Gigabyte GA-MA790FXT-UD5P Comments

looks like amd could be coming back on form what with the havok am3 and all. Lets hope they couple everything together and make it play nice for that soopa compoota!

I've had this board for about 6 weeks, had to send it off for warranty repair, the guys at gigabyte were very quick at finding nothing wrong with my board, Knowing I did have a system board fault I complained and was invited to bring my other hardware items for checking in the machine. ie. Processor, Mem ory and 10 Hard disks.

I was immediately shocked when I found that the engineer working on my board proceeded to fit my memory and Processor etc to the board without any kind of anti static control.

I really shouldn't have been suprised when smoke started pouring from two of my Hard Disk Drives. With a look of total shock on my face the engineer suggested that it'll be ok as my HDDs were still under warranty. I don't know what damage has been done to the System Boar, processor or memory. I have pictures of all the manhandling I decided that it would be in my interest to have some evidence... I Just hope they respond to my complaint, in the meantime DO NOT PURCHASE ONE OF THESE BOARDS, I'll update this comment if I hear anything back from them.
