Sorry i haven't written back. I had to RMA my Gigabyte board. I recieved a boot loop problem that apparently gigabyte boards are known for having this boot loop problem. It was stating "waiting for ME ready" and then a countdown. It ends up basically getting lost in itself. You can try and breadboard the whole system to try and figure it out, but its pretty well documented across forums that its the bios that are screwed up. no CMOS reset wont work, tried new battery, new PSU, CPU, its the board. I don't know if it was due to the overclocking with the mix of flashing the bios, but something just didnt mix well. So i will be trying a new overclock and test when the board arrives.
The new BIOS Version 11 should help with it. It is out now.

I just installed it on a brand new setup using all the same parts except: 128 gb SSD, 16gb kingston hyperx 1600mhz (red edition), a phantom 410 (black) and the NZXT 850w Bronze edition, instead of gold and it works just fine, no problems.
I am not sure if this works as an update (will let you know) because i get my new motherboard today. It is the same model, hopefully i have better luck with this one. I will post back if everything works out okay on this one wiht just flashing the bios.
