more results and benches man, its addictive and actually quite easy!

idk i have a science background, in school i was always in labs so messing with dry ice and liquid n2 isn't new to me. cooling computers subzero isn't either you just gotta get used to teh platform being under 0C

Sweet!

I bet it's just easy because of how awesome the board is

Out of interest, if you bench with this board again do you think you could see what the maximum bclks are with a lower multiplier? Just a little curious thats all.

[sin0822]

yea i was able to do around 236 without slow mode with my gulfty. A friend of mine was able to do in the 240s with his gulfy and this board without slow mode.

Good start!! and you really put alot in your reviews.
As far as insulation goes - it's different strokes for different folks.
All I use is vasolene and paper towels. I'm too lazy for eraser. But I have to agree with others - Don't mix eraser and grease.

Thanks man that really means a lot coming from you! I remember you from when i joined up back in 04, yea i am always learning, i think next time i will just use conformal coat, eraser on the main parts and di-electric grease on the others, just not with the eraser!

Hey guys, so if anyone is out there looking to buy this board, you can get $100 off at newegg, $50 rebate, and $50 with the promo code "GAX58AOC" Gulftown benching is still strong!

I goes it brings the board down below original thought price.

[Hondacity]

promo code doesn't work

LOL at one of the reviews, it's not a bios issue but the 920 silicone. They do not all consistently clock to 4GHz properly hence why OC button doesn't support it

Check your processor...

Pros: Looks great on paper..preview testing. Lots of features.

Cons: The 4.0 overclock button does NOT support the I7-920 processor (according to the manual, P. 22). Only I7-930 and up. This is a real disappointment for me as I had planned to buy this board and waited specifically for it.

Other Thoughts: Hopefully this is merely an early release BIOS problem. Any comment Gigabyte?

[Hondacity]

newegg reviews? hahahahahahah

they're the sh...ittiest reviews!!! hahaha

[sin0822]

I am pretty sure its : GAX58AOC . Let me check again

[Hondacity]

now it works. weird that i had to pay 400+ for it, now its 250+

gigabutt really sucks

[sin0822]

you paid over 400+ when did it cost that much?????

[Hondacity]

maybe when you do your reviews, you should look at the current price when you do the review.

[sin0822]

I thought it was $380?
