EDITED - now completed fixed. Update BIOS to latest, go to Advanced in UEFI, find acoustic management options, and try the following settings:

I noticed some coil whine on my x570 crosshair viii impact and changing VRM switching frequency from Auto to Optimize help a lot. Now i need to have my ears 1cm from board to hear it.

Still there. No change for me unfortunately.
Even at stock bios settings without OC it's the same noise, and same problems with windows power modes.
Only Sync-All-Core OC with auto or static voltage or disabled C-States solves the issue and makes power modes work properly.

I forgot all about this thread. The day after my post, my coilwhine was back, even with the lighting service terminated, so that clearly wasn't the issue.

If I disable C states, as others mentioned, I get no coilwhine, but I don't want to do this as I want low power idle.

@shamino - I'm using the "0013" BIOS (dated 15th April) currently, still have coilwhine with that (though it did fix my random 'watchdog' BSOD crashes) - is it worth me trying the "0037" version you posted here, since that's presumably older?

Hi Shamino,

Is there a solution yet to this Coil Whine issue? That is not a Beta version?

It seems you work at Asus, I am just trying to get a clear answer to what is happening. I already sent my first HERO XIII board back due to the board noise VRM/Coil whine and I got another board and its the same. I tried to contact customer service but there is no phone lines and emails came back to send the back/RMA.

At the moment this situation does not seem right and I would like to know if there will be a fix for this issue.

Thanks

I think the ehaviour with power modes is normal.

Also, just built a system with a TUF Z590 Plus Wifi, updated to the latest BIOS, CPU is a 10700K, all stock, coil whine is more widespread than it is on the M13H I have, meaning it's present almost all the time, although reduced, while on the Hero it was present only in certain scenarios.

So far, no coil whine on my new system. Running an i9 11900k using the 605 Bios. I am using both CPU power plugs.

No Overclock except I think my 4000 memory is being run at 4700.. Since NVMe drives can be the source of certain noises, I am running a Samsung 980 Pro..
