This Monday, Gigabyte Global Deputy Director Marketing Head Tim Handley came over to Delhi, India for Annual Conference, and we were Invited to have a chat with him. So we went prepared for a 15min. discussion and though I am late everywhere else, I came on time for this meeting and we had a free-wheeling discussion ranging various topics, so much so that our conversation went on for more than an hour. Audio is almost untouched, so please do not mind the casual tone though it has been reduced quite a bit to avoid boredom, . There were no set topic and it ranged from :

1) Marketing Strategies of Gigabyte
2) Dates for GOOC 2011
3) Promoting Overclocking in India
4) Plans for X79
5) Z68 Platform
6) Freewheeling chat about Hicookie, Dinos, Vivi, Shamino, Vince, 3D01, Abit, DFI, Sapphire,

What are the dates for GOOC 2011? (can you please tell all of them?)

Tim's a great bloke! OCers are lucky there is a guy like this working for a top manufacturer. He started pushing for our needs back in 2006 and help give some real competition in high end boards to Asus back in the day. Having top 2 manufacturers clashing head to head gives the industry some new direction. It took a while but we sure have some kick ass products coming out from Gigabyte, Asus and many others now! I think we have some seriously healthy competition in this segment and we are getting spoilt with features and product development in general that's for sure!

Completely agree, , a Marketing head who knows about the products is very heartening to see, even local Marketing team(atleast in India) from head to bottom have people who do not even know/understand a single feature of the products they are selling. Though this stands for even Gigabyte sadly.
Dinos I know its not your call since even Tim backed out but personally the biggest gripe I have with gigabyte is that they miss out on Start/Reset button on a lot of mid-end boards, is it not something that a end user asks/wants???

not really man, tweakers are not in huge numbers to justify it but i reckon we could maybe release our own internal testing boards we use with power/reset/clr cmos buttons etc, not sure if u've seen some of my old photos, i've used them for many years now.

maybe we could just make those available for purchase if ppl want to get one since they will work with all our boards across the board.

I just stripped a power switch out of an old trashed case and use that for boards without an on board button (when I know I will be cycling power a lot).

Easier than dropping the flathead on the pins
