Oh cool, I thought I had to flash the BIOS

It certainly did take a while. The OCUK Tech support chap told me to RMA the second Gigabyte Motherboard and to save waiting time, purchase another brand and they will refund me the cost of the Aorus. I just hope they honour that and do not insist on sending me a replacement as I have now paid a substantial amount for the Asus.

Anyway, you wanted pics of the build and after all the help you have offered it would be remiss of me not to comply, so here they are, the insides and front of my new machine

That's exactly what I thought, with no EIDE HHD's in there the case looks empty. It is so quiet it's untrue I will put an extra NvMe drive in there but that won't help fill the case.

I'm loving it to be honest, so much quieter and cooler than my ASUS ROG laptop.
