Soar, I would give it a chance to "run in" first and make sure there are no little problems that need sorting out before you start clocking it. Only complicates matters if you OC it and then hit a snag, you don't know whether it is the OC that has caused it or just a fault.
I'm not surprised at the 7.9 in WEI. But I do think Microsoft will be re-evaluating it shortly as the faster drives start going mainstream.
DM, you know, that sure makes good sense about waiting on the OC'ing! Thanks for the good advice and I will wait. I still have more hardware to add. Presently, I am very impressed with everything. I never realized how nice this HAF 932 was until I opened the box and put everything inside. There are so many variations of what one can do with this case. Now I am extremely happy I purchased it and am using it. It is by far the best computer case I have ever owned/used.
The GA-P67A-UD3-B3/Intel 2500K is working flawlessly so far. Kind of strange, but now I realize that there are probably not as many problems with these boards as most people suspect. I think I read too many reports detailing the problems, but perhaps for every person that had a problem, there were 50-100 people that had no problem whatsoever!
That is perhaps the one draw back [downside] of reading too much at a forum like this.
I have a proposal:To help people have a more balanced view, how about Forum Gigabyte UK make a part of this forum where people can post their successes! Yes, stories about installing the MOBO and there were no problems at all!I think this idea may be helpful for people like myself that come here and do not realize that most of the Gigabyte MOBO's post with no problem at all and work flawlessly!
Just a suggestion. I think it would level the playing area by giving people a better perspective of the overall quality of Gigabyte motherboards.
Please forward this to Runn3r. I think an idea like this could transform many people's perspective on Gigabyte's motherboards in a very positive way.
Up, up, and away into more positive thinking and living!
Soar
