et6 broken on GA-78LMT-S2P (rev. 5.x)

[avitar]

I've posted this before - do gigabytes developers take any notice or is it just the latest m/bs that are supported? If so please tell us so we don't waste our time with these emails!!

I've installed the latest version of et6  2013.12.11 date 2014/2/27 from gigabyte site, on win7 -64 sp1. have latest bios F4a,  fx4100 processor, 4Gbytes.

The problem is when I run et6 I only get the frequency tab, I DO NOT GET THE RATIO and VOLTAGE tabs as inm documentation. I know as a get out gigabyte say that et6 doesn't work for all systems, but this is a cop out - don't believe that they can't make it work - it is either the bios or the et6 software..

It should work for a modern processor, reasonably modern m/b

SO GET IT SORTED  GIGABYTE!

ET6 is a software that you should generally avoid.

Your board is not a high end board so maybe they decided to lock some functions for your board.

I never seen any developer posting around here.

As a user i can tell you that if the functions don t work now they will never do..If you want more features get something better.

Why should et6 be avoided- it is GIGA software and they are supposed to be a professional company.

If developers don't read the forum then they should - otherwise what is the point?

Saying 'get a new board' is a really crap idea - people don't buy m/bs & throw them away, and GIGA should be supporting them - it is the best marketing ploy - companies who don't go downhill.

You should make it your business to tell GIGA to fix this!

The ET 6 is a software that clashes with many other software giving instability or issues.It s just buggy.I personally did not liked it and used BIOS to configure what i needed.
Unfortunately vendors tend to neglect products that are under a limit of value to minimize costs and increase profits ,it s the capitalist way of doing things.
Contact Gigabyte support and tell them your problem ,who knows maybe the feedback will be positive.

Maybe absic  the forum moderator can forward your problem.

I also do not recommend ET.

Some time ago I tried using it to control my fans (i. e. set up a fan speed profile). It worked fairly well - but had unacceptable latency. Running latency monitor showed all kinds of issues.

I switched to Speed Fan - set up fan profiles - and NO latency problems.

I am the same as the others used it got rid of it I can do better by myself in bios. So I know for the last 6 years or so it has never worked on any gigabyte board I have had. I even built one with your motherboard for a fried. Worked great but easytune didn't.
