Anyone know if Gigabyte will get around to actually selling this board in Europe, specifically the UK? -- R. Mark Clayton remove nospa for email

When buying a power supply for a motherboard do you have to check which connector type it has for the motherboard before purchase. I see that some motherboard require different plug types and wasn't sure if they come with different connectors.

In the process of building up a GA-Z87X-UD4H system, I notice that there does not seem to be any power available on either the USB2 or USB3 outlets. I have not tried the internal USB3 headers pending purchase of a 3.5" front panel to use them. OTOH, on my EP45-UD3L, there is power on all the...

I get an audio tone from my EP45-UD3L during periods of heavy lifting - sometimes intermittent, sometimes steady. Right now, running an app called HandBrake which is transcoding DVD to ..MPEG4 disc-to-disc, the alarm is steady. CPU use is pretty much pegged in the very high nineties per Process...

EP45-UD3L Running 32-bit XP. Chrome's going out the window on a regular basis. My IP cam server is biting the big one almost from minute-to-minute. Avast abends when trying to install DB updates. I'd upload some screen snaps, but I can't even get Chrome to stay around long enough, IE is...

EP45-UD3L. When I run the video transcoding app "HandBrake" with "Normal" CPU priority, I get intermittent beeps from the mobo. Setting it down to "Below Normal" (in Process Lasso's scheme of things...) the beeps go away almost completely. Kicking it up to "High", makes Windows XP appear to...

Mainboard: GA-M55plus-S3G, Rev 1.2. Hard drives: Two IDE (80GB and 160GB), one SATA (2TB Seagate). Problem: After a power-off, the BIOS doesn't auto-detect the SATA drive. If I manually tell it to detect it, it does, but the drive is still not listed in the boot drive order, so I have to save...

Mainboard: GA-M55plus-S3G When I boot my computer, the first screen of the BIOS claims: "Award v6.00PG". On the website for this board, I see BIOS revisions up thru F15B. I assume the "B" is for beta, but there is no mention of this on the page. I've been trying to update to the F14 version...

I'm doing a new build and my case has an eSATA port on the fron panel. The motherboard has a couple of unused SATA ports, but nothing specifically designated as eSATA. Can I connect the front-panel eSATA port to a plain old SATA port on the motherboard, or are these really different things? It...

Seems like most mobos have six or fewer SATA ports. The one I'm currently using as a WSH server only has six. I find that using RAID cards to enable more drives has it's hassles. When I shop for the next mobo, would I be wasting my time looking for something with 10 or 12 SATA ports - that...

Helllo all, I've given up on my two hopelessly temperamental Asus P5W DH Deluxe boards and have embraced my first Gigabyte board, the GA-Z77-D3H, which is very basic but all-modern and notably has an mSATA socket, into which I've put a 32 G mini SSD from Crucial. On the first Sata port I've...

EP45-UD3L Running 32-bit XP. Can I Use A 3-TB Drive? (not as system, just a data drive for my media center app) -- Pete Cresswell

Looking to finally add a serial port output to my system. Do not want to use a USB to Serial adapter. Have tried to google and just went around in circles. Tried Newegg, about the same, unless I want to order from AU. -- Randy

Reading the docs for SpeedFan, I get the impression that a third-party app cannot tell for sure which temperatures are which. Is there some GigaByte-specific utility that will tell me the CPU temp? EP45-UD3L. -- Pete Cresswell

Hi, I upgraded XP Professional to Windows 7 Professional via an upgrade disk to / on a HD, which was successful, and running for quite some time, successfully as well. How can I transfer all of this to a new SSD and continue on? Thanks.

I've got a GA-880GA-UD3H, and an Athlon II X3 455. I'm using a stock heatsink, and a 500W power supply. Unlocking the CPU reveals a fourth core. Given the PS and the heatsink, should I have any issues if the CPU is unlocked/

Windows XP Pro SP3 EP45-UD3L with 4 gigs Intel Quad CPU Q8400 @2.66GHz With a media server and a 4 security cameras hanging on this thing, it is about maxed out: 80-100% CPU usage. The Question: Is there anything I can do to get, say, 20+ percent more

Hello, My computer will not power on. It is a GA-MA770 DS3 rev 1 board. I have disconnected everything (ethernet, keyboard, mouse, etc) and all drives but it still will not power up. The cpu fan does not turn. Do I assume the board is dead? Is there anything I can do? If not, what replacement...

Hello, I had a GA-MA770DS3 motherboard which will not power on. I wanted to buy a replacement but AM2+ boards are hard to find. The only gigabyte model I can find is the GA-M68M-S2P. However I was using ECC memory in my original motherboard. Does the m68m-s2p support ecc, I do not think it does. I...

As the title says, I would like to know what is the max size hard drive I can install. Otherwise is the size determined by the OS? My OS is Win &, 32 bit. Mike Skuczas
