Nope, Mine isnt Coil whining at all. You might have to RMA it if the bios update or fixes that was mention doesn't work.

That wasn't i.e but LE as in later edit you may be excused

As for the 4 way crossfire thing, the cost of such a thing, power consumption, performance issues etc isn't worth it if you're considering doing this at a later time ( 1-2 years don't know what you meant by future); you'd be better of with buying 2 new generation cards. Besides, your cpu won't handle 4 way crossfire so that would need a change as well. When we're talking of such power we're talking about the 2011 platform from the 3930x up.

Thank you for the suggestion, where i'm from RMA-ing doesn't go that well so i might just get charged extra for the diagnostic/shipping. I'll use that as a last resort. Is it true that it doesn't affect the pc in anyway aside from the noise?

F10 BIOS working good, sleep working good. XMP profiles on Kingston ram working. Haven't flashed my other rig yet with the 2400 Trident ram, will do that later.
Got a piece of a ziptie or something dropped through one of my radiators and hitting a fan. Occasionally makes a sound like when we used to put cards on our bicycle spokes when I was a kid.

I got say f11 bios is stable for me but I update my bios from f7 I have not had any problems yet .

ok had my second bsod, disabling the states didn't work, what's a good version of bios for the ud3h? thank you

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
good new! hope they will give us soon...

can you test 4 sticks?????

Hi All, just got my new 3570K with Corsair Dominator Platinums and Gigabyte UD5H up and running.

Tell me, on the Debug LED is it supposed to be on A0 all the time? I'm in Windows and seemingly having no problems so far, just wondered if its supposed to be like that?

Just going through the motions of Windows Updates now, when will they release SP2 already so I can slip stream it!!

Anyway, not done much testing yet, or Overclocking just trying to get all the software on atm

I am using 12L. It is a modded bios/beta bios from TT. I am not 100% sure the new bioses 'fix' the problems many of us have, since checking the details of what's modded is almost never anything to do with the problems being experienced (at least in my case). Might be a placebo effect, lol. But it's worth a try to update any way just to see if it does for you.

What is the error code for the BSOD you're having? I've had issues with my ud3h some of which went away with the use of a spinner. That instantly told me that the SSD is a problem. I swapped my SSD to one with a different chipset but it still had some issues. They seem to have settled now (haven't had a freeze since the 9th).

My problem with the SSD was the 0xF4 BSOD in Windows 7. In Windows 8 the error is represented as a slow freeze then crash. Apps slowly stop working, though you can click them and then a sudden beep and nothing is clickable though the mouse still moves. The PC doesn't absolutely crash so there is no chance for it to write a log error. This error was thought to be fixed on July 26 I think with an update to Windows 8 but it still might happen in some cases, at least for me. For you, the error would be 0xF4 if it is the SSD. If the error is with iastor.sys or something similar then it's got something to do with your raid driver. Install the newest package you can find from Gigabyte or Intel. The newest intel chipset driver will generally be found under an Intel desktop board, they take a bit of time to post it under the general chipset section. Also make sure you update or install Rapid Storage Technology package. These are pretty important.

I can't put my finger on exactly what caused my issues to stop, but I made 2 changes just before. These are changes I had/have never made before.
The first is enabling hot swapping of the port that my SSD is on in the BIOS.
The second was disabling the superfetch service completely. I was hesitant before because I also have a spinner and it seems that my MMO loads slightly slower without it but I can live with that for now. I will be moving my games to a secondary SSD anyway once I buy it. I don't play that many games so a 60-128GB drive should do. I haven't done anything else that could have stopped my freezes so it has to be one of these.

I'm assuming you know the typical SSD primer steps but I'll put what I've done anyway. I disabled hibernation and indexing. The rest SHOULD be done by Windows 7 and 8 (disable superfetch/prefetch, readyboot, defrag of SSD, boot file defrag, etc.) so I haven't touched my registry. I'm hoping that Windows 8 really does disable all of this.

I updated to the latest bios just now, waiting for the bsod to happen:P The humming sound is still there though, i really have no idea where that would be coming from, it sounds as if it's right under the cooler. Oh and i managed to see what sys is in the blue screen, on my latest it's Intelppm.sys, if any of you have any idea what that means. Hope i'll be getting more answers. Thank you.

Oh and i have a PCI Simple Communications Controller that i can't seem to find a driver for, windows update doesn't help and i downloaded everything on the drivers part of the gb site, nothing, any ideas?

That should be covered under Intel Management Engine Interface and Intel INF installation.
Are you sure that both are installed?
