so.....while everyone else is doing Reviews we only get Previews at tpu? Not saying you did a bad job because the Preview was excellent,i just think Previews take away from your Review :)

Yes, only a preview. Was actually done before the launch of the CPU, and Gigabyte got me the board early last week. I "handed it in" after the launch though, and other reviews already planned left it until today.

Still lots to cover: BIOS, software, performance, and overclocking.


I have no 1155 CPUs though, so no review is possible at this time.:banghead: However, we did have a user asking about the board as well as a few others, so I got up what I could ASAP. ;)

Thanks for clearing that up, did I miss it at the begining of the review? If not, definately should add.

Great job Dave.

Great job Dave.

It already is. ;)

we've got another board preview before we retreat into the bunker to torture and interrogate Intel's latest

Actual timing as to when I got stuff, and when the review published, is not needed. It's technically already here in the forums too, as I always post a pic of the stuff I get the day I get it, in one form or another.


And frankly, if I had a chip for the board, there'd be more than a preview. Just sayin'. No need to state the obvious, IMHO, but here ya guys are asking, so here I go explainin'. :roll: Next I'll start directing you to W1zz for answers.:laugh:
