I have not yet loaded the stuff from the Gigabyte CD that came with the MB. The windows update just happened by itself right after windows got installed. I only have done the RAID drivers using F6 during boot. Actually, I don't think they call out F6 any more with VISTA, instead there is a point...
That's a good question and after updating I could see no difference in the setup. I think there are some fixes listed on the Gigabyte site, also think none of the fixes were an issue with my system. Glad to hear you like your DQ6, do you have rev 1.0 like me? I think Gigabyte makes a good board...
A thread with myself....
I finally got it to stop long enough to see the BIOS version, it was F4, I updated it to the latest, F6 without issues using a USB flash. Now I have to give loading VISTA a try and see if it will take an F6 driver load from USB instead of floppy.
Well, I'm back with good news for me...The thing is up and running it seems. I have not loaded Vista yet but it came up in the BIOS etc and I set some things that needed setting such as memory voltage increase to 2.1 volts etc.
Now my question is how do I find what BIOS version is on the MB...
Thanks for the tip - I was aware of the pin rotation. I have an E6600 system that I built and the heatsink is the same and it just snapped in real easy. This Gigabyte board, it almost seems that the whole processor assembly sits too high causing it to be close to impossible to get the heat sink...
Now I have another problem that I've never had before when building a system. I cannot get the Intel fan installed, I cannot get the pushpins to stay locked and also cannot get all 4 of them down. It seems to be to far to force down the heat sink to me. I'm at a total loss with this and very...
I just got my Gigabyte DQ6 MB today from Newegg, the DDR2 version and was surprised to see it's a REV 1.0. instead of 1.1.
Only thing I can tell that could be different is the heat sinks. Am I screwed with this or am I ok, I don't care about overclocking and oversized fans etc.

Not sure but it may be because you have the controller set to IDE in the bios instead of AHCI mode.
