Looking for a new motherboard?
Hey, your 8700k in the Gigabyte Arous Master Z390 is having some annoying coil whine when you move your mouse. You've tried different mice, a new power supply, better grounding, and even swapped cables, but nothing helped. In BIOS, disabling C-states stopped the issue this time, which is good news. However, now you're stuck with the whine again, and after trying everything from Rockstar to updates, it's frustrating. You're considering downgrading to a lower model but still dealing with the same problem. You're looking for a good gaming board that fits your setup—32GB RAM, 2070 RTX, and you don't want to overclock. Price isn't the main concern for you. What board would work best?
You already own a solid motherboard with excellent VRM, minimal heat, and strong overclocking potential. The Auro Master Z390 is a solid choice—maybe you should consider returning it if you can't find something even better. It's a subpar motherboard overall, but it's the best you've got right now.
Several people have noticed the excellent customer service at Gigabyte when handling returns or replacements.
