Recommend a sck 754 AGP buzz\coil noise free?

Post by DG » Sun Oct 09, 2005 3:32 am

I need a mobo that does not buzzes or makes any coil noise when in use, for the 754 socket with AGP 8x...
Any opinions on this?

Thx.

I second that. Need precisely this advice as well.

I've used both the DFI Lanparty UT nF3 250Gb and ASUS K8V-X, and neither exhibited any coil whine. However, the Chaintech VNF3-250 I used before either of these would whine/chirp whenever the onboard ethernet was being used. After some searching on the net, I found out that this is a pretty common issue.

But really, I think any board can whine under the right circumstances.

Hope this is relevant to your post...

Cant recommend one that doesn't whine, but I just cured coil whine on a NF7 I recently purchased.

Last weekend I heatsinked the mosfets, and for that matter everything else that produced heat on my MB. I was aiming to solve a stabilty issue, but as luck would have it I seemed to accidently solved my noise issue with the board.

Anyone else tried this? Want to know if it was a fluke...

Took me about 3 or 4 hours to cut up old p2 heatsinks and stick them to the board if anyone else is tempted to give it a try. Pretty sure the system became more stable although I heatsinked the memory at the same time, so it might have been memory problems that were bothering me before.

My Asus K8V SE Deluxe has silent coils.

I remember when I was on s754 which was only about a month or two, but all the boards I had (msi, epox, and chaintech) had that coil whine.... I obviously couldn't take it, so I finally went to s939, and no more noise :S

I've used the DFI Lanparty UT 250GB and the Asus K8N-E Deluxe. No coile whine on either NForce 3 motherboards. I stuck with the Asus because it could undervolt better than the DFI.
