Probably 1.3 (90% Chance)

Why do you ask?

Losse;
I ordered one of these about 2 months ago and the one I got was a rev 1.2
It came with bios version F8, and I updated it to F9. The colors are blue and white, for the ram slots, not the yellow and reddish colors shown in the pictures. The north-bridge heats sink is also different than shown.
The picture shows a version 1.0 on newegg. But I never trust the pictures to be up to date.
I am running a E6300 dual core pentium OC to 3.5GHZ, 4G Kingston HyperX ram @ 1066 at 2.0 volts, and a Nvidia 9800GTX. MCH is set at 1.2 volts. The F8 bios recognized the CPU before the update. I have had no stability problems at all.
I am using Ultimate Edition 2.6 64 bit for the OS. I can't tell you how windows runs on this board, because I don't have it. Oh yea, MB temps stay at 28 to 29 degrees C even under full load. It runs very cool compared to the  Asus board I was using before.
Hope this helps.

thanks guys, yes that helps i really appreciate the info, i may be referring back to this since i will be building it at the end of next week most likely 

i am looking forward to working with this mobo, i have only has ASUS and EVGA in the past.  Besides the no name junk i got in some old Dells 10 or more years ago.

I was just wondering cause i was gonna print off the manual at work, or does it come with the manual in the box?

[jafo]

Yup; It comes with a manual, I/O plate, IDE cable, sata cable, a quick start guide and a software dvd. It also comes with a nifty GigaByte sticker too. Just about everything you need to get up and running minus cpu, ram, psu and video card of course. I know about those old Dells, I have a XPS T600 I bought new in 1999, it still runs, not fast but it runs Puppy linux good enough. Have fun with your new build.

Yeah i bought my last dell in 1999 also,  mighta been the same one, i dunno i just threw away all the paperwork to it, since i gave it to a friend a few years ago. 

Thanks, i guess i wont waste any paper then and just use the manual in the box
