Has anyone fitted a Coolmaster Aero 7+ to a Gigabyte 7NNXP mobo? Or a Vantec VA4-C7040 AMD Aeroflow? I guess Zalman's are out of the question. I'm worried about the two capacitors near the CPU slot Does anyone also know if there'll be a revision of this board anytime soon. I'm hoping they'll...

Hello all, When the GA-8SQ800 came out, Giga-byte said it (or rather, the SiS 655) will have support for the 800Mhz Pentiums. Does anyone know if this is indeed the situation? if it is not, is Giga-byte/SiS actually working on it, or will 533 be the best I can get? Thanks, Uri

Hi, I have several gigabte boards, my GA-7VAXP came with an "Audio combo kit" that has a SPDIF out connector on it. The other boards have a SPDIF connection on the board but did not come with the kit. I have searched pricewatch.com but cannot find any ones for gigabyte boards - does anyone know...

Just had my new system setup with Xp with two SATA Raid drives. Ran perfectly. Loaded Norton Ghost 2003 and went to do my first backup. Would not boot to DOS as normally does. SATA Raid was not unbootable. Found I had to delete array and recreate it to get back about 112 megs of drive space...

A colleague recently purchased a new computer, an Athlon 2800+ with 3*512M PC2700 RAM and a GA-7VA motherboard. I have tried to install Linux (Redhat 9.0) on it, but it consistently aborts during the installation process. But, with any two of the three DIMMS in place the installation is...

Just installed a GA-VT600-L with a Barton 2800XP and I can't get it to recognize the CPU correctly. It shows it at 16X on a 266 bus speed instead of 12.5X at a 333 bus speed. I turned the speed switch to the off position, did this a few times again just to make sure, but it just doesn't...

Seeking help in recovering from a corrupted BIOS upgrade for GA-686BX. This was my first time upgrading a BIOS. I used the F1 file from the Giga-byte web-site, as I was only interested in allowing the use of a 40Gb HDD. Now I see that I should have used the F2a BIOS. I saved the original BIOS to...

My on-board LAN is dead. Aside from the "failure to connect" message I can't find anything wrong with my on-board LAN. I have re-loaded xp and it still is no good. I installed a 3Com PCI LAN and it works fine. Anybody having any southbridge issues with their nForce? I hope my APU is fine. I have a...

I have read lots about the LAN problems with the pro version of this card, and everyone says upgrade to F11 of the bios. I have the same problems with the pro2 version and have upgraded to F3, the latest version, and still cannot get the LAN card to work. Has anyone any ideas how to get...

Would I have a problem putting a new faster graphics card in my old BX6 R2 motherboard - my main concern is around the voltages, I believe my AGP slot provides 3Volts where as the new graphics cards only want 1.5 volts. I know ye old p3 750 won't provide the data for a new graphics card toi run at...

Anybody know hoe to enable S.M.A.R.T. in the BIOS settings for this board. Thanks Mike

Hi all I've got the Gigabyte GA8Iexp mobo, and there's a pair of unknown devices I can't get rid of no matter what I try. I've installed all the drivers provided (as far as I am aware), including the latest Intel chipset drivers. My Windows XP install is also fully updated. The two devices are...

My first question is : Has anyone out there running this combination of hardware? I can't seem to get this processor to boot at all. Everything works fine with my old Athlon 750, but when I plug my new Duron 1300 in, it auto detects the drives then hangs. I have been told that the fact that the...
