    How am I ment to work with Gigabyte when they dont return emails.

    Hi Jefalogs, The swap program is no longer active, as the X48 board is now EOL'ed. I spoke with our APAC division and they will get in contact with you directly to discuss. I believe you already put in a request with Alex. Send me a PM if you don't hear from them.

    How am I ment to work with Gigabyte when they dont return emails.

    This is only a guess, but according to his posts on TweakTown forums, LeeKay is using 6 modules of unsupported memory running at 1600MHz, 7-8-7-20, 1.9v. Mentioning that to RMA, I would assume, is why they told him to go into the forums to ask for help, as they can't officially offer any...

    Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 POST issues

    As mentioned in the other X48-DQ6 thread, please carefully read the memory voltage settings according to your mem. manufacturer. It is strange that GEIL put wrong spec on package. GIGABYTE when designing our boards has followed Intel design guidelines regarding mem volts at default. However...

    Where Are The Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 Motherboards?

    Hi Guys, Just a quick message. The 790i board has been delayed one week, so we are looking at mid July. The reason for the delay is due purely to scheduling. Best Regards, Colin

    Why does Gigabyte cripple their high-end mobos?

    Hi VirtualLarry, Sorry you feel that way, but you need to understand that not every user has the same computing needs that you do. Some people do not want to pay extra money for some features they do not need. Do we ignore these customers by only making motherboards with every available...

    No Gigabyte 780i or 790i Motherboard?

    Hi MrAk, Yes, I am Technical Marketing manager at our headquarters in Taipei. Unless there is any last minute delay, we are still looking good for early July on the shelves. We originally planed this time frame as we wanted to get Intel P45 development done first. The 790i chipset's main...

    No Gigabyte 780i or 790i Motherboard?

    Hi MrAK, We decided to forgo the 780i board as this was basically same chipset as 680i. We are however still on schedule to have our 790i at the end of June/beginning of July. Best Regards, Colin

    Why does Gigabyte cripple their high-end mobos?

    Hi Mr. Virtual Larry, The reason for not including the additional SATA controller on our X48-DS4 and X38-DS4 is to allow for product segmentation between the DS4 and DS5 (For the P35 motherboards, we didn't have a DS5 model). If you are really interested in the additional 2 SATA support, I...

    The latest BIOS version is F7f, but the file name should read: x48dq6.f7f. If it does, you should be fine.

    Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

    Hey Guys, Sorry about the late reply, as I was out of the office on Mon and Tues. The reason why we haven't released an official BIOS, is that some of you guys are still reporting some spiking with the beta fix. The engineers are still testing and I'll let you know what they find. They are...

    Gigabyte Boards and DPC Latency

    Hi Cactusdog, According to our testing report from engineers I'm looking at now, the F9b does dramatically fix the issue. Can you send me your detailed system config including any add-on cards as well as a screen cap showing the dropouts on your system using F9b?

    DS3L Bios Updating

    Hi Mr. Cragfin, It depends on which model you have (GA-P35-DS3L (Rev 1 or 2) or GA-EP35-DS3L). My suggestion is to go to the product page of your specific board on the gigabyte website. On the right menu bar, go to CPU Support List. It will tell you the first BIOS version to offer support for...

    Mr. KillerG, As I suggested. If you are really interested in a solution, then contact us. Otherwise go your legal route. You mentioned you already did, so I'm not sure what it is you want trying to accomplish by furthering this conversation here. If you are wanting to me to argue with you...

    Hi Mr KillerG I just wanted to reply to a quote from your earlier post: "Don?t care it is GB?s fault for not making it right for the consumer." How can we make it right for a consumer who hasn't contacted us about fixing the problem? I guess you have decided to go the legal route, which is...

    Hi Guys, I want to repeat you don't need the ship in the original packaging. It is only highly recommended that you do so so it doesn't get damaged in shipping. If you don't have the original packaging, please send in a box and packing material that will protect the board, especially the...

    Hi JAGGERWILD and all, The email you received about the shipping back your motherboard is normal RMA procedure. The email is more a warning to ensure people take adequate care of wrapping their board for shipping. If you have the original packaging, that is obviously best. You wouldn't...

    Hey Guys, The US/Canada region is the first to implement, but the other regions will quickly follow. It will take a few days to contact all regions, so you might have to wait a little bit longer before talking to RMA. As Taiwan has a holiday on Friday, it will probably be early next week...

    These BIOS are not a fix for 1333 Quads...In these later BIOS versions, I believe support was removed...but they may fix some other issues you guys have been having. Also not sure if these address the DMI issue, but I am trying to replicate and will let you know my results.

    Hey Guys...Colin here from GIGABYTE. Sorry, haven't responded in a bit, but was out of the office sick on Friday. Just want to give a status update. First, I want to clear up some misconceptions about the F5g BIOS I sent to TT to post. As I mentioned to them, it was in no way "the solution"...
