I have tried searching for this information but am unable to find any info either on Gigabyte website or on the internet. Can anyone here please let me know the differences between the two board revisions?

The only apparent difference is that the core boost chip on the revision 2.0 board was replaced on the revision 2.1 motherboard by a software option instead as Gigabyte found a way to do the same thing but without the hardware.
