It appears hyperthreading needed to be enabled to cause the error, so those with i5 are safe.

I would get 3x4GB. There is no guarantee that your new set will work well with your old set or with all 6 slots occupied. That way, you'll get at least 12GB to use if things doesn't work out and you won't get stuck with 2 sets of 3x2GB and you can only use one set or the other.

For a budget board, go with ASRock Z75 Pro3 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157304

I don't like it that it doesn't clock down when idle. That means more heat and therefore more noise.

He said the computer was reassembled, so it was obviously used. He knew it when he purchased it. What does Singapore have anything to do with this?

New F5f beta BIOS has just be released for UD5 to improve memory compatibility.

I tried this with gaming 7 with G.skill ram, no problem at all. It seems people with problem all have Corsair Vengeance LPX ram, those with G.skill ram are mostly problem free. I think those who want to go with Gigabyte 170 boards should pick G.skill ram for painless experience.

Your motherboard is on your memory's approved list, so it will definitely work.

Yes, it can be disabled on Asus Z170 boards such as Hero or Deluxe.

On Gigabyte website, the Gaming 7 is being advertised as Intel Thunderbolt 3 certified motherboard, and there is a thunderbolt driver available in the driver section. If it doesn't have Alpine Ridge, what Intel controller is it using for Thunderbolt?

256MB will be fine.

HD5450 an GT210 only support hdmi 1.3a , therefore can't play 3D movies if that is important to you.

World Champion <> World record. You can win multiple world championship without breaking the world records as Usian Bolt did.:) No need to argue about it here.
