Gigabyte MA790FX DQ6

BTW: I'm a Gigabyte MA790FX-DS5 owner now.

(I just have to wait for Newegg to RMA my 9850 before I can enjoy quadness.)

Sadly I found out the local "enthusiast" store had them in stock on release day. If I'd have bought this Gigabyte AND the 9850 there instead of on Newegg... I'd be up and running. (They were only $5.00 more than Newegg on price.)

Hi,

I have to laugh cause I'm in the same situation as you are. I followed your posts with interest.

My DFI M2R and 9850BE went TU after I ran lm-sensors (Linux mobo monitoring utility). I thought it was the DFI board, so I RMAd it, and am still waiting for that to resolve. I was dying to run the 9850, so I ordered the lesser DFI mobo(M2RS) from Newegg. Then I found, courtesy of a friend and an available computer to test, that the 9850BE was dead. It's now winging it's way to Whittier CA for RMA review. Quadaciousness is at least a week away.

I almost went with the Gigabye DS5, but decided to stick with DFI . The M2RS reviews at Newegg don't mention a C1 error. Interesting that the M2RS uses all solid capacitors like the Gigabye Ultra Durable series.

Good luck with your DS5.
