I decided to upgrade my motherboard to this one. My only complaint would be that it can only handle four system fans. So far I was able to Over Clock my i7 2600k with this board to 4.3ghz and running stable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good mother board!

A lot of flexibility with what you need, and what you want to plug in. I liked that it has a HDMI output and shared graphics, a lot of expansion ports, and the board was thicker (heavy duty). Put it in a good case with cooling air flow and it has preformed flawlessly for over the last year.
Running Windows 7 Pro (EOM), with 16 gig memory (4x4), and 2- 750 gig mirrored WD drives, with an Intel I5-2500 possessor (stock fan).
I built mine a year and a half ago, and then purchased the same board to build one for my daughter this past spring (with an I-7 possessor) and both are flawless!
I'm sure there are greater boards out there now as technology speeds ahead, but this is a solid board to build from or replace one with! 5 Stars!

4.0 out of 5 stars Small issue with Hard Disks, but generally good MB
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2012

I bought this as a quick replacement to a board that I siplled coolant on. As it turned out I was able to clean the coolant off with an electronics spray cleaner from Radio Shack of all places, but I digress...

I have tried many brands of Motherboards over the years, Abit, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, and even ASRock. The last 4 or 5 years I've bought Gigabyte. The quality and stability of the boards has been pretty good. This particular board is not spectacularly high end or anything, but it performs well. For the components I put in, it fills the bill. I add an Audigy sound card, nVidia GPU, and a Rocket Raid controller. And the Rocket Raid controller is part of why I had any issues with this board. One of the built-in controllers has some hybrid drive and raid capability I was interested in using as my startup volume. Unfortuantely due to some odd BIOS limitation and the controller implementations on the motherboard, I could not utilize the funtionality. In other words, the contoller on the motherboard with the capabilities that I was interested in was useless because I had another controller and the BIOS couldn't handle the situation.

Over all this was a minor complaint as the drives as I ended up configuring them perfrom pretty well anyway, I was just interested in the hybrid SSD+standard drive possibilities. What I ended up doing was disabling that particular controller on the MB and used the other controller built in to the MB with a pair of SSDs.

Side Note: The MB comes with two HD controllers (intel and Marvell), both supporting some RAID capabilities and one supporting the hybrid technology (intel). Utilization of both to their full capabilities is not possible, apparently due to a combination of the way the controllers were implemented into the board and BIOS. It is like you have to use Marvell as a simple controller if you want to use the hybrid feature on the intel controller. In addition, if you attempt to put a third controller into the mix, like my Rocket Raid controller, then the whole configuration goes south.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not ready for Ivy Bridge processors
Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2012
Verified Purchase
I generally don't give bad reviews to products when my particular one doesn't work at all, because of the likelihood that I just received a bad unit. I usually wait until I try out the replacement to review how well it performs... HOWEVER... This motherboard cost me a great deal of time, carefully assembling the computer (in a very tight home theater case) and making sure everything was as it should be before powering it up and... nothing. I was a victim of the dreaded boot loop. As others have stated, Google "Gigabyte Z68 Boot Loop" and you will find LOTS of complaints about this. The machine power-cycles, pauses for a minute (ignoring keystrokes) and then power-cycles again. Forever. I called Gigabyte customer support, and their helpful suggestion was to put a Sandy Bridge processor in it and update the BIOS to see if it would then work with my Ivy Bridge processor. WTF? Sorry, I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars on the chance that an older processor may fix the problem so that I can run my newly bought i7 3770K. I returned the board to Amazon, and ordered an Asus P8Z77-V LE motherboard instead (and may I add that it is AWESOME). When it came in I installed the EXACT SAME components that had failed to boot in the Gigabyte motherboard and POOF! The Asus booted instantly. I'm sorry, but if this many people are having the exact same problem, it sounds like an engineering issue, and your results will likely be hit-or-miss. I've built many Gigabyte-based machines in the past that have served me well, and I hope that they can manage to solve their problems with these new chipsets, but for now I would advise you to look elsewhere.

2.0 out of 5 stars Plenty of Issues
Reviewed in the United States on July 10, 2012

I'm never one to complain about parts on the internet, I believe that all products have some duds and people shouldn't go around giving perfectly good products 1 star because they had a fixable issue with it. However, the product is different.

I absolutely hate it, it's full of problems. The biggest is the "boot-loop" issue people have been talking about. On a cold boot, it takes about 6-8 tries to finally boot into the operating system. It'll start, all my fans come on, and my lights come on, then dies, a few seconds later it tries again. There's no point in having a SSD when it still takes around 3-4 minutes to finally begin to boot up. It's un-fixable, Gigabyte has done nothing about it.

Secondly, I have incredible issues trying to wake from sleep. The computer "comes on." But there's no display or anything. Some believe it has to do with the on-board graphics, I'm not sure. To this day I'm still trying to figure out how to get it to properly wake, it'll work sometimes, and not others I don't know. I've tried numerous BIOS and Windows setting for it to wake correctly and have come up empty each time.

Do not buy this board, even if for whatever reason you don't have problems with it, you're still funding a broken product.

Is a lovely motherboard despite as far as I understand is getting old, as all computer related stuff do.
Still using it for a while on my hackintosh.
In more that a year use I had to replace one because my PCI slot stopped working.
Now is a bit difficult to find if you need a replacement, but if you need it don't hesitate to get it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Geht mit Win7, aber auch MacOS
Reviewed in Germany on July 11, 2014
Verified Purchase
Ich habe mit diesem Board zum allerersten Mal überhaupt einen PC gebaut und praktisch keinerlei Erfahrung, außer mal Macintosh-Laptops mit größerer Festplatte zu bestücken. Zunächst war also alles neu für mich, Beschreibung war OK, hätte für Anfänger allerdings ausführlicher sein können, aber die meisten werden so ein Board nicht als Anfänger kaufen. Doch irgendwie lief das Mainboard zunächst schon gut in ein, zwei (ur-)alten PC-Gehäusen, dann sogar als "Mac" bzw. sog. Hackintosh, wobei man von Anfang an natürlich sehr auf die Kompatibilität aller Komponenten achten muss. Seit 1,5 Jahren funktioniert das Board als Dual-Boot (Win7/MacOS X) hervorragend, allerdings musste ich kürzlich die Knopfzellenbatterie einmal austauschen.
Natürlich ist es toll, wenn man auch eine SSD für eines der Betriebssysteme nutzt (mittlerweile nutze ich mehr Win7, aber zuvor ging es auch toll von MacOS und schneller SSD). Da ich keinen Vergleich zu anderen Mainboards habe, aber begeistert bin von der prinzipiellen Kompatibilität für Macintosh/Hackintosh und auch die vielen Anschlüsse einschl. Audio zu schätzen weiß, gibt es derzeit für mich kein besseres Board. Ich habe über Amazon gekauft, aber es war schon verdammt günstig, da es ein Kundenrückläufer war, aber es sah so aus, als sei es nie ausgepackt worden - vielleicht hat sich ja jemand anderes an der spartanischen Gebrauchsanweisung überfordert gefühlt, was mir ja auch fast passiert wäre. Also ein Riesenschnäppchen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Precio brutal y maxima calidad
Reviewed in Spain on February 16, 2013

La compré por 77 € cuando estaba a precio de saldo y unos dias despues se pone a 150 €. Creo que tuve bastante suerte en la ejecución de la compra porque llevaba casi un mes siguiendo la evolución del precio y temia "perderla". En cuanto al producto, es de una generación anterior, pero lo que importa es la calidad no la antiguedad. Doble onza de cobre en el PCB, 62 condensadores solidos japoneses, un disipador al lado del socket, gran cantidad de conectores traseros, el color negro que Gigabyte solo utiliza en sus placas "buenas", etc, superan claramente a otras placas del 2012 de cualquier marca e igual precio. (el precio de saldo, claro). En otras tiendas cuesta mas de 130 €.
