This is... Amazing!

With Enthusiasts wanting to do a full upgrade roughly once every 3 years realistically (at least in my experience) does this mean Gigabyte customers will only have to pay for a motherboard once every 6 years?

This is one hell of a play

3 years? Really, I never keep one that long myself, I like new toys too much. But the warranty is for UP to 3 years, so after 9 to 18 months, upgrade :)

I would say the average is 3 years for a full upgrade within the enthusiast community. By that I mean new chipset, mobo etc and not just a throw in upgrade of a new GPU, SSD etc.

I'd love to upgrade more often but aside from GPUs I haven't found the need to upgrade more often than around 3 years. Not that I can afford to anyway :p

That's what I meant too, a full upgrade and new Mobo, CPU and all the rest, 12 months is pushing it for obsolescence. Remember Moore's Law.

I think 3 years for a hobbyist is about right though.
An enthusiast is a bit more demanding that that.

Like I said that's my opinion based on the orders I see come through the shop here.
