Pros: Easy setup, great audio, and stable performance. Recognized the XMP settings of my memory and automatically adjusted all settings.
Cons: Still some superfluous utilities but they're getting better. SSDs are still expensive so I haven't had a chance to try the SATA 6.0 but this IS A BUDGET BOARD so if you're looking at the few complaints about the PCI lanes stepping down to x8 then maybe you should spend the extra $$ on the X58.
Other Thoughts: I got this board as a replacement to the MSI P55-GD65 that I had all sorts of problems with (random freezing, usb disappearing, useless OC Genie). I just want things to work without having to check all the forums to find out what my voltage settings should be at. I put this board in, changed the RAID settings, selected the XMP profile for my memory, selected quick booting, and I was done. I had to spend hours adjusting the BIOS of the MSI board just to get my RAM to run at 1600 like it's supposed to without blowing up the CPU multiplier.
I can't believe how much more responsive my system is compared to the MSI board even with no overclocking. This is my second Gigabyte and I'll be sticking with this brand from here on out.

Pros: Can't fill this out til I can get POWER to the motherboard.
Cons: Plugged everything in, knowing if the PHASE LEDS/power LED does not turn on, there's no power getting to the motherboard. I hit the switch and nothing happens. This PSU has been tested in other systems and is working. I even used a backup PSU on this motherboard and an older motherboard. It works in the older one, enough to power it.
Other Thoughts: NewEgg, please stop sending me dead motherboards. :( I had a dead ASUS I just had to get RMA-Refunded, and now I've got completely dead cannot-be-powered Gigabyte!
