ello again. yup i think thats gotta be the plan. it's p****ed me right off. the motherboard is only about 9 months old tops so do u think i should contact gigabyte of the seller?
yeah its a dirty trick man and one thats cost people money they dont have to throw away enit

9 months is a while but yet still should have Manufactuars warrenty

I would contact them and let them know of the Issue and possible ask for a refund for a better supported model cause idealy they are responsable and you have proof

with that proof should be enough to make them budge and fix it to make it right

I don't think it will damage anything if your not going to use the board anymore

First of all wait for there word

Second if you got the money and can just get the other board

Third if not wait till you get some kind of info on it or another fix

why would they be closed ? kinda odd wouldn't they be open 6 days out of the week atleast

Well you can look into some better boards or we can suggest up to you but if you plan on useing that chip fine but if you have a fear of the board frying don't install your old chip back in it leave it alone and wait for a return response then ship it off

These are the things i would put down just because I know when you do a Bios flash it has warnings redflags etc but if it is up and running there was no damage but if you have concerns of the thermal side of the cpu and voltage changes then don't use it

ello.
i'll be waiting on thier reply. im disabled and on disability benefit so theres no buying anything lol

easter holliday now to. only just realised. so they wont be getting back to me till tuesday atleast

would i not be able to reflash the older bios bk or isnt this possible?

I wouldn't do that

Looking for a fix would be more helpfull going back would cause damage and bad configuration alltogether not good i'll start looking for any info on this and get back to you there has to be some way of locking your clock speed in when disabling turbo and not having to go through the overdrive

Hmmmm speaking of that Disable the cpu overdrive in the CCC restart then log on then after check it if it is still disabled reboot go into bios then start your unlocking process but leave cool quiet auto as well as the c6 turn off turbo core change the ram speed if it is defaulted and save reboot then check your cpuz and other clock check tools to see if it sticks

Im thinking maybe if you stop the CPU overdrive your bios will allow the settings to stick just a hunch

you have the 12.3 because the cpu overdrive should show up all the way back from 11.11 i think

Also that probaly means the bios flash didn't work either

i tried these settings,
disabled core performance boost
disabled C1E
enabled C6
cool n quiet auto
but it didnt like it. booted up ok but coretemp said it could'nt get any reading from it. so i loaded optomized defaults n same happened so ive just shut it down as i dont wanna kill the cpu. i'll wait for the slooooooooow rma process

i have no idea what am gonna do with no pc lol. pretty sad really enit

thanks again for ur help folks

Hi Ganjiry,

I noticed you are RMA'ing the board to Ebuyer and remembered I did the same with a board a while back, so I checked my account to see how long the process took just to give you an indication.

I started the RMA on a Sunday night, Posted it back on a next day delivery to them on the Monday, and by the Saturday of the same week the money was back in my account.

I expect if you post it back Tuesday, you would have a refund by the following monday or tues.

Paul.
