Gigabyte has got to have earned a metal for customer service because as long as I've known you you've been sending one board back or another. Back in your D945 days (or was that 940?)I think you went through every revision of the 965 series board. If I was Gigabyte I would be sending you coupons for Asus products.:P LOL

Methinks your memory is a bit faulty. That was an Asus P5P800-SE, not the Gigabyte. I only had the D-940 in the Gigabyte P35 when I sent the E6750 for RMA. When I first got the P35 it got lost in shipping and was sent to the wrong address. They sent me a revision 1 MB, which I did not want as it was a known troublesome MB. I had shipped back the 965P because of a compatibility issue with the E6750 and paid an additional $50 to get the P35-DS3R rev 2.0. You could not set the fsb on the 965P to 1333 on the 965P, only if you overclocked it. It was fine with the E4300's 800 fsb, but not the 1333 bus of the E6750. That's where there was a mistake in the specs that said the buss was 1333. That's the sole reason I replaced it!

With the P35, rev 1.0 I first got there were cold boot problems. If I blew my hair drier in the vent on the side cover it would boot. I think all the confusion and shipping you are talking about was the rev 2 that got lost and was replaced with the one with the cold boot problem. Eventually I found the bios to be all messed up in the one that had been delivered to the wrong place, which came about 10 days later. I finally cleared the CMOS and flashed the F10 BIOS in it, and that was the end of the problem. Still running strong!

My 790-UD4H works fine except it get's this video anomaly at post where there are sparkling dots under the text. I have to Ctrl, Alt, Delete a couple of times till the anomaly stops, and then it's good for as long as the computer runs. I can play FC-2 on it all day and it works fine! It doesn't do it every time, and it does it with the On board Graphics with the 9500GT removed. I thought it had to do with the video card itself until I saw it do the same thing with the On board! Remember I thought it was because I had set the HT link frequency to 2200, as it seemed to go away when I set it to 2000. It doesn't do it all the time. I mainly want the 790X-UD4P because the on board graphics of the original DS4H and both UD4H's have never worked right with my monitor, even in VGA, the DVI never worked at all with my monitor. Others will work with the DVI, but not my Sceptre, yet my Sceptre works on everything else. No temperature issues, BSODs or resets. I want the 790X MB because I paid for OBG and they don't work! It's an annoying thorn in my side! LOL!! It's there, but I can't use it! I would rather have the extra PCI-E slot and two additional Sata ports than to keep the OBG that won't work with my monitor.

As it happens, I did a memory upgrade to 4GB on one of the 780GX Gigabyte computers I built, and my monitor works perfect using it in both DVI and VGA. With this one even using the VGA is problematic, as it loses the screen resolution because it doesn't always see the monitor. When it doesn't there is no 1680x1050 on the list, so the screen scrolls side to side about an inch or so each way. It has problems sensing the Plug and Play. When it doesn't work it says Unknown Monitor. When it works it says Plug and Play monitor.

Best Regards,
Russ
