Aside from the included software (a bit of which caused my computer to repeatedly blue screen [I didn't install anything aside from the ethernet driver after the second Windows installation attempt, and haven't had an issue since]), this is an excellent, essentially perfect motherboard to use as the foundation for a new Sandy Bridge system (I went with the 2500k). It has basically anything you could ever want or need in a board, and features (essential, in my opinion) that other boards simply do not offer. These include:-Dolby Home Theater (v1), which includes Dolby Digital Live 5.1 (5.1 gaming over optical/coaxial [this board has both!]); also provides Pro Logic IIx (5.1 - 7.1 with centering and rear expansion adjustments...pretty sweet) for any games that don't natively support 5.1 (as well as stereo-only video [Netflix], etc.), and as if that weren't enough, user-definable ten-band equalizers for each output, natural bass/sound space expander (separate options) for small desktop speakers, and Dolby Headphone (surround simulator)...I've used $100+ sound cards without this level of features and sound quality! If you plan on using a standard 5.1 receiver, Dolby Home Theater is a must!-Dual-bios (it's kicked in twice [while adjusting CPU and GPU clocks] in the week that I've owned it [the PC attempted boot twice, failed, then re-booted with prior settings from the 2nd bios automatically...awesome!])-USB 3.0 (two external, plus headers for more)-2x External SATA (plus internal headers)(I'll never use them, but it's nice that they're there)-four fan headers, each of which supports *2.5A*, per Gigabyte's response to my e-mail; CPU, System 1, System 2, Power (1 and Power run full-blast, and 2 runs half-speed by default [only CPU/Sys2 can be adjusted with SpeedFan (but not independently), and no bios speed adjustment for any headers except for CPU...my only real complaint with the board])-SLI-ready (though I'll probably trade the 560 Ti for something with 2GB [yeah, it matters] down the road instead)-12-phase CPU power...the 2500k is OC'd to 43x (base; turbo off [turbo mode (at default [34,35,36,37]) will very rarely increase the multiplier by more than 2, regardless of what you're doing (meaning that 43x base would effectively be an average OC of 22.9%); alternatively, you could set all four turbo multipliers to your target frequency, bump the wattage limit to 125-150W, etc...I don't see the point, however]) @ 1.30v (auto; can be offset to 1.26 stably, but at rest, voltage drops to .91v, which is too low for 1.6 GHz [blue screen within minutes] [1.6GHz is this processor's lowest step, regardless of your base clock setting]), but I have no doubt that you could push this thing to over 5GHz with this board and never have a hint of an issue (minus potentially overvolting [cooking] your chip)-solid caps, and obvious ultra-high-quality construction *black* PCB (high function and style...the best-looking board I've ever seen, especially in person)-2x Sata3 (no, don't need them yet...but when I hopefully upgrade the SSD to a Vertex 3, well...)-etc.Really, you can't go wrong with this board; I couldn't ask for anything else, especially at ~$200. The perfect foundation for your new 2500k gaming system! Here's mine (also check out my pics, if interested); if you're looking for a system that will run nearly all games created this generation, and *all* 360 ports (very easily), at 1080p/60fps (steadily, with no fps drops all settings maxed @ 4-16xAA) at under $1,300 (using top-rated components), I recommend duplicating this (unless you want to get to 5GHZ [for benchmarking purposes only, of course], in which case you'll need liquid):i5 2500k @ 4.3 GHz; could OC higher, but this is *plenty* fast enough (8,500+ Passmark CPU score [my previous CPU was a stock x4 810, which hit just over 3,000])...will run any game on the market at 60fps with ease (Black Ops has just become *awesome*)...note, also, that this is as high as I can go without volting to 1.35 (load-line disabled, that is)(which isn't worth the risk, to me, at this point, *since I can't max out this CPU at 4.3*)Zalman 10x Performa (which I highly recommend...my highest OC'd temp has been 56C, after heavy gaming (69C after five IBT passes on "very high")...and that's with my less-than-perfect mountMSI 560 TI @ 950MHz (3,300 Passmark GPU score @ 950; can OC to 1GHz [essentially making it a stock 570] with slight voltage bump [not really worth the risk to me, at this point, since, at this speed, it will run almost all games on the market maxed @ 1080p/60fps @ 50% utilization (or less)])8GB G-Skill 1333MHz (no compatibility issues here [and as far as I can tell, there is no reason to buy faster RAM])Vertex 2 60GB (25nm...not sure what the stink is, but my system [with *tons* of startup software] boots in under 30 seconds...really worth complaining about?)1TB WD Green (gets the job done)NZXT Beta Evo (all kinds of [unnecessary] air flow [will probably need dusting every two weeks])Antec TP-750 (New) Blue LED (which can only be seen from the back of the case...but hey, it's a great supply...literally can't feel any heat at all being vented, even when pushing over 300W)

From a performance standpoint, this board is tops. It really is nice. From every other perspective, the standard Intel board is much better. Let's look at the bad things about this board:1) Still uses a hybrid BIOS. Not a full UEFI implementation.2) Only two 6gbps SATA ports.3) 6 SATA ports but only 4 cables. HUH?4) Only the CPU fan can be controlled by BIOS or software. Other fans run at 100% or 50%. You need a separate fan controller for this board.5) The keyboard doesn't work in the hybrid UEFI/BIOS across reboots. You need to unplug it an move it into another USB controller.6) No USB3 case dongle.7) The heatsinks didn't make good contact with all board components. I had to remove and reinstall them.8) Uses more power and is hotter than the Intel reference board.When you look at all of these things, you get one impression -- cheap. They're cutting corners yet still charging a premium price. Gigabyte has definitely fallen off their game. I'd probably buy the Asus or Intel equivalent if I had to do it all over again.

I am extremely disappointed in this motherboard. The professional reviews for it are good, but they must test those before sending them to the reviewers. I have returned this board twice for the same reason. The first go around, I installed everything in my new HTPC and pressed power and then got into the bios. It recognized everything...cpu, both sticks of ram, three hard drives, the bluray drive, the video card, etc...no problems with that so I was a happy camper.I then tried to update the bios to the latest version the way their book says to with a flash drive and it told me "drive not found"...this happened with three different flash drives formatted to FAT32 (in many different usb ports) like it says. No luck there so I thought I would update the bios after installing Windows 7 Ultimate Edition. I put the disc in the and hit reset...my nightmare occurred...cold boot loop. This means that it never posts, just repeatedly reboots until you kill the power to it. This cannot be good for my components right? Please note that I accepted the optimized default in the bios...no overclocking, adjusting voltages, nothing like that...I don't understand it that well so I wouldn't mess with it.What did I do to try to right this? I reset the cmos by shorting the two pins, pulled the battery, waiting from 20 minutes to a full day before retrying. This was over the course of a few days. While doing that, I also started removing components from the equation...unplugged two hard drives (left the ssd), pulled the tv tuner card, pulled one stick of ram (alternated), uplugged the bluray drive. On top of all that trial and error, I spent hours searching the internet for enlightenment...how much time is someone supposed to spend trying to get defective product to work? Really?I threw in the towel and returned it to Amazon...their return process is great...I had the replacement board in 3-4 business day and that, I think, is impressive. First time I've ever returned anything to Amazon. Oh yeah, got the second board and thought there is no way that I would get two bad boards so I bought some thermal compound (Arctic Silver 5 I think), cleaned the processor and cpu fan very well, and put the whole computer back together. I was time for the moment of truth so I pressed the power button and got the cold boot loop right away. That took what was going to be a pretty nice Saturday and made it a bit gloomy around my house. This board (the second one) wouldn't even post once...remember that the first board recognized all my components right up until the cold boot loop. I've made several attempts to overcome this cold boot loop and get it to post...no luck. I sent a message to Gigabyte via their website and you would think by today (3.5 days later, 2 business days) I would have gotten at least a confirmation email giving me a reference number, a contact, assistance of some sort...instead, I've gotten nothing. All I have to fall back on is Amazon's great return policies...I'm getting a refund this time and not getting another Gigabyte anything, ever.If they ever do respond, I'm sure this will be either my fault or one of the other components not working properly. I would love to tell you about all the great features of this board, but I cannot think of them at the moment. Hey, I'm just a mechanical engineer so I don't claim to know all the ins and outs of computers and how troubleshoot every possible scenario, but really, should you have to be a computer genius to put a computer together? I spent quite a bit of time deciding on the components because I wanted to do everything I could to make sure everything would be compatible. Here's the rundown...i5-2500k, 8gb adata ram, evga gtx460, 128gb plextor ssd, Samsung bluray drive, Hauppauge tv tuner, 650w corsair power supply, 2tb Seagate hard drive.Haha...processed the return for refund...now they respond while I'm writing this. They want me to remove all components but one stick of ram, the vid card, processor and heatsink...did that with no luck so too little, too late.
