Gigabyte GA-EX58A-UDXX Release date?

[jalyst]

I was informed by staff at OcUK that these boards have been ditched altogether, this came from a Gigabyte rep aledgedly..

Was really looking forward to these boards as well...

Grrrr the tards!!!

Well I'm just going to get the current revsion top-of-the-range Gbyte then.
I'm sick of waiting!!!

@ bill, Which country are you in mate?

Gigabyte RMA service is top notch in the UK, I have NEVER heard a single person complain about them in the UK mate..

I have sent 2 mobos back to them in the past, and they were really good imo..

Also I have chatted with their online support people several times regarding my UD5 and they have done quite a lot to help me out to, and responded extremely quickly as well, I really can't fault them at all.

@ jalyst, which mobo are you current using mate?

I thought you had the UD5???

If not, then the UD5 is an excellent choice for an X58 mobo..

yeah I'll prolly get it, by all accounts (so far) the -ultra is just an ePenis extender.

I have great news, so be happy guys!! Direct news from Taiwan has arrived

Just not sure yet if I can spread the full details yet, so I have asked again to be sure if I can let everyone know the full scoop or not yet.

Be assured though, what has been rumored is untrue!

I will keep you posted once I know if I can tell the full details or not

**************************************

And I MUST Disagree with the RMA comments as well.

I help MANY Gigabyte customers and so I hear about RMA's often and have never heard of any bad experiences, at least in the US anyway. Really I have not heard of any personally elsewhere either. Everyone says 2-3 weeks and things went very smoothly, that's all I ever hear. Sounds about the same as any RMA really, faster then some I think too.

[jalyst]

Oh that's a relief, can't wait to hear, maybe there's a few extra surprises? Yay!

[DavyBoy]

This is good to hear man!

Step to P55 or wait for X58 revision?

[jalyst]

Depends on what your needs are, don't wait for x58 revision if all you need is P55.
I need an X58-based mobo for VT-d, but for OC'ers etc, this feature is irrelevant.
Although some of the others guys may say you need x58 for OC reasons, I wouldn't know.

So Lsdmeasap have you heard back from your friend yet?
My wallet is getting really itchy! ;-P

[Lsdmeasap]

If you are waiting on X58 then all I can say now is wait..... for sure!

Sorry I can't offer the details he shared with me yet as he has not replied back to me yet. He is busy catching up with work I assume.

Like I said the news is good, he was in a hurry when he replied to me as he just got back from a long business trip, so not sure if he meant for me to share the details of the news yet or not.

Don't worry, there is not much details to it really, I'd just hate to say anything if he did not want me to ya know.

Just wait though for sure though if that has been your plan all along

[Demo]

Wait i thought the 24phase model mobo's were canned ??

okay, I'm going border-line insane but I can understand your position

[jalyst]

Apparently not, Lsdmeasap was going to 'spill the beans' but then realised he should 'bite his lip' until his insider friend gives the go-ahead...

[labs23]

Good to know that, can't wait for the details. It won't be long before you'll tell us right?

[DavyBoy]

I wonder why the guy who works at OcUK is posting on the forums there saying that these boards have been scrapped then...

My intention was to wait until these new mobos have been released and see how the early adopters get on with them first before I decided to grab one, I am more than happy with my current UD5's, so I really don't NEED a new board tbh, but if they have better overclocking potential than the current ones, and allow more than 222Bclk without the PCIe hardmod, then it might be worth my while selling on my current one and getting one..

Though like I said, I will wait and see what happens first.

It is really bugging me though that people who work at OcUK are telling everyone that these boards aren't getting released anymore...

[jalyst]

Lsdmeasap, why have you forsaken us?!?

[Lsdmeasap]

He has not replied to me again other than to say they are not making what he has told me public just yet, I suppose for a big surprise on P55 day.

Like I said though, wait for sure if you are wanting a new X58 board that is all I can say. I am not sure if I should even say that much really.

[jalyst]

Okay np thanks, when is P55 day?

[Lsdmeasap]

I do believe I have read the 6th, 7th, and 8th now at various places about P55 release date? So not sure, sometime this week though I do believe

[Migi06]

tomorrow

[jalyst]

oh sweet well then we'll know tomorrow what the story is, FINALLY!

Cheers

[Nowyn]

Really looking forward to EX58A-UD5 for my i7 build.
