Pros:	This board looks great and is made from high quality components.
Cons:	Bios is terrible, Layout is mediocre at best, Overclocks like poop.

I am sorry to say but I would not recommend this board to anyone. The bios is absolute garbage. Its possibly the worst bios I have ever came across in a high end motherboard. It needs ALOT of work. There is no way to get ram stable at stock speeds, It constantly freezes when in the bios, Refuses to cold boot alot of time. Wont save any settings if you clear cmos.

I wanted this board to be good. But it just didn't cut it for me. Maybe when the bios gets better and I mean alot better then I would consider using it. But as it is now I WONT.

Pros:	Not to expensive
Cons:	Easy to mess up if attempting to OC, Lack of support from Gigabyte from my experience.Bios are terrible

I'm Going to have to give props to Chris on this one the bios on this board are totally crap. I was attempting to OC with this board and ended up frying the Ram ports due to uneven voltage lvls. I would strongly avoid this board unless you get it for free.
Gigabyte boards should be

imo.
