Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R

[PClark99]

For those that have been waiting. This board should be 400FSB capable for the matx crowd that has been waiting for such a thing.

They selling them a day early. Sweet! :beer:

Ugh, this motherboard is killing me! I want to sell it but none of the major distributors even have it available and have told me they don't have the ability to get it themselves yet.

Perhaps only the big retail stores got them and the distributors will be later...a little odd but oh well.

I have been keeping an eye on your store Steve, if I could have bought it from you first believe me I would have done so in a heartbeat.

Maybe I will buy board #2 from you when you get them.

You guys to to beware of this. THe launch date is June 4. If you get it early, yes you get to experience new products but warranty wise, I am kind of afraid. You never know whether the manufacturer will provide warranty for these.

Its like buying a PS3 in the U.S. and bring it to Europe or Asia. No warranty will be provided.

None that I have seen.

I have mine built.

It takes my e6400 to 3200 easily. 400MHz FSB FTW.

Gotta have RAM that runs DDR1000 though, but RAM is cheap right now so thats not a show stopper.

Will cheap DDR2-800 be enough?

Best reviews are over on HardForum (SFF section) by users. Also at XS forums (intel section). Top end I hear is 484fsb. Top stable is 466fsb. Due to its lack of 1:1 divider it needs good RAM. Best results coming from Ballistix RAM. Thats what most users are using so far to get the high overclocks. For right now I'd avoid the cheap stuff till we hear of more testing.

I am having a really, Really hard time finding a board that will run an E4300 at the 1066 strap. Will this do it? Even if I have to do the BSEL pad mod, that's fine. I've already wasted money on two boards (MSI G965M-FI, Asus P5B-VM) that check CPUID and lock out the system if the BSEL mod is detected. The P5B-VM supports FSB overclocking, but my RAM, or something (not sure what) doesn't allow any overclocking above 210FSB on the 800 strap.

My wife is letting me build a new Q6600 system when the intel price drop hits but I can no longer go for a tower system because of space issues in our office but i can go with matx. Could anyone recommend a matx case where i can put in this mobo, an 8800gts 640mb, and an aftermarket cooler to overclock the cpu? I have no idea what to go with in terms of HSF and case to make this all fit.

Thermaltake Lanbox, Qpack, Qmicra v1 and v2, Microfly, and if you want something like a normal case, the Silverstone J08 (matx tower). There are some others but those are the ones I can remember off the top of my head.

Don't forget the short little Lian Li A05 and A05B

i know this is an old thread, but did anyone notice that they displayed the GA-G33M-S2 and not the GA-G33M-DS2R?
