Great Board
- Pros: This board is great. It gives you all the features your looking for. The Hybrid Silent Pipe cooling system they supply you with is also very efficient. Ive never had a problem with this motherboard (this is my second one). Gigabyte supplies you with alot of apps on the installation CD. Overclocking is fairly easy due to the extensive options that are presented to you on this board. Recommend the Zalman CNPS9900LED CPU Fan if your going to overclock.
- Cons: I think Gigabyte shouldve placed the sata ports at a different angle. If you have a small case, they can be hard to get to.
- Other Thoughts: I recommend this board to ANY overclocker. If you just want a solid motherboard for your i7, go with the UD5, but if you want to overclock, this is definetly the best board out there. Gigabyte scored big with this one, even though i think they could drop the price =)
Lots of Searching led to this
- Pros: Well made, lots of SATA and other inputs, the water cooling northbridge is nice. All in all a very nice motherboard and overclocking is very easily doable.
- Cons: Not a lot. Runs a little on the warm side.
- Other Thoughts: Core i7 965
