There's cleaner CPU power delivery and this mobo allows for OC to 1600 FSB which means underclocking could potentially give better results.

I plan to get one of these as well.

  Should I order this( Gigabyte's GA-EG31M-S2) or Gigabyte GA-G31M-S2L? Are they similar size wise?

  • Not yet - it seems GA-G31M-S2L is better. - cics 08:02:14 08/06/08 (0)

  Hi cics,

  I am using the GA-G31M-S2L with the E7200 in my new setup but my friend Andre is using the GA-EG31M-S2. He has not been able to lower the CPU clock below 266, any lower and the board doesn't boot, which required a BIOS reset. The same with the RAM timings, he can't reach 2.0 to get the 3-3-3-9 latencies, the best was 4-4-4-10. In addition, when we communicated with Gigabyte's tech support we were never able to get them to understand we were trying to under-clock the board and they said we should use the default settings! He has now ordered the GA-G31M-S2L and will use the other board for other kinds of tests which we will talk about later.

  As I get mine optimized (After reinstalling XP for the 3rd time!), I will post more here as well.

  Daniel

  • Thx. I've also asked Gigatbyte to open CPU frequency setting (below 266). Let's see what happens. - cics 08:04:31 08/06/08 (0)
