Ive got the Asrock 775dual-vsta and the 775i65g...Id say do the upgrade its only 15$...you'll get more bandwith with a full PCIe 16 and Im hoping a lil more stability...The 775dual-vsta which I have sucks with some newer vid cards even after flashing it to the latest bios 3.19a.
on a side...
In for one!! now all my old processors have a home. I was just wondering what sort of video cards this mobo can run...PCI Express x16 doesnt necessarily mean it can run the latest and greatest which are PCI Express x16 2.0 does it? Any list for supported graphics cards flying around?
Just to stop any confusion which some people might have...you DID NOT miss a deal on free shipping of fans and heatsinks at newegg because this thread is over a YEAR OLD :shocked:.
I was thinking to myself how the hell did I miss something like that and just realized oh ok this thread is...
LOL, wierd cas 7:shocked:? wtf hmm maybe not that HOT of a deal anymore. According to some reviewers on newegg they were able to get to the specified speed with some tweaking. For 21 dollars and some knowledge of bios tweaking its still a decent deal :)
side note: for all those people that...

I recommend this cooler for 14 bucks you cant go wrong. Like I4AT I wish I could buy another one :). Just remember for any one buying this ITS FREAKING HUGE.
On a side note I have my zen in a push pull configuration. I have my q6600 (1.325 VID) vcc 1.3875 at 3.4ghz with idle around mid 30's...
According to the reviews on many OCZ products it seems the company is pretty shady with their rebates. I personally dont know as of yet because my rebate which I sent out a few weeks ago on a different product hasnt been sent to me yet(keeping finger crossed). So I suppose the best advice to...
GA-EP45-UD3P is now back to $99.99 after rebate and free shipping. I highly recommend the board. On a side note Id also recommend going to Gigabyte's website and download the latest Bios, Chipset driver, and lan driver rather then using the drivers Cd which comes with the Mobo.
I 2nd I4At the Zen cooler fits perfectly with plenty clearance...You might want to change the fan once you get the cooler with more air flow and less noise. :)
