nice!!!! yea F5A is like a benching BIOS i think, F4 was the last normal BIOS i got. I am sure new one comes soon.

Board is basically UD5H with minor adjustments. Pretty good for release, most mature a GB board has been on release in a long time.

Good to hear you are next! at newegg it says $250? Is that too much?

$250 is an excellent price, for God's sake, it will be some 205-206 €
And that's the price for a UD5H right now here in Italy
Hoping for a sooner price decrease in Europe as well rolleyes.gif

Sin,
if is IR3563 Digital PWM on board?
As I try in the same time that AIDA64,HWiNFO and SIV display right info.

Edit:
PCH temperature very low compare to my previous D3H,only 43C.

Here is new HWiNFO64 4.01.1694 Beta,
work fine with this board.

Seems that PCH temp is much lower.

When will newegg or anyone else get the UP5 back in stock? Days, Weeks , or Months and how did they sell out so quick limited supply or huge demand? Did Gigabyte just send or produce a limited number of these and they are ramping up production or is going to be a slow process. I know these are tough question just wondering if there is an insider with some answers. I am in the middle of a build and everything is ordered except the MB ( I was seconds away from getting UD5H and did a last second browse and the UP5 and UP4 had just been posted on Newegg ). I am pretty much set on waiting for the UP5 unless it is going to be a month before I can get one.

wheee.gif

edit: They were back in stock shortly after posting this thanks for the heads up deXel

1more question SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold for $119 OR CORSAIR Professional Series HX650 FOR $74 AR

FYI I went with the Seasonic, I would have gone for the HX if it was not for the light Blue color, seasonic reviews, the fact that the seasonic was fully modular, looks a lot better and It was $25 savings now and $20 rebate. I thought about the X560 as it was $12 dollars less and has gold plated connectors but thought I might need the extra power if I SLI/CF in the future nor am I sure how much TB devices will draw. I am pretty sure that this will go on sale for $99 this weekend or they will relist the X660 as that is how my luck runs with Newegg but all my parts will be here in 2 days and I am ready to put this thing together. I ordered a CM 212 heatsink but I am not sure if I am going to use it as I am worried about putting extra strain/weight on the motherboard as it is vertical. I might stick with the stock at first and see how hot the i3570K runs.
