    I have Found that you cannot run the Gigabyte EasyTune utility and MBM at the same time, it screws up the temp readings. I was trying to check MBM's results against Easytunes and was freaked out when they both started reading 95c.

    *** Official Gigabyte 8KNXP/Ultra (875P) Thread ***

    Dark room + bright flashing amber light + Clear side panel case = annoying. I already have enough LED's and digital displays in my room to land a 747, plus I just don't like the idea of this thing being active 24/7 and it makes my router active too.

    Does anyone know if there is a way to power down the LAN port when the computer is off. It blinks away all night and is a bit distracting.
