GIGABYTE X99 SOC Champion adventures

copy and pasted since the forum purge will update regularly


I always wanted this board and when i saw it abandoned in a hardware pile at a ridiculously low price i had to get it. Trying to dive right in with this board proved to be a no go, I had to start from scratch and learn how this board behaves from trying to boot with ram speeds known to work on other motherboards I've tested to making that memtest stable. Then the nightmare of trying to boot into windows lol this board is very challenging which is a good thing and all this done to make a save profile o_O this will be my torture board for the time being.
