I have decided to break down and take my gigabyte ga-8Ik1100 back to the company i bought it from with a 20 dollar restocking fee (good buddy of mine works at this store). I am next week purchasing a Abit IC7 max3 from him of course at a nice discounted rate. I will get back all my money from this gigabyte i bought minus 20 dollars and that will go towards the abit. I am very excited at all the things i could potentionally do. Gigabyte mobo's suck for ocing.
