Well, I have just recieved my UD3P, the board looks nice, but like always Gigabyte thought that most of users are color-blind.
In comparison to my previous motherboard (ga-x48-ds4) this one have almost twice the options I had before. And that is good from a side and bad (just for now) from other side, because I dont know what does some of those options. And good because I can touch a little bit more.
I attach my Bios options, where I just move slightly some numbers.
And also I bring up (in red fonts) the options wich I dont know what they do, so if someone dont bother, could give me a little explanation.
Thanks in advance.
