I'm the head tech at a computer retailer in New Zealand, i'm gonna see if i can switch our systems to Asus from Gigabyte, at least when they crap out it doesn't take this long to get a replacement.

My Friend bought a rev 1 at the same time and his packed up with the same symptons 2 days ago. |

I will have my replacement ,Rev 2 in a couple of days along with 2 sticks of RAM. Mine died after 10 months of normal use. A few weeks ago, my 8KNXP (rev 1) died after about 8 months of normal use. (I leave my computer on 24x7, and one day, I sat at my desk, only to find that the system had crashed and would refuse to post upon rebooting.) Here in Toronto, it took the Gigabyte service centre about 2 weeks to get a new board in, and they replaced it with another rev 1. I really hope this replacement doesn't die. (If so, the 8KNXP will have been my first -- and probably last -- Gigabyte product.) -kris |

Hello
I actually had 3 x rev 1 boards RMA'd. Basically they would not run in a stable manner. Finally I got a Rev 2 board which is now very stable and has been used extensively for about 4 months now without issue. More than likely it was a matter of the components I had but I purchased a Aopen AX4C Max to use during the 3 months or so on and off that the Gigabyte was away and everything ran very well. I got very tired of swapping the motherboard out each time I got a new Rev 1 board back to only find it still did not run very well. I was going to keep the Aopen board but the Gigabyte has some nice touches such as the extra ITE IDE ports and full powered external USB 2 and FireWire ports which are connected to my external ports on the top of my Thermaltake case. Below is my current setup which is running very well and literally never crashes at all. Mark Giga-Byte GA-8KNXP v.2.0 Motherboard w/ Award BIOS v.

I RMA'd my rev 1 after it refused to post. I'd had it for six months
I got a rev 2.0 in return, thanks to newegg. |
