    X79-DELUXE

    Never mind any replies. The Board has been confirmed a dud by ASUS. They are replacing it. This will be the 4th X79 Board. Doesn't say much for ASUS's QC. Think I'll be going with a different MFGR in the future.

    Last piece of the puzzle (buying tomorrow)

    Hey man! In Computer Land the Good Ole American Syndrome applies; "Bigger is better." There is no such thing as overkill. The only restraints we have are the shallowness of our pockets. Seriously, purchase the MoBo U R comfortable with.

    X79-DELUXE

    I purchased this Mainboard because of the glowing no BS review written here on [H]ard|OC, besides; after my own research I was sold on all the SATA 6G Ports & the price point is reasonable compared to ASRock or GIGABYTE. Perhaps it is I have my Board configured incorrectly or there is something...

    Little More OC on Memory Desired

    Found my own partial answer through happen-stance. With the GA-X58A-UD5 Rev. 2; GIGABYTE has it designed in such a way that for one to use the odd multipliers (x19, x21) the HyperThread function in the BIOS must be disabled other wise, after configuring the BIOS for an odd multiplier and upon...

    More Memory or Faster Memory

    The good Ole American syndrome applies here; bigger is better so in your case go for "more" RAM, lots of it!

    Overclock question

    If it runs don't worry about it. Run it till it dies which it probably will not. You will be onto your next system and this RAM will still be running just fine.

    RAM Issues on X58 Boards

    ON 2010.09.22 @ 0145 AM I posted about inaccurate RAM count during POST. Since then a couple things have happened. First I replaced my 12G Black Dragon GB36GB1333C7TC PC3 10660 with 6G Kingston KHX2333C9D3T1K3/3GX and my inaccuracies during POST RAM count seaced. So I took the Black Dragon SIMMS...

    Core i7 920 RMA

    I was not required to send back the heatsink & fan. The iNtel Rep just told me to ship it in a secure container so I put it in bubble rap and purchased a Pakmail envelope and shipped UPS. No sweat at all.

    Core i7 920 RMA

    I RMA'D a 920 just 3 weeks ago. It was sent to Louisville, KY and my new CPU was shipped from the same place. I spoke on the phone to a iNtel Rep who was very helpful, he had me read all the information from the plate of the CPU and then gave me the RMA number and address to ship to. I had no...
