Hi all!

I'm planning on buying the Gigabyte board with OCZ  Platinum DDR3-1600 3x2048MB (OCZ3P1600LV6GK).

Are there someone with experience with this combination?

Hi
I can only say that there are a few compatibility problems with Gigabyte motherboards and OCZ memory in general. I would suggest going with Corsair or Crucial etc.

OK with the x58-ud3r, so it should work even better with yours.

Gigabyte always seem to lean towards Kingston especially their top memory.

All joking apart it is perfectly feasible to paint a board(not fans as it throws them out of balance). I have done it myself just as an experiment and it worked fine. I even used silver paint for the motherboard and black for all the memory, cards, etc. Looked really cool and worked fine.  ;D
There is even a website dedicated to doing this.
