It's a motherboard that works. It works with my Intel Q9400 and OCZ PC2-6400 Gold 8GB Quad Kit.
The motherboard comes with a "Crazy Cool" which is heatsink that goes on the opposite side of where the CPU is. I followed the instruction to install the CPU first. In fact you need to install the "Crazy Cool" because the CPU is covering one of the screw for the heatsink.
You need to get the latest bios from the manufacturer website in order to take advantage of Intel VT. Once you flash bios the VT option will appear in the setting.
The board installed easily and worked well until the sound went and other issues made the board unusable
Getting support form Gigabyte is difficult. The board died soon after the 30 day return from new egg, so I've made contact with Gigabyte and their support is null. I can understand boards that fail, and if Gigabyte had even responded to my emails and said here is how to get it replaced I would not be writing a negative review on this board
Gigabyte customer service is bad, I'd suggest u look at another manufacturer
