Has anyone else had a problem with Energy Saver that came with this mobo? I've been running it and it seems after an undetermined amount of time it crashes and generates a 'ton' of crash windows....like 30 or so. I've emailed Gigabyte but they want me to try a different OS or a different BIOS...

yes sir, if you add .4 volts to 1.8 volts you get 2.2 volts, which is your ram manufacturers recommended voltage.

I have an older IDE drive connected and also a RAID 0 on the Gigabyte SATA ports and with the Gigabyte SATA configured for 'enabled' and 'raid/ide' the IDE device works fine. The other SATA ports are set for AHCI and are my DVD burner, Boot Drive, and Storage Drive....all is good. I've also...

One thing that I found confusing about setting up the BIOS that might help others during config is that if you enable AHCI for the SATA ports, you have to go back into the AHCI BIOS and setup the boot order again. Probably a newbie mistake but it might help somone.

Well, here I am, online with my new X48 with Vista 64 installed...seems to work VERY well. I didn't mess with the heat pipe like I did with the 680i, and just installed my Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro and get as good or better than the Ultima90i I had installed before. WOO HOO!

Hello everyone, moving over from the other Gigabyte thread now that I'm an X48 owner...

I didn't hear from them, I emailed Chuck a couple days after I saw my mobo was received and he emailed back immediatly with my tracking number for the X48 which was sent the same day they received mine.

Woo Hoo, should have my X48 by Thursday!!!

I was just contacted from Chuck as well, and sent him the info he requested, my ball is rolling. I did request an advanced replacement with the offer of a contingency fee, I use this rig for my business as well as my entertainment, losing it for a couple weeks is a tough loss, hopefully...

I actually received a call from Leo today, didn't have an opportunity to chat with him, but he sounds like a calm individual so that will be nice. SLI isn't in my future, but an Extreme Quad is, so I think the X48 will be ok for me.

Is the n790i the socket 775 which you have right now?

How long could I expect it will take to be contacted by Leo?

Well, I'm SOL, I've modified my board to fit my Ultima90 cooler on it. If they require all the 'stuff' that came with it, f#$k that. Gigabyte makes some good boards, but I think I'm done with them as well as recommending them to others. So long Gigabyte and it's been 'sorta' nice knowing...

I just loaded the FBc Bios for the REV. 2 boards and with the same settings as the FA bios everything seems stable. I do notice that with the memory SLI enabled with a 0% overclock the post reads memory running at 1001 rather than 1066 as with bios FA. I'll be the first to admit I'm sorta a...

I bought the Athlon 64 X2 5000+ Black Edition
