My rig is listed at the bottom. Basically I love my rig, except two BIG problems. Both of the problems appear to be related to the mobo. I hoping for help. The problems:
1) Using power saving states like C1E leads to coil whine an extremely annoying coil whine. My system is near silent, except when power saving is enabled. This problem seems to be pretty well documented over on the hardforums. Seems to be an issue on rev2 as weel. No fix for this one except to either turn off C1E or buy a mobo from ASUS.
2) The motherboard shuts down with windows7 sleep. When put into sleep mode it either comes out of it on its own after 10-15 seconds, or if still asleep after 15 minutes, it fully shuts down.
It would be great if I could get one of these features to work. Before anyone asks, I currently have everything at stock settings and have never opened up this board to overclock in hopes of solving this first. I have tried everything I know.
Hope one of you can help.
