Pros: was fast

Cons: keep burning out, have RMAed 3 times since purchase. 3rd time was DOA still when I got it back

Other Thoughts: SO UPDATE:: IO have Had to RMA this board twice now they keep "fixing" and returning. I got thge board back a 3rd time about a month ago finally gOt to put it in and its STILL DEAD, I SENT IT BACK BECAUSE it was dead... GIGA you are about to lose me as a customer.

I just ordered this product to replace a junky PoSASUS board the first of which caught fire from a bad conductor and the second on which I am typing this cam to me RMAed with 2 dead RAM rails -_- needles to say im ticked off at asus. I am going to rma the board again and keep as a back up this will become my main board so we will see. I have used GIGA in the past and was very satisfied.

Pros: Was recommended this board with an i5 processor to upgrade from my AMD. I was told Wow will run better with Intel chips over AMD, I have always bough AMD and continue to buy their GPU cards. But, there is absolutely NO lag or chop during 40 man raids when the spell damage is high. My friends advice proved correct, intel chips run it better than the AMD, regardless of graphics card.

Cons: It is priced higher than AMD but it definitely runs my game smoother.

Pros: awesome bios, high quality, sexy, really helpful instruction manual, red led around the conections

Cons: non so far

Pros: Looks great, runs great.

Cons: None

Pros: Well built. Solid. Wicked fast.

Cons: Had a problem with the onboard sound (something about the female connector I think) but that wasn't worth taking apart the whole build and returning the board. An inexpensive sound card was a better solution for me. One little issue on one board shouldn't count against the product unless others have the same issue.

Other Thoughts: Built my system with a 3.5 GHz Intel i5-4690K quad core CPU and a Cooler Master Hyper Master 212 EVO CPU cooler. Nice fast cool system build.

Pros: Looks cool

Cons: Nothing so far.

Pros: The board came with four sata cables which is amazing. The appearance of the board is very appealing. The layout is simple and reliable. The led lights are bright and are a very nice touch.

Cons: The board came dead on arrival. I am probably just a fluke since gigabyte is a very reliable company and brand.

Other Thoughts: I am replacing the dead board with a replacement. I really want to use this board because it has such great potential. Fingers crossed for an operational board this go around.

Pros: Red!
Cool led that borders the side of the mobo.
Very nice looking BIOS.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: Seemed like a nice priced MOBO that would work well in my gaming build. I've been using it for about a month and it's working great.

Pros: All the ports i'd ever need
great build quality, easy to read and layout is mostly great
feature-filled BIOS.
ridiculously fast boot while paired with an SSD.

Cons: The CD/DVD that came with it is absolute incredible garbage.
Layout for the pins for the case could be a bit better.
USB 3.0 connect port wasn't too secure,

Other Thoughts: Tons of ports, most went unused since this is a dedicated gaming PC and I don't really have a need for so many things like USB ports and tons of SSDs/HDDs. Board looks slick, the BIOS is crazy interesting, havent even messed with it really yet, but through a couple glances, it looks fun to mess with. This board has some super fast boot that gets me in windows in something like under 10 seconds since I'm paired with a nice Samsung 840 SSD. My monitor barely turns on all the way by the time I'm already logged in.

Negatives:
I have never had such a badly made included software CD like that. ever. Ended up downloading a few of the critical drivers off Gigabyte's website. The LAN port comes with some "Killer" software I can't seem to get rid of without removing the driver. Not sure why it's there. I disabled most of the program but i wish it would never come up.
Layout for the pins for the case could be a bit better. USB 3.0 connect port wasnt too secure, but still held. just a little wiggly.

Pros: -Great looking board
-Very nice bios
-Good price (when i bought it at least)

Cons: -Doesn't tell me it loves me

Other Thoughts: Got it for 100 bucks and at that price was a steal IMO. Really like the BIOS and the looks of the board. Lights on it are a nice touch.
