I have the A04 motherboard and A07 bios, still have the whine.. I guess I have to go the replacement route..

Should we make a petition to Dell and ask Dell to seriously face this issue? Their attempt to make a new motherboard is great but this new motherboard still can't solve the whine issue.

When I got my M1330 I had to have 2 replacements, both had CPU whine.

Ok I got the whine noise on the Southbridge too. I received my computer in september, with mobo Rev A01. Jsut got it replaced yesterday with Rev A6, hoping for the whine to go off... and know what.. It didn't disappear!!! The tech was like... ok check it in Safe Mode, because it only happens in the OS, as you have noticed... and god... it was not there. As soon as i went in Normal mode in the OS the whine was back, I am using Win XP Pro SP2, Dell Edition, with all the Dell drivers... what a surprise... this is driving me nuts!!!! And as you can see it is driver related (Safe mode doesn't use drivers).
