nice :D don't think I'll go with another msi board though, this one is aweful for overclocking :(

thats a shame, must be a dud, all the ones ive had have been fantastic. With sandy bridge i think that gigabyte and asus really dropped the ball, i would only go with MSI or ASrock and seeing as MSI have a wider range and are a little cheaper, ive gone with them :)
 
I have a p55a-g55, and it's either my cpu or my motherboard, but the bios on this board is rather limited, so I'm blaming it on my motherboard :p but another reason is that msi boards also don't fit in with my theme, only trouble is that there is only one board that does fit in with my black, white and orange theme, and that's the x58a-oc :(

that is annoying... are gigabyte planning on releasing a black/orange board for SB?
 
yeah, but I'm struggling to save up enough for a 2500k :p I think I'd go for either the gigabyte z68a-ud4 or the asrock extreme4 gen3 although cleeecooo already has this, as they are the only motherboards that will fit in with my theme at an alright price with nice features :)

make sure you do all your maths homework then and get a good job :D :p :D

those are nice boards, i was thinking about those too - all black :cool::cool::cool:

what cpu are you running at the moment then?
 
i3 540, but I bought a p8p67 le off of cleeecooo that I'll use (if it works :p) with a 2500k (when I can afford it) until christmas/when I can afford a z68 motherboard

is this that motherboard that he advertised as the worst board in the world? :p
 
yeah :p if it doesn't work I'll rma it :p but he said no power was going through it which may have just been his psu *fingers crossed*
 
it was a good 'stepping stone' to upgrade to sandy bridge :p
I may have found cleeecooo's problem with the board, there was a bent pin :eek: but I straightened it out :p
