    For all those with a Gigabyte motherboard....

    DO NOT update your bios to the newest version FF...did it last night and it bricked my mobo completely. No amount of recovery or resetting could bring it back, I tried for 6 hours last night. I even used Gigabytes own software @Bios....I am really irritated with them right now.

    Only good thing to come out of it is my upgraded hardware :)

    I also updated when it was available, I fucking hate Gigabyte right now. Might go with ASUS next since my friends have had no issues with them, had nothing but trouble with Gigabyte.

    I had no trouble out of my 880ga-ud3h for nearly 5 years...updated the Bios using @Bios 3 or 4 times in that time....the most recent one FF is just bad...bricked it completely...they are great mobo's....but their software development team sucks bad.

    I went with the Crossfire V Formula Z this time...couldn't pass up the sale being it was open box and missing the manual and I/O shield...got it for $150 :)

    That's not a sale, that is a scam.
    Why would you have a motherboard more expensive than your CPU?

    What??? Do you know how much that Mobo is normally?

    Crossfire V at NewEgg

    And I bought it for the SLI...and future upgrade to the 8 core Bulldozer...
