Gigabyte technical support, on the other hand, takes about twice as long as MSI to reply and when they do it wasn't very helpful... the Gigabyte technical support staff is not integrated with their Engineering staff, which is rather annoying. MSI technical support could supply the latest BIOS and even get a custom feature into a BIOS like PCIe frequency select on the K9A2 Platinum. So I'll score Gigabyte low on the technical support, but very high for a very stable motherboard. I went through 4 MSI K9A2 Platinum (AMD) boards before I got a stable one, I only bought one GA-X48T-DQ6!

Question : I am looking for a newer BIOS than F5c. I have F5c stable on 4x2gb DDR3-1600 memory and I want to move the FSB to 450, but I cannot because in BIOS F5c the FSB selector is always disabled. Do you have a F5d or F5e you can send me?
