Gigabyte RULES!

Do not listen to the reviewer below... This is a near perfect motherboard as is the Gigabyte EX58-UD3R Non SLI Version. First of all if your using windows applications to do your overclocking, you shouldn't be overclocking in the first place! The system BIOS is the only place one should adjusting timings and or increasing front side bus frequencies IMO. If your overclocking from within Windows using 3rd party OC applications, your just asking for problems! The BIOS on this board is excellent for OC and Offers complete control over virtually everything! I have built 10 machines with this motherboard, not one single defect or RMA. This board will detect any amount of RAM right out of the box. This board will enable SLI, detect a second video card right out of the box. This board will pick up any HDD or device connected to it! RAID Setup is a breeze! If your looking for a High Quality, High Performance, Hassle Free Motherboard.. This is your Ticket!

Makes lousy Meatloaf!

I am a system builder of 12 years... this mobo comes w/ my Highest recommendation! You may find a board with a lot more bling and possibly more features, but you'll have a hard time finding one that is as reliable!

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
No LAN for Win 7

Great board, everyone has already said everything great about it.

I got LAN problems. Everything else loaded fine, no problems. I didn't try the LAN without installing the drivers, don't know if that might have helped, but I did install them. I get "unknown network--no internet available."

I've read that people got the new driver from Gigabyte's site. I have Win 7 and their driver says it's only for Vista if you try to instal it on 7, even though it's NEWER than the one I am already running on 7 that came with the board.

I have contacted GB's service department and not heard from them. I built a $1200 internet PC based on reviews for this mobo and it is useless.

I have ordered a PCI NIC card in the hopes that it will provide me with internet access for this PC.
