https://www.aria.co.uk/static/ads/z68_competition/gbt-z68.jpg


Hi Guys,

As it's another bank holiday again this weekend, we are giving away more free kit, this time with the brand new Sandy Bridge Gigabyte X-UD4-B3 FREE!

Gigabyte GA-X-UD4 Intel XXX (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard

GIGABYTE's cutting edge 16 phase power VRM design utilizes the highest caliber components to provide unadulterated, smooth power to the CPU. The innovative 16 phase power VRM has been designed and engineered to deliver fast transient response times through quick and seamless power delivery during extensive CPU loading variations. In addition, heat from the VRM is effectively reduced by spreading the load between the 16 power phases, resulting in a cooler, more stable platform.


What do I need to do?

Keeping things nice and simple, I want you to answer the following question..

What is GIGABYTE's latest BIOS called?

a.) TouchBIOS
b.) FlickBIOS
c.) StrokeBIOS

Love you too RawZ :P


Awesome prize though, innit.

[ThunderFlash]

How did I miss this :picard:

[I3R0K3N7FEET]

btw im curious.. but on the front it says 108db... that motherboard isnt secretly a jet engine is it?

[Icm76]

Just a pretty meaningless attempt to quantify the sound quality as signal to noise ratio (SNR) It looks good to have big numbers on the box, but it doesn't really tell you anything useful. Wouldn't worry about it, I expect the onboard sound is good quality in all the ways that do matter :)

You can read the blurb about it for the P67 version of the board: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3759#ov


108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio playback
GIGABYTE strongly believes that in 2011, HD audio playback is a standard specification, and as such, we have made Blu-ray audio playback a standard for all of our motherboards.
All of GIGABYTE's 2011 motherboards feature higher capability audio solution with 108dB Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) playback quality to deliver high-performance, multi-channel HD audio. SNR is a comparison of the amount of signal to the amount of noise such as hiss present in the signal (expressed in Decibels). A higher SNR equals a better audio experience. For example, 108dB, is a high audio specification, as this means the audio signal is 108dB higher than the level of the noise.

[Smifis]

How did I miss this :picard:
wait.. 12pm hasn't came yet, it's 12am has past, but not 12 pm, which is mid day.

Correct?

[Peter]

wait.. 12pm hasn't came yet, it's 12am has past, but not 12 pm, which is mid day.

Correct?

You are indeed correct, there's still time to enter! :thumb:

[redrooster303]

I read abit back that the z68 boards would be out on the 4th-5th may and with this comp being for a gigabyte z68 board (says in pic at bottom of box "intel z68 chipset inside" plus the big Z lol) does this mean they will be unveiled in a couple of days?
Obviously Aria has them in stock as that picture was taken on Rawzs desk by the looks of it. Better get phoning up then to find out about some more sandy stuff:thumb:
Gonna be a pain taking my current B2 board out and having to redo it all and reinstall win7 again:picard:

Great Comp though RAWZ, didn't notice which board it was when I first entered:cool:

[UrKo]

Fingers crossed....

[EzyRyder]

Me too - it would be great as I need a board for my 2500k :)

[superlattice09]

I want it!! A good start for my new SB build :D!
Would have had made my purchase if I didn't spend my fund (£800) on my wife's flight ticket. ergg... I've prepared for another "fund raising" and rip my old P4 apart (:cry sad, it's been with me for 8 years)

[sibeer]

Nice and simple, just like me :)

[Smifis]

You are indeed correct, there's still time to enter! :thumb:
At least I got one thing correct last night :D
