currently is the only way if you want to go z68 and take advantages of it

that's what i did, gene-z and tj08-e... like you i come from this shitty zotac motherboard

noise has started again, board sent back for a refund :( hope to get the asrock soon

[update] i'm testing my new motherboard right now, no noise so far... it's a rev 002 board

ok so you've a rev 002 and the noise is present, right?

got it from a retailer i'll let you know when i'm back from vacation :)

got my new z68itx today after rma, i think it's a new revision and will you explain why... main changes are on the back of the board with different hi-c caps in different locations, also the digit led post seems to be different rev 000 back http://i.imgur.com/hXA8A.jpg rev 001...

i wrote to zotac about this issue http://www.zotacusa.com/forum/topic/4930-zotac-z68itx-a-e-buzzing-noise/, maybe, since my english is far from perfect, you can help me and write your experience too :)

i read here that buzzing noise can be fixed by disabling energy efficency option through bios http://forums.itxgamer.com/viewtopic.php?p=574#p574 can you try and tell us if it works? :)

new bios, this time for the a-e version of the board!! :) :) :) http://www.zotac.com/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=1347&Itemid=100032 Version 2K110809 (Beta) .Added intel XMP memory support .Added CPU Vcore control .Added deep S3 control .Modified Turbo Boost mode -...

got the same problem whit my z68itx, currently waiting for a replacement :( hope it's not a "feature" of these boards...

if it's not the heat on motherboard components such as vrms maybe is some kind of useless power protection: when a certain amount of watt is exceeded multiplier goes down... just a theory based on what i heard from some owner of other z68 boards :D however the gpu thing is soo strange and makes...

what multiplier did you get running occt linpack test? how are you cooling your cpu-mobo?

i only increased these 3 values but 4,5 it's not stable: after about 20-30 seconds of load at 4,5 ghz, turbo multiplier goes back and remains to 43x... maybe some sort of protection applied by the motherboard or i have to increase turbo power and voltage... be careful because these values are...

why such a bundle for a z68 board? if i want to build a htpc i'll just go with h67 and low power cpus like i3s
