That board was ment for the FX series that is a high rated board

make sure you do all the Bios updates and firmware

sorted i managed to raise the £176 so im off to the shops

sweet hope it works out for you

Also you should check my board out as well MSI 990FX GD-80 specs are similar but the crosshair uses more juice you can ask TW33K about that

ello again. its the onlu board i can find instock in a shop. im gonna have to go 4o miles for it too lol.
cheers

wow ok really good luck and make sure they hold on too it for you

40 miles is no joke Godspeed

i couldn't reserve it as it was some new combined store of pc world n currys's. god knows why tho. it proppa did my nut in when i got there tho as there wasn't a single pc component in sight. the first person i found that worked there just said motherboards here? he had to go into the stores website to find it lol but i got it in the end. lucky tho as they only had 2. so 2moz i'll get stuck in. i just hope the cpu is ok.
im a happy bunny now lol as ive had my eye on this board for quite a while but could't justify another upgrade to the mrs lol.

Good job and well done, ganjiry. But, just to let you know, I haven't been able to justify my last 7 or 8 upgrades to the MRS. Don't worry, they get over it. lol.

ganjiry, That looks to be a great mobo and do let us know how it installs and take some shots to post.

+1 like linnemeyerhere did. They looked excellent too. I'm sure yours will also.

Thats one nice motherboard, wish I had one. Off topic, but whats the best way to remove drool from your keyboard. =)

Windex and some cotton swabs !

Actually Ganjiry if you get your money back off the other board you will loose maybe 40 bucks thats a win win in my book

I hope that new board gets you in the right direction

Remember we are all here to help you please please take pics i dig new builds

lols im lucky my mrs doesn'nt mind me buyin pc bits as it keeps me chilled. good job lol as i originally said i needed £600 for my build i ended up paying £850 for the original build 17 months ago. ive since done 3 rebuilds + 3x gaming headsets, keyboards n mice

i'll certainly take some pics. it goes without saying enit and i know how fussy u r with pics so i'll use a camera this time instead of my phone my mrs thinks im mad takin pics everytime i change my pc. women aye.

now i just need new ram as mine wont look right so whatever ebuyer give me back can go towards 16GB of memory

as for removing dreul from keyboards. i ent worked it out yet as ive been dreuling over this board since i bought the last one


@solarsunshine re; help. i know u all at sevenforums are great. if i cant find the answers myself this is the next place i go and have always recieved a friendly response and always more than helpfull.
i really apreciate all help and lessons ive learned and will learn.
thanks to all at sevenforums i always tell people to come here too

edit: ello folks
just a quickie. i take it that its best to use my old cpu first to see what bios is installed?
ive only just got it in my case lol as i took everythin out n had a clean out first then redid my cables again

im also not sure if my ram will be any good as its not on the supported list. it has 1 digit wrong
corsair CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 we shall see aye. i hope its ok or will it definately not work if not on the list? just checked the support list for my last board and it wasn't on there either so theres hope

ello all
just thought id update u on what gigabyte said. they sent me a beta bios FGi and said try this and tell us the erros n stuff u get. ive replied saying im not intrested in trying loads of fixes and just want to rma it as it was not as described by manufacturer/ seller.

edit they are now saying hat this is the first they have heard of this issue. no other reports have been made and still want me to flash to that bios but i cant be arsed takin my pc apart to test it

sorry to revive a dead thread but i thought id let ya know how things are progressing with my old board. gigabyte fobbed me off for a week asking me to check this check that. finally ebuyer agreed to take it in for testing last week. today they have got back to me to say there is nothing wrong with it and are returning it to me

more news. ebuyer told me they fully tested the board to replicate the problem. what they failed to mention at first was the fact that they tested the board with a quad core bulldozer. not the fx 6100 so how they can say they tested it properly i dont know. they say they havent got a 6100 lol and ive said that its not my problem. ive given them enough info and that they cant return it to me unless tested with the right cpu. otherwise they havent tested it properly
