[QUOTE="Kotik, post: 1196548, member: 89825"] It already had F4 from factory. Already RMAed it and ordered Asrock H170M-ITX together with Intel G3900T that supports 16 PCIe direct lanes to the CPU, so plenty of bandwidth. The only downside is that this mobo doesnt have a PCI slot and instead has PCIe which means i will either have to buy a new DVBS2 card with a PCIe interface or i could experiment a bit with some interesting PCIe to PCI adapters that are sold for around 30 euro. Of course these adapters are essentialy a PCI to PCIe bridge chip and i am again taking a risk of having the same issues but at least this time i know that the bridge will run on its own dedicated PCIe lane directly connected to the CPU. This way i can keep my SkyStar HD2 and be happy. At least now i will have an alternative available in case it doesnt work. I can get a TBS PCIe card and waste 30 euro on a useless adapter that i will never use:-) I will let u know how it went when i finally get all the hardware.
