or what it can go up to), windows system info says @ 3.6GHz, "Speccy" shows 3.3GHz, CPUZ just jumps around everything from 1.6GHz most of the time, to around 3.8GHz when gaming.

The temperatures are very good, i havn't even seen it hit 30C yet.

Yes you can leave it as it is. It just really means that the CPU throttles back when it doesn't need the extra power to save energy.

Glad it's all working alright now.  ;)

F6 BIOS final seems to not fix the problem.

After messing around, it seems the slow startup is only present when CDROM is set to first priority. Never had slow startup on my old EP35 with the same drive when that same option was set.

It is always best to make the HDD Primary Boot Device to save having to wait for the system to check the optical drive for any data.

Is your CDROM drive an IDE version ? If so that is another reason why.

No, SATA. The UD3 doesn't even support IDE...

I just heard that there was a new BIOS version out at stationdrivers.com. I haven't verfied this but it might be worth checking.
