KillerG - I totally understand KillerG's point and tend to agree with him actually. The trade for the GA-X48-DQ6 is not a perfect match as far as options and will not work for everyone. I'm willing to do with less since there is no other option but others may wish to not settle. I don't...

Colin - I have all of my info but i was waiting to see what happened with a few people also. The ONLY thing I have changed on mine is the main cooler for the CPU. I put a big cooler master cooler on there to allow for better cooling. This board is flawless and un changed otherwise and I...

I also got contact from Chuck at Gigabyte and i'm in line to get the X48-DQ6 as well. I got my email with RMA and shipping info as well. Now I just need to send my board off to them. Smitty

Same thing for me, I talked to Chuck at Gigabyte and sent him all of my info in email. This morning I woke up to instructions on sending my board back as well as an RMA # to reference. I'm guessing it will be a few days until I get my machine torn apart and board shipped off. Smitty

I also got a call from Leo from Gigabyte confirming that they will swap out the 680i board with the GA-X48-DQ6 board. They aren't sure on the details as far as shipping the boards back and forth but he will contact me once they figure that out. I really hope they just take credit card info and...

WAKE UP GIGABYTE! You need to swap these 680i boards out with an X48-DQ6 or 790iSLI-DQ6 for people! No one is going to accept some 3 week turn around time repair only to see it come back and not work or have more problems after the repair. It's simple, you built something that doesn't do...

I got a call back from Leo at Gigabyte and he said they have not decided if they want trade to an X48 board or what they want to do. He said he will call as soon as he gets more information. I don't like the feel of this. Now I'm waiting for him to call me back in a day or two it looks like...

I'm waiting on my call from Leo late tonight to see if they will let us trade in. If they will let me I will make sure to get a case number. I am aware that the X48-DQ6 is DDR2 memory, that's exactly why I want it. Totally agree, the DDR3 would be a huge waste of money right now. Smitty

I think that would be a nice solution as well , but I'm not sure I want to buy a whole set of DDR3 memory when i have nice DDR2 PC-8500 right now. I would personally like to have the SLI and all fo the features I have with the 680i but who knows how the next Nvidia SLI / Gigabyte will fair, any...

I just got off the phone with Leo from Gigabyte again. He is putting in the request with the big bosses in Tawain to swap it out with the GA-X48-DQ6. The reason he called me and everyone else so late on the phone was not to be rude but to call us as soon as he found out. The time...

I'm pretty sure I can run a SINGLE 8800 GTX card on the GA-X48-DQ6 but never have multiple video cards work in it. no biggie for me. This is the only upgrade path I will take really. I don't want to spend more money or change things around. It's already going to be a pain to pull the board...

I hear ya on the teaming but at this point I don't see myself using teaming right away and I don't want to miss out on an opportunity to swap this board out. If they don't get the teaming fixed.. I will fight again and get the X48 swapped out down the road! HA HA! Basically.. i'll take the...

Beagle - The X48 board you have looks like a nice trade for this 680i if they will do it. I'm not sure what I will do if they don't to be honest. I posted it on the X48 thread of yours but I wanted other people to bein the loop on this thread as well. Will the GA X48 DQ6 board that...

Yea.. just looked it up.. no SLI but otherwise it looks like a good upgrade from the 680i as long as I can run my Nvidia 8800 GTX in it.
