I recently ordered a set of parts from Newegg to build a new system. Unfortunately, I may not have researched the parts carefully enough. I first chose the GA-MA770-DS3 motherboard. I then chose a processor and memory based on the specifications page for this motherboard at Newegg. The processor I...

I am going to buy this mobo, however I have one hesitation: Is CPU-Fan controlled by this mobo so that it is almost non-audible in cpu idle? I have my case open at left side so I need almost silent cpu-fan in idle. I intend to use "freezer 7 pro" or "box" cooler. Alternatively I could consider...

A friend purchased a P35-DS3P mobo with two sticks of 1gb DDR2 RAM, a 3-pin Coolermaster HSF, and a PCI-E video card to upgrade an older P4 478 system in an ATX case. The PSU is a 480W Antec Truepower, and when everything is connected the only response is a quick flicker of the CPU fan--no...

Hi all, this isnt my mobo, I'm just posting on behalf of someone else. This is the post http://pressf1.co.nz/showthread.php?t=87148\ He's using ram (1066), and no matter what he does, the system crashes, usually when playing games.

Does anyone know when Gigabyte will be releasing motherboards based on the Nvidia 780i chipset? Other manufacturers already have. Thanks

Hello, Do you known if we can dream using a Core 2 Duo on an Intel 945/955 motherboard not designed for Core 2 ? (example : GA-8I945P Pro) Voltage specification are not exactly the same , but we can just give more power to the core 2 duo (like overclocker),no?
