Q9550 doesn't support Hyperthreading. 4 physical cores are available.

You could unhide some settings by pressing Ctrl+F1 in the main menu before.

Hyper threading was once introduced with the second wave P4 processors, with 2 logical cores. This motherboad doesn't support P4, it was build that way. So this is some artefact that was left in the manual, common to all motherboards, but no longer available on this model.

Thanks for the reply, that cleared my confusion.

These noises are normally due to the PSU, a new one, larger or different model normally fixes the issue.

Disable C1E and EIST normally stops the sounds if you can't get a better PSU.

Also uninstall DES and disable easytune from startup if you use it, and disable the startup service for it as well - I suggest StartupCPL to do this, it will install into your control panel

I have that same board (rev 1.0) with a Corsair TX 750W and do not hear any noises, so you're probably right that it may be a PSU + mobo combination problem.

check with default bios setting.. C1E and EIST enable! vcore (Auto) (NO OC)
the motherboard I would have to be able to use all options available that has .. not have to disable something that works well ... we agree? in my country this motherboard costs $320

MrTweak.

I am new to this amazing forums and I already read a lot of useful info.

But one thing I cannot get a proper answer for.

Yesterday I bought a GA-X58A-UD5 Rev. 2.0 and I will build it into my case as soon as I have some time this week.

My question is:
I own an Intel SSD X25 M postville, on which SATA port it's the best to connect, shall I use SATA3 Marvel for this or the ICH10 SATA2.

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Lsdmeasap]

I suggest you use SATA2_0 for your OS SSD, this is the first Intel port.

[wakuwaku]

Thanks, I will try it as soon as I start building the rig.

Good luck with the setup, be sure to align your SSD
