    Great going guys nice to see a couple of these board running and people getting better overclocks. Nice pics as well.

    It does sound like the bios needs to be refined a little. I wonder Vcore is really that far off at the 1.6v volt setting or if Easy Tune is giving a false reading. The only way to check for sure is to measure the vcore directly. Ether way, I'm sure Gigabyte will fix the problem.

    Gigabytes are usually a little lame when it comes to the amount of vcore and vdimm you can give. I doubt a bios change is going to give more than the 2.3vdimm you have atm. The good thing is that Gigabytes are usually very easy to volt mod.

    Too bad they're not for sale in the US, I'd love to give one of these a try.

    Anyway, keep up the good work. Nice to see something new from AMD running well

    I'm finally up and running!
    Funny thing I didn't needed Windows reinstall!

    OK! Couple of pics for you guys before I will dive into tweaking quite scary BIOS options!


    Overlay look at board+Ultra


    Ultra 120 Extreme and my BallistiX are as close as they can be


    A metal back plate did worked brilliantly! No PCB bending at all!


    Look how perfectly southbridge heatsink fits under HD2900!

    That's how it is when you're not reading manual !
    I swapped DIMMs for DC now....

    PS. Quick HTT test, not MAX yet! Just a blind shot at default voltages for everything!
