ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 - noisy ethernet
Just got an ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 - very low noise set up, solid state hard disk, antec P182 case, thermalright ultra 120 copper heatsink, XFX Nvidia GTX260 black edition (might have to change the heat sink on this but seems ok for now)
Everything is nice and quiet - except the network on the motherboard!
Whenever its accessing the network (and since I have a iscsi drive plus a large NAS store this is often) there is a whine from the network ports.
I'm not quite certain what is causing it, possibly the relay to the leds?
Any suggestions anyone?
Or know of any PCI or 4x PCI-E network cards which wont have this problem?
Thanks
Simon

I heard of similar problems on a Gigabyte UD5 board. There was a whining sound when a network cable was plugged in, dont know if it was only during data transfer.
The problem was however solved by using the drivers on the gigabyte site instead of the newest realtek drivers from the realtek site.
Dont know if it helps...

Are you sure it's the network? New motherboards with powerful voltage regulations sometimes suffer of "coil whine". Here's a long discussion: [snip]
I can't post the link because the forum says "You must have 3 posts before you can post URL's/Links.". But if you google "noisy choke" you will find a discussion at tweaktown:
