And is this board really that old that SATA is faster than 2? I see your board is SATA3 I was hoping this build would be not quite top of line based on information I had for long ago. I was impressed with to me, how advanced this board was. And to swing the i7-970, I thought higher number = faster computer. Ive had to learn the hard way I should of researched a lot more about when a mobo came on the market. I only saw "NEW" on the listing and thought it was current :-(

My board is SATA III but it's M.2 port is only 10Gbps (PCIe 2.0 x2) which slow down my PM981 (PCIe 3.0 x4) by a factor of 3+ for sequential read and 2+ for sequential write :(
SATA II can transfer up to 300MB/s, any decent SSD can least read faster than that.
AMD is making a comeback with very powerful not very expensive.

currently in middle installing Win10Pro started last night then it said connect to Inet, except I had to run network cable down to desk from modem upstairs Had to run cable and attach rj45's BRB
Are hdmi hot swappable ? shifting case from shelf the monitor hdmi pulled out while at spot windows install asks for internet connection. I don't want to plug in rj45 until I get signal back to monitor, says no signal Ive turned monitor off and on hoping would "catch" but no luck might have to reboot computer?
I unplugged hdmi cable to monitor and plugged it into this laptop typing this on and pc monitor works so im thinking on starting over by rebooting and start install all over
I wound up having to pull plug and start over. Right now Im on new build computer. I have Win10Pro installed on SSD. after all calmed down as far as OS installed, Ive shut down twice and rebooted and seems good. Not as fast on boot up as I imagined but a lot still goes on during bootup. Check DMI(?) boot from cd? always pops up, I leave alone and it goes into windows. I just relised I have to get into BIOS to switch boot order.
I went to install the cd/dvd that came with the motherboard, " Intel 5-series Utility DVD" from Gigabyte, and apparently the software wont work with Win10. computer says not work with Win98/ME? I noticed on cd/dvd says Vista/ XP and windows 7 I still get that pixelated screwed up screen first on bootup. Thinking might be Gigabyte Logo screen and was hoping Gigabyte software would of "fixed" that.
No need for any board CDROM windows 10 already have all the drivers built in, however the sound driver may lack some features, you can try and download a newer compatible driver.
Did you update the BIOS already?
You can disable full screen logo in BIOS somewhere.
For the past 4 days tweak town would not accept my password. And forget about using reset password as I'm still waiting 4 days from first request I made. So I created a new user , no more BruceY30. NOW Bruce19
doin this saved a lot of ainxed for me
BIOS F7. Only way to see that was to video when went into post. Have not updated that yet
when it's booting up. A screen pops up first looks like a list of what's in pc and at bottom says DMI scan. What's this and how stop

The boot screen artifact may be gone if you update the BIOS, and t can be disabled in BIOS, it's the first thing I do after loading defaults.
I thought the whole point was to get the i7-920 to flash BIOS.
Yes I am after the use of my i7-970 cpu. Currently bios at F7. I looked on Latest bios but not sure which IF there is correct one. Mobo is GA-EX58-UD5. Rev1
Did you flash the F7 BIOS?
It is interesting F7 says to update microcode but it's date s a year before the release of i7-970, F9 says to support 6 core processors. GA-EX58-UD5 (rev. 1.0) | Motherboard - GIGABYTE Global
