Cons:None experienced so far
Pros:Great price with the MIRReliable so farGood feature set for the price point Comment:
This is the first time in my past few systems that I have gone away from an ASUS mb. This wasn't due to any probs with ASUS in the past, but Gigabyte won me over with their feature set at this price point. So far the board has worked great. |

GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P ATX Intel Motherboard w/ USB 3.0 & SATA 6 Gb/s
Cons:If you plug in a SATA3 device or activate the USB3 ports then that steals some bandwidth from the video card slot from the P55 chipset. However, that is true for any motherboard with separate controller USB3 and SATA3 support, not just this Gigabyte board.
Pros:Board uses Lotes socket, not Foxconn. Excellent overclocking ability, has all the bells and whistles at this price point, SATA holes are turned at 90 degree angle, supports USB3 and SATA3, comes with lots of SATA cables. Comment:
Bought this for my new LGA1156 setup. I've got an Intel Core i7 860 going at 4GHz 24/7 effortlessly. The board stays very cool and has all the features you would expect at this price point. |
Pretty good board, future friendly too with USB3.0 and SATA3 support. Was able to overclock an i5 750 to 4GHz on it.I don't know why they bother putting the top PCIE 1x there in the first place since it's not usable by most PCIE 1x cards cause the northbridge heatsink is in the way.
