| To wit, I don't think Gigabyte is screwing us over so much as trying to take the easy way out, tossing the board owners under the proverbial bus. But you at least have a documented response (whatever it's worth) proving they have made some incorrect statements. |

I didn't want to jump in here for fear of becoming even more persona non gratis on this GB enthusiast board.
I just received from GB my UD5 board which has never worked and which has been RMA'd twice. You would not believe the run-around, oh excuse me for being so polite, the outright lies they told me. They said my board had been shorted out in two places. Indeed the board they returned to me was. It had several arrows affixed to the back of the board pointing toward some obviously shorted-out places. Interesting: 1) I always use an elastic grounding strap 2) I always wear vinyl (allergic to latex ) gloves so as not to get body oils and other grunge on my boards when I am working on them.The Board Gigabyte returned to me was not even the board I sent them! And how do I know that? Well, boys and girls, Homie Da Clown here has been lied to by GB so much he marked the board in three places with indelible marker. I don't wish to close down this thread. All I can say to all you GB Enthusiasts is that I have some Prime Land in Florida For Sale |

I sent of a question to Gigabyte. Turns out they are working on a BIOS fix for Bulldozer support. Here is the response I got.
