Title: GA-MA770-UD3 and Phenom II X4 965 black edition
Post by: valerian on October 11, 2009, 10:05:10 pm

This 3.4 Ghz processor is not listed in the board compatibility list.
Do somebody try it?
If it works, what is the revision of the board and the bios version?

I plan to buy the Rev 2 board if I find it (french dealers only advertise for Rev 1)!

I would say it would work, but you may want to contact gigabyte direct just to make sure. Or you could just buy a lesser processor + overclock? ;)

That is bad support from Gigabyte. I contacted them and they said the 965 BE will not work with this board as it is 140W. Consequently I bought the 955 BE.

That can't be true. They advertise that the board supports 140w cpus.
Anyway, mine is working just fine =)
