Gigabyte GA-870A-UD3

I recently built a new system with this mother board. Went together well. Seems well designed.

One oddity: the on board NIC got stuck. Would not connect. No LEDs. BIOS has a nifty test tool to check the connection. It thought no cable. Swapped cable, ..., no joy. Turned in a trouble report to Gigabyte. Still waiting on that.

Just to try everything, I turned off power on the system from the power supply. This turns off everything including the trickle of power to the NIC. This solved the problem. Now the NIC is happy and useful.
