What kind of glue did you use?Quote:

What about regular hot gun glue?
and do you cover the whole choke? won't the glue melt though, cause those things get really hot!

Never tried it with a glue gun. However, the choke is made of ceramic and metal so temperature shouldn't be an issue IMO.
I just touched mine and they are pretty cool. I think im gonna try hot glue :DQuote:

Yep, just put my finger on one of the chokes and can't hold it on there for more then two seconds :(
If I use hot glue, it'll definitely melt! maybe house goop?
Tried the glue trick and it didn't work :(
First i take a screwdriver ( very small one ) and moved the copper around the ceramic donut , so that the copper is equaly over the donut
Then i push hard at it and glueded with hot glue ( coils are cold here )
Tried that too, still didn't do anything :mad:Quote:

I think I might have to get a new board :(
Thats what i am also afraid,the theory coming true...!Quote:

For how long is your board glued and in what part ?
I really dont want to waste my mobo....:rolleyes:

I don't think you have to cover the whole thing. Just 1 side, maybe? You might try partial coverage first to see if it helps. As long as the glue goes through the whole choke to the PCB, it will usually help IMO.
I have the same problem on my 8KDA3J too, and it's really annoying. So I thought I should give the glue trick a shot.
But how do I know the glue is not conductive?
my seagate hdd sounds like that i have sended it back 3times and im gonna send it back tomorrow again still beeping, its an 160gb s-ata hdd and i have asked if they could replace it with an western digital instead
RMA 4 times !?! ...its obvious its not the problem of the HDD...Quote:

what would it be then?
every time i have sent it in a have got another one
i secured the vdd vcore and vdimm mods on my a7n8 deluxe rev2.0 with superglue and secured the wires fro and to the solder spots, the solder spots themselves, the pots and the meassureing cables to check vdimm vdd and vcore all with super glue!Quote:

that was like 1 year ago and the board is still running fine without any sign of corrosion :)
i used "pattex blitz gel" its not liquid but sort of creamy wich makes it easier to apply as it doesnt run down or drop off, and it glues stuff in a second literally when you press the two parts together!
I've tried everything now, including the glue trick.
I'm thinking about soldering off the chokes and buy some chokes similar ti them, which hopefully will be more quiet. But how do I measure a choke?
Update: Hey guys, I've done some research on this and I think that painting the chokes with nail-varnish could quiet those bastards.
Gonna try it out as soon as I get my board back from RMA.
Plz post your results once you get your board back :DQuote:

Zeus: Red of course! All fine ladies have red varnish :D
Update#2: Hey guys; try this out: Disable your integrated NIC and listen for the sound. I've been talking a couple of guys who don't use the integrated NICs, and their boards are quiet as stones.
Or can anyone just kill my theory by telling me that they get the noice without using the NIC?
The noise still there even after disabling the integrated NIC :(
Today i try glue/silicon trick on my Epox 8KDA3J , but anyone know hows with others nforce3 based boards , im espeicaly interested is DFI LanParty III UT have same problem.
For now i had Epox 8KDA3J and MSI K8N Neo FSR both are unaceptable for quiet computer ( theyre laudest part of my box atm ).

What's interesting about this is that i only get the annoying high pitch whine when using my mouse wheel, or when accessing the network/internet over the on-board lan. Damn bloody annoying it is. Will try the above suggestions in an attempt to find the cause.
I RMA:d my board, and now I've got a new one which is Rev 2.2, and the sound is gone!
They've rearranged the mosfet area and there are now 3 chokes instead of 2.
