Gigabyte EX58-UD5/Extreme Discussion Thread

i was told at stock settings they are 220W

i will actually do some testing if i eventually get the replacement card with a dual setup power consumption and then single card and take out the difference as a representation of Wattage draw from one card

would that be right do you think

sure that would work, i did the same with the X2 review from techreport. Thats where i have my ~300W numbers from.

@ white slots

Well guys, read the manual, its on page 17, you MUST populate the white slots (DDR3_1, DDR3_3, DDR3_5) at first if you want to run triple channel. Else the memory controller switches to dual channel mode and you lose one stick.

It is no wired issue, its designed that way.
