We'll let the OP answer for absolute confirmation, but from the box, it looks like rev 2.1 (box says supports DDR2 1200, whereas the older revs don't, according to the Gigabyte site). Interested to know if he bought from OCUK too, as I have my eye on this board!

Just bought this board along with an E6850 and it's slowly converting me to Intel :eek:

The board is rev 2.1 and I have had no problems (except for me putting on the freezer 7 pro on the wrong way round, fan facing the rear and having windows give me error after error)

Got this lot last week -:
Gigabyte DS3R mobo
Intel E6850 cpu
Freezer 7 pro
G-Skill PC2-6400C5 4GB
ASUS EAH3650 256mb (but has now been replaced with a ASUS 3870XT 512mb)

All in all, it sings it's way through anything I have to throw at it, not overclocked and temps at 25 and 23c idle and 40 and 42c working hard.

Nope, not bought from OC. I've nothing against OC just I live very close to well known outlet and if I have any problems its not far to travel.

It is revision 2.1, bought for the 1333 support.

Of course!

It was the best processor I could afford

£11 more gets an E8200 which has more cache and runs cooler :confused:

But to be fair you could do that almost until you triple your original budget with most things

The older revisions have 1333 supports, at least I hope so as mine is a V1.1 on F10 bios.
