This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-X79-UP4 LGA 2011 Intel X79 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Pros:
Worked right out of the box. No problems updating drives. Paired with a i7 4820k and love it. Video is a 7970 and haven't had any bios problems. Love how ez it is to overclock. 3D bios isnt half bad. A little lag but its not a con. 3D power is nice and has boosted performance. I guess I was lucky that I got a good board. Quad channel is sick fast. I haven't had a solid build in years. I can say with this set up its a beast. Always wanted a Gigabyte and i am loving it.
Cons:
a few, why isnt the cpu fan header closer to the cpu? I understand if you got a huge after market heat-sink but I dont. Should have added on wireless just cause lol. Should have come in black and blue or black and red lol but love the black and grey. And a on board debug would have been nice. I put it together and just crossed my fingers..
Overall Review:
Isn't too big of a mobo but make sure it fits in your case, duh.. If you got the money I would drop it on this. Don't go for those 170-200 boards...you going to wish you drop some real money when it starts crashing and you are rmaing all day...
