Other thougts:
Board and CPU runs fine, BUT don´t try to install win with USB keyboard. I recomend everyone how buys this board to update to F4D bios before installing windows. F4d fixes USB keboard issue and some other stuff, including DDR3 voltage tabel over 2,2V :D
My A-Data Viesta EE didi not work ón this board, borked 3 Vista installs. If my kit is dying or if my board does not like them, remains to be seen. Crucial Ballistix work great. And 1600Mhz divider is also solid so far. Good Work Gigabyte!
Realy quick first OC

@ Chew*
Pm me if you need more detaild screen, or of specific settings!
I think this is the best looking board I have seen, apart from the bloodrage, but thats a whole other platform.
msimax now I know why you went for Kingston memory - blue heatspreader :rofl: (it looks cool all in blue :cool:)
Also it's good to see that this board give +1.4V on IMC/L3! I hope GA will implement this option in BIOS for old 790FX-DQ6 as well.
2.3V+ for CPU is more than enough :D
BadNizze thanks for detailed pictures. Now get back to benching :up:
actually thats the catch they are hard to come by atm.Quote:

Thanks guys. Has any of you tested if Overdrive works with this board?
Did you reduce the VCORE to 1.3250V and raise the NB multiplier to 11x or is it the BIOS default?Quote:

BadNizze, thanks for all of the BIOS shots, at least I can blow them up on my screen and pretend I have my system running. :ROTF:
Figured I'd bump this with an update... got the 720BE in today, as usual I experience a brand new tiny irritating hardware issue that I've never seen the likes of before.
I build a minimum of 15-20 systems a month at work, from value box to high end workstation, and rarely do I experience a setup/install that does not have at least one minor and annoying quirk.
The BIOS = Overall nice, with a dash of annoy
With default bios settings, computer enters bios properly with my Microsoft sidewinder X6 (semi-fugly but lovable) keyboard. I can enter BIOS option "MB Intelligent Tweaker", but have no control over any fields, and BIOS is unresponsive (completely locked, escape does not work), upon reset BIOS restarts succesfully but still experiences same issue. If "Support USB Keyboard" is enabled, then F10 and Save settings, BIOS will fail to restart. Stuck at blank cursor screen, completely unresponsive. BIOS is trashed. Must be CMOS'd. After clean BIOS restart with MS keyboard replaced by Legacy POS Dell keyboard, BIOS functions perfectly and I have access to all options. This keyboard worked with my Biostar 790GX, and MS makes solid peripherals IMO, so suspicion of blame falls heavily on Gigabyte ATM.
So in summary, if I want to OC I have to switch keyboards. :rolleyes:
I am looking at it in a good way, at least the thing is up and running solid overall. A stable clean running system is worth putting up with some type of wonky BIOS bug.
Anyways, it's late so no real OC but initial impressions are good. Have my G.Skill running rated speed at DDR3-1600, and stable with stock volt OC to 3.2; I will do some further tweaking tomorrow night. It'll be interesting to see what this $155 chip will do.
Strange... msimax has some problem with DDR3-1600 setup. Here you can read about that.Quote:

I will pick up a good 3x1 gig set for benching down the line, as it is pointless for me to spend alot of loot on a set of memory that sits on a shelf for the majority of its life save hardcore amphetamine
filled benching sessions.
IandH, good to hear its doing well for you, I had a problem with my saitek and an abit board, took me a while to diagnose it, fear would start getting choppy sound would start to gargle and eventually game and pc would freeze, slapped a ps2 keyboard on it and voila problem solved, hurray for legacy devices...
I feel exactly the same as you as far as ram sticks go. I've had the same experiences... in fact the reason I purchased these was so I could have a cheap n'easy "guaranteed to work" set to start out with. Now I can purchase an exotic kit for benching when a good deal pops up and not have to worry about compatibility or stability.Quote:

720 BE doing 3.4 semi-table @ 1.375vcore and 3.6 stable @ 1.45vcore w/NB & SB bump. Did quick 20min OCCT on each. I'll run 1hour later on when I am eating dinner. Multi only OC, all other settings running default besides manual set mem to 1600
Nothing amazing yet but very satisfactory.
So far very stable CPU voltage on this board, slightly under but no discernable vdroop at this voltage/load.
Do let us know if the NB clocking actually works. I've read numerous accounts of it not working etc refusing to boot.Quote:
