GA-P35-DS3L: My speakers make a buzzing sound and the multiplier changes on it's own.

michaelmcgo · 03-07-2008, 04:16 PM

I just got my new computer and put it together last night. I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo, and I have a few questions about it.

First, anytime I have my speakers on, they make a horrible buzzing sound that changes in frequency as I load different programs on my computer. This leads me to believe it is an interferance problem, Are there any fixes for this?

Second, my CPU mulitplier (E2180) changes from 6X to 10X depending on the load on the CPU. I know this is some kind of power saving feature, but I can't seem to find it in the BIOS.

Third, I am attempting to overclock the E2180 to 3.0 Ghz. In the BIOS, there are a few settings that give me options such as Turbo Mode, Full-Throttle, etc. Should I monkey with these, or just set them to a certain level and be done with it. These settings are kinda cheesy, and without a description of what they do in the manual I recieved (a big sheet of paper with simple instructions), they are really useless.

Thank you,
Michaelmcgo

Definitely an interference problem somewhere. It could be something on the MoBo itself or your speakers/wires. Do you use on-board sound or have a separate sound card? Is the speaker jack completely plugged into the speaker port?

The feature you need to look for in BIOS is EIST (Enhanced Intel Speedstep Technology). If you wish to keep the CPU at a consistent speed, simply disable EIST

As far as OCing goes, I'd suggest you read up as much as you can about it (there are a few stickies/Threads on these Forums) and do it manually via BIOS settings. Much more reliable than having software do it and you learn about it in the process.

Okay, I got the EIST problem figured out. I am currently running an 8 hour test on Orthos at 3.0 Ghz. Though I am still a newbie, this is not my first time overclocking.

The buzzing is still there though. I is present in my rear audio port, and my front headphone jack. It is the same volume no matter what volume I have my speakers at.

I'm going to turn off my EIST too.Thanks guys and I didn't even have to ask why my multiply was changing by itself.
