Should I avoid GA-EX58-UD5 ?

Hi chiLLZ,

Thanks for taking the time to check this for me, I have raised an RMA for the current board and have a replacement coming tomorrow (fingers crossed the replacement is fine).

Hi,

I've just built a system with the UD5 and have a problem with a high pitched whine coming from the board. I know it's not any other component as I have swapped out all other parts with known working parts.

I've found after a bit of googling that disabling the C1E in the bios stopps the noise, what I would like to know is if anyone else has this high pitched noise with the board. Also if you don't have this noise do you have the C1E option enabled?

Have mine on my desk all built and confirm no noise with or without C1E on mine

no - the ud5 is an excellent board

Thanks also you your confirmation, unfortunately DPD decided that my Saturday delivery was not to happen and my package was still sat at their hub so am waiting for the replacement to arrive on Monday now. :mad:

Fingers crossed there is no problem with the replacement, will test outside the case this time round before re-building.
