The Gigabyte Z97N motherboard is the overclocking successor to Gigabyte's Z87N. Along with the new chipset also comes with some improvements but other features remain questionable.
PROS: 1) The first, biggest, and most noticeable improvement is the placement of the CPU which, on the Z87N, was too close to the PCI express slot. This strange placement meant that the user had to choose their after-market CPU heatsinks very carefully as the close distance to the PCI express slot meant that many larger coolers would not fit if there is a graphics card installed. 2) The second noticeable improvement is the placement of the mini PCI slot for wifi cards. The slot is now perpendicular to the motherboard instead of parallel which means that other sizes, other than mini PCI cards, can fit in the slot without physical barriers. I, at first, thought this meant that I could use a regular wifi PCI express card in the slot instead of a half-height. However, the slot requires peripherals that use a PCI card that is more narrow. I tried to fit in the TP-Link 4800 to no avail, unfortunately. This means that I will have to buy another compatible half height PCI card for wireless to work on Mac OSX. Nevertheless, the new orientation of the PCI slot opens up more possibilities. 3) The big plus when it comes to buying itx motherboards is the inclusion of wifi cards. Many people are wary about them because there have been reports that these are not very reliable. I can tell you though that the wifi on mine works perfectly. The signal is strong enough to pull in 2mb/s when downloading games from Origin. I have never had a break in signal either. You can also use after-market antennas.
CONS: 1) Where is the option for load line calibration in the BIOS?Read more ›

When the video card on my 2011 MBP started to die, I was pretty upset at Apple for doing nothing about it, and there are a TON of people suffering from it - so I decided to build a Hackintosh with some real power.
I've gotten this board working great as a Hackintosh (search tonymacx86 forums for "Mini Beast"). The only thing that doesn't work is WiFi, but I use GigE anyway, so that doesn't matter to me. I needed to install the Intel 2.4.14 Ethernet drivers to get stable network transfers (huge, multi-gig transfers) to my NAS. Also got iMessage working by deleting GenericUSBXHCI.kext and setting Intel ethernet to 'en0'.
6 SATA ports is amazing on a mini-ITX. At first, I wanted my four WD Reds in this Fractal Node 304 case along with my Hackintosh, so it could be an always-on machine, running Plex Media Server, et al. However, I decided that due to spacial constraints, and the fact that I shouldn't be leaving a 4770k on all day, I put my RAID5 array into a separate enclosure. I get transfer speeds of 90-110MB/s to that NAS, over hard wired connection.
I love the dearth of ports on this thing, and it's really well built. Like other reviewers, I also had spacing issues on the Z87N board - it wouldn't fit a Noctua U12S. This board fixed the spacing problems, and I can successfully fit the U12S with two fans on it. Next up, I need to overclock!

I read some of some wifi issues, but it was nonsense. The wifi is excellent with this board. I did update to BIOS version F4 immediately (F2 was pre-installed) so maybe that made a difference. In any case, this board is excellent. Build quality is fantastic and it works wonderfully. It has no internal speaker which I found odd, but not a big deal. The latest Z97 chipset in a miniITX at this price is the best deal you can get right now.

I was surprised on the overall quality. I used this board to build a cube gaming machine and could not be happier with the results. Anyone planning on building your own computer remember to go to Gigabytes website and research the type of memory this board takes, as well as CPU. Also you may need to time the memory, which I had to do, it is easy just prepare yourself for this.

Bought this board from a local retailer for my new hackintosh build. It's a good quality board with all the features that you might need and can overclock unlocked cpus. The layout is also good. My only wish was that the front hd audio port would have been nice if it was closer to the sata ports. Same goes for the 4 pin port. If you want to build a new mini itx pc, consider this board. Spend the extra cash for H97 or Z97 instead of the previous series 8 chipset. The new series 9 chipset will support the other new Haswell chips as well as the upcoming Broadwell chips.

I bought this for a build for my little brother, and I wish I bought this for my own computer instead!
Everything you need comes on this board, including wifi+bluetooth. Boot up is fast and snappy. I wish there were more fan headers though. There's really only room for the CPU cooler on this board. But that doesn't really bother me, I used the molex connectors that came with the fans to power those.
I had absolutely no problems putting things together, installing drivers, etc. Everything went well and getting the system up and running didn't take much time at all! Like I said before, I love this product and I wish I bought this for myself!
