Built this about 3 weeks ago. Everything is running fine but I have a nagging issue that I have yet to get an acceptable answer for:
After a cold boot, the Phase LED's will come on for about five seconds. Going from top to bottom they show as 2 Red, 2 Yellow and 2 Green. From what I can find (Manual says nothing) they have something to do with the fact that I am running my memory at 1600 - essentially overclocked. After the POST beep, there is a 2 second buzz that sounds as well. None of this happens on a simple reset.
I am planning on putting in a second 470 in SLI but I am worried I am pulling too much juice in the system too fast.
Adjustments I have done with no effect: Set QPI/vTT to Normal (locking it at 1.25) Now runs Auto at 1.45. Set CPU voltage to Normal then back to Auto
BTW: This is my first Gigabyte MOBO ever-I actually won it in a F@H contest. My builds have been about 80% ASUS, 10% Intel and 10% XFX. Easier setup than my old Pro-Turbo and less tweaking than my 680i. The placement of the PCI and the #2 PCI Express x16 are not the best but that is specific to my setup. I will definitely be buying a GB board for my next build.
