I CRACKED it: Updated BIOS to latest, F6b. Whisper quiet now with side panels finally back on. It seems a lot of others complained about this and Gigabyte responded (link in top of message):

Only remaining issues I still currently have are are:
1. The fans/ MOBO fan revs up load again for a few seconds upon restart or booth before settling down to near silent. I hope I can tweak this as that is quite startling and distracting.
2. One or more fan(s) (possibly the MOBO) inside, though very quiet, is of a certain frequency that jars me a lot : / I am extremely sensitise to sound(s) and have very good hearing so I ideally need to quell this, if possible.
3. Finally, I am bummed about is the coil whine from my Corsair RM750X (only when powered off, at least. But this should be the easiest thing to rectify. The RMXXX is regarded as a top PSU and certainly dead quiet, which is one of the main reasons I chose it over the EVGA Gold, which seems to be it's main competitor. Either they are all like this or I got unlucky. Will research and see what is what - I can always return it and try another unit/ different model.
So from dead in the sand and feeling utterly dejected, worn - I even had bloody nightmares last night - and depressed, to happy and proud. @Topmetom 2, in this case, after all that time and energy, I would have liked if this was built for me; but I would have have to trade time for money (more cost to have built), and loose the valuable experience as well as feeling of triumph gained. Nothing like doing it yourself.
Time for a drink and back to madVR, the main reason I did this for.
Man... it does feel nice having built a proper PC again, I also did a top job with my cable management inside, it looks superb, and boy, that RTX 2080 Super Gaming X Trio looks gorgeous - I am not into LEDs and all that jazz normally, but I see the appeal here and I think I will stick to purchasing a windowed side panel to try out/ swap on the fly.
@Topmetom 2, thanks for dropping by here today, always welcomed and grateful, man - I highly recommend a similar build (or lower spec, I went medium-high/ high spec because of the great deal on the 2080 I got and to have some fun with 4K gaming, plus I know I can push madVR as much as I want now) to get you onto madVR bliss.
@techquest, nice to meet a new acquaintance on here, man. Thank you again so much. |
