The second --I also have a Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1800 PCIe TV tuner/DVR card, and I cannot get the drivers to install in Windows 7 x64. The install routines cannot identify the card properly. The first time, the card was undetected, so I moved it to another slot. I got two unknown devices in the second slot I tried, and couldn't install the card. I went back to the first slot, and got one unknown device, which I couldn't install the drivers for either.

Admittedly, Hauppauge's driver-install routine is the pits; it runs through every piece of hardware they make, as well as trying all the x86 and x64 drivers regardless of operating system (it just fails each driver that doesn't install and goes on to the next), but I had no issues getting the card installed in my Gigabyte EP45-UD3P. I only had 8GB of RAM in that board (I have 16GB now), but any hardware I've seen have a problem with RAM had the problem with 4GB or more, so I don't think it's an addressing issue.

Aside from those two issues, the board is great.

how does it handle blck changes? (my chip can do 106.5 on my ud7, but my evga p67 ftw can even go past 104 )



it's 289.99 but 10 bucks shipping



where is my magnifying glass , but in regards to the memory temp... it's most likely attributed to software not reading it properly as it's a very new board... had the same problem way back when my old ud4 was new. I don't trust software that much with temperatures. Do you have a temp probe lying around? just use that... much more accurate
I can neither check or verify most of those issues as I don't have a Gen3 board for testing All I can say regards the floppy issue, have you checked to make sure the floppy cable and drive are ok? As for the UEFI bugs question, as long as the quality of the UEFI is like that of the P67 and Z68 boards I bug tested, there will be no bugs to speak of.
