I bought this board because I have used Gigabyte in the past, which has proven to be a reliable MB. Very easy to setup. from Amazon.com Pros: Excellent layout, rock-solid stability, generous overclocking options. Cons: Price of X58 chipset Other Thoughts: I am completely satisfied with this Gigabyte motherboard. from Newegg.com Pros: Looks nice Cons: Many people are complaining of a noise comming from the motherboard while using this mobo. I too have had this and it's too late for me to return it to newegg. So if your stuck with the board the way I got rid of the sound was by modifying the CPU voltage, changing it from "AUTO" which set it at 1.2555 to manual and changed it to 1.2000 Other Thoughts: I haven't contacted Gigabyte but I thought I would post my solution and perhaps put it out there that there is a problem with board. With the price on this thing I didn't expect for it to be noisy at default settings. from Newegg.com Pros: Stable board, plenty of connections, including cooling fans. I have two of these running Vista64 and i7 CPU's for video editing (and some gaming). No OC. from Newegg.com Pros: Tons of features; this board is very generous when it comes to features. Bios have all the options and tweaks any overclockers would dream of having.3 Way SLI, Crossfire, 8 SATA ports (6 Intel SB, 2 Gigabyte which can be used for eSATA, brackets also included), 3 1394 Firewire, Legacy IDE and Floppy, the list goes on... I had no problem getting it to post first time. from Newegg.com Pros: Great, generous features. Includes External SATA jack with cables including the power cable to plug into a standard internal HDD. Cons: Dead on Arrival (DOA). from Newegg.com You would think a test run would have prevented this... Other Thoughts: Currently, this is the best board out there for a decent price that can run three video cards. There is a new revision that is supposed to be coming out in August or Spetember (GA-EX58A-UD4P)... wait for it. from Newegg.com Pros: run very fast if you get it to run... Cons: I had to RMA 2 of these before a good one came in QA from GygaByte is not that good. from Newegg.com Pros: This board is very sophisticated with many features. It came with the latest BIOS 'F8' version installed. from Newegg.com Pros: Great LookEasy to work withPlenty of features to exploreGood AudioWorks with Windows 7RC Cons: Since setting up this new build which includes my older parts from my AMD rig I get a high pitch squeeky noise at boot up and and at the beginning of the logon in windows. I can't figure out what it is but it seems to come from the motherboard. from Newegg.com
