Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Revision 2.1

[Eshita The Techie]

what is the difference between the Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Revision 2.0 and Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Revision 2.1 (What changes were made)? And when / where you can buy the newer version? No matter where I look, the MB with the new version is currently nowhere for sale. I am looking here for more information on Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3 Revision 2.1. I am sure that members will help me..

Has been delivered yet. Probably differs only in the memory interface. In Rev. 2.1 is addressed to the memory to 2000 +, 1866 + instead. Find it to be honest something stupid on the website advertising for a product make no difference to the previous version or a marked to call arrives. The revision 2.0 of the 1866 memory was not, so now there are so the 2.1 (ie, my question of when and where to buy it because who likes to buy a defective product).

1866MHz memory clock requires special memory modules and a dedicated CPU. AMD will officially support until the next CPU architecture, memory clock cycles in the region. Gigabyte maintains all or centrally. If in TW / Asia, a new model comes out, then finds it relatively fast on the German side. Most of Europe is served but only relatively late. Because of the extremely rapid revision jump affects almost all AMD models would be appropriate in principle, even an official website about the differences. The uncertainty of the users is currently very high, which also support the fact only a few weeks old "older" revison (keyword: EOL) is concerned. It seems so partly to changes in component (Core Boost module, chip + MOSFET) in the layouts to go and not only for better RAM support.

Do you know where I remember is this thing in my current MB from ASUS wars so that from a certain revision also faster CPUs are supported. So it is with a FW update could use them (later). But this was only 12-14 Months after the appearance of MBs announced. Now I do not want what the Gigabyte towards CPU or stability has made, and I am buying for the same money the worse ... . Could someone of the mods here to ask the sales start, because I'm certainly not the only one waiting on it.
