Gigabyte GA-965P DS3 - revisions?

Guys,

Wondering if someone can answer me a quick question? Maybe someone who works at OCUK might stumble upon this?

Has anyone recently bought the Gigabyte GA-965P DS3 from OCUK? And if so, what revision are they currently stocking...Rev 1 or Rev 2???

I emailed the customer services to ask what revision they had in stock but they replied and said they couldn't guarantee which revision I would receive if I ordered.

I wasnt asking for them to give me a "You'll definatley get a revision 2" answer...just a "Looks like the stock we have is revision 2" would have done

Lazy methinks

Don't these guys want my money??

I'd appreciate it if anyone can chime in (specially if you've recently bought this board from this site)

Cheers guys

Cheers for the replies lads,

Just looking through the threads now to see what the general consensus is with this board.

Thanks again.

Got one about a month ago and it was a rev 3.3. The rev 3.3 has been around for quite a while so I would be surprised if you got a rev 1.0 or 2.0

Jaric,

I am thinking about buying the exact same Mobo, Ram and CPU as you and trying a little overclocking.

What cooling are you using and was it easy to get that CD2 to the speeds in your sig? Wouldn't mind picking your brains on that if I go through with this purchase :cool:

I also have an X1800XT (Which I'll be replacing a little later on)

OK guys,

Another question? (Using this thread rather than create another)

What's the onboard sound like on the DS3?

I have an Audigy 2 ZS and don't really care for it much to be honest...if the Onboard sound is as good or better, I'll use it!! Just wondering what sort of performance hit I should expect by using the onboard as opposed to the Audigy 2?

Using onboard will also save me a PCI slot and save some clutter in the case too...

Thoughts anyone?
