I think you should clarify over the phone 1st. I did my swap at c-zone today no hassle... Just bring along receipt and if possible your box too. I throw away my box but they still accept it but they will keep the new b3 box. Fine to me. Waited bout 30mins to 45mins and its done.

Do i need to reformat windows after the swap? The technician advised me to do so... Which is very troublesome for me.. Need to backup alot of stuff.

i'm replied ur pm edi, btw my friend already call and ask for the swap but they said no stock (and wtf i go their website and dl the pricelist they got list the model that i wanna to switch which is p67a-ud3p-b3)

dam sad.... when received my money then action fast fast, when got problem just lie to me... wtf....

An update for everyone, i finally gotten my new B3 motherboard, after several calls made to vendor and NationTech, buggered them till i get my board swapped.
Hope you guys get yours soon too. Good luck!

Seems that B3 series slowly has been distributed to small numbers of customers.

not mine. no news at all on the arrival of the ud7-b3. really getting on my nerves.

at the end, going to receive my gigabyte 6990 first before the replacement mobo. really potong stim.

So how does this thing work now? Been waiting forswapping my p67-uD3, kindly answer several questions below

1. Do i take my motherboard+box+every accessories to the shop i purchase
2. The swapping is one to one or what?

If not one to one then this is really stupid decision by dealer, they expect us to wait for the board to come back with totally NO PC to use at all? Or they want us to buy another board? =.=""

owikh84 already exchange his UD7 from B2 to B3.

I already helped my friend swapping his one on the spot to B3 from C-Zone. Where did you buy that from?

I bought mine from dealer at Melaka

I suggest you try calling them and ask about it. Leave them your motherboard serial number to book one if it can be done.

Will do so, gigabyte malaysia didn't even update anything on their webpage, damn lousy customer service, will not buy any gigabyte products from now on

thanks a lot for letting me about that. seems to me the stocks for ud7 (limited quantity perhaps) have arrived. i will get niclasteoh to bark at them since he already told them few times that there is a piece here in kuching that needs to be replaced. perhaps only one ud7 in kuching is not their priority now.

hopefully i get a positive answer next week or else it will not be nice if i start to call to nationtech.

nationtech could not even confirm the ETA of the ud7-b3 stock and yet nationtech was the one saying the stock should arrived last week. what kind of master distributor is this? i think i will call them tomorrow and give them a piece of my mind. lousy distributor

I bought a Gigabyte P67A-UD3 from Cycom in January. I did all these today:
a) called them up to confirm they exchange 1-for-1
b) confirmed that they got stock
c) dismentle...
d) drove there and exchange
e) assemble again...

Wasted 3-4 hours....sien... The Mobo actually looks exactly the same except the box where the product code now comes with an extra suffix "-B3" at the back.

On the Mobo itself, they just slap a sticker "P67A-UD3-B3" on top of the printed "P67A-UD3". And at the corner of the Mobo it still says "rev1.0". 0.o'

Can I check with those who had their Gigabyte Mobo replaced that this is indeed the revised Mobo? I can't help but wonder if I am being tricked...

Is there a way to check in the system?

I installed CPU-Z and realized that it is the revised B3 indeed.

According to GB web site,
UD4;UD3;UD3P and UD3R - B3 series should be Rev.1.1.
So far,mostly are Rev.1.0 and sticker on board.

The PCB may have already been premade but componentry that gets put on them later would have been updated hence why label is on it.

Bad news, just contacted the shop which I bought from ( Melaka ), they said i need to send in the board ( NOT 1 to 1 Replacement ) and wait for 2-3weeks for them to send the replacement board, any idea why are there double standard for the replacement program?

i think it is also the individual shop responsibility to follow up with the replacements.

nationtech told my dealer that ud7-b3 is currently limited in stock. so no stock till perhaps next week. really giving me false hope only

Sigh, that means i got no choice but to send the board and wait for the replacement, really sucks

yeah, since u got the board from that shop, i think you will be under their mercy. i also feel that the gigabyte distributors might not be following strictly what gigabyte had put up at their website.

one of the forummer already received his ud7-b3 and nationtech was saying no stock. so i guessed something is wrong somewhere.

In Singapore,B3 no problem at all,on regular supply.

stasio, that's why i said that something is wrong. maybe nationtech just not serious enough to secure some stocks.
