Gigabyte GA-P67A-UD5 Discussion Thread

**C-N** · 12-22-2010, 01:28 AM

Hi all,

I just got this board & an i5 2500K a couple days ago & thought I'd make a new thread to start us UD5 owners off.

I've reserved a couple spaces at the front for useful information & if this thread gets a following I'll try to keep all the good bits at the front.
