Gigabyte Intel Z77 LGA 1155 AMD CrossFireX/NVIDIA SLI W/ HDMI,DVI,DispayPort Dual UEFI BIOS ATX Motherboard GA-Z77X-UD3H - Review

Phenomenal board when paired with Intel i5 3570k CPU
I picked up this board for my latest build which included Intel's latest Ivy Bridge i5 3570k CPU, and I must say that I am extremely pleased with everything that this board has to offer.

PROS
-I had no problems overclocking my 3570k to 4.5 GHz on this board.
-Outstanding power control/delivery: In terms of voltage this board delivers exactly what the BIOS says it does (I've had problems with other boards and power delivery when OC'ing).
-On-board power/reset buttons, BIOS switch button, and even a button to clear CMOS are all very handy. I feel much more comfortable clearing CMOS values with an on-board button rather than removing the battery.
-3D BIOS is very flashy and user-friendly. The mouse support is a great addition as well.
-Dual BIOS (via on-board switch) is a handy feature: if one BIOS is corrupted or irreparably damaged you can boot from the second BIOS.
-Supports up to 32 GB Dual Channel RAM.
-Many USB ports (14) and 6Gb/s SATA...

Customer review : Great Board, & Some Helpful Tips.
This is an EXCELLENT entry/mid level motherboard packed with the latest technical features, and at a VERY good price ($149) for what you get! Includes things like; (6) USB 3.0 ports, (2) SATA 3.0 ports, a PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot, Intel's new z77 chipset (optimized for Ivy Bridge CPUs), an mSATA SSD slot (for a solid-state hard drive), an onboard 2-digit LED diagnostics display, an "all-digital" voltage regulator, and Gigabyte's standard dual BIOS chips. The board instantly recognized my Intel Ivy Bridge CPU with no problems. The mobo arrived pre-installed with BIOS version "F7", and I updated it to the newest "F17" BIOS with no complications. Gigabyte boards are among the highest quality mobo's on the market (IMO), and they have a long-standing reputation for stability & reliability. As a result, I didn't have a single problem on the build or initial boot-up. I have been building my own computers for the past 16 years, and have never had a single problem with Gigabyte...
