After one month of ownership of this Gigabyte motherboard, I would highly recommend this motherboard to anyone on a budget, yet wanting the latest features of the Haswell chipset. I plugged a Haswell Core i7-4770K cpu into my motherboard along with 32GB of Gskill 1866Mhz DDR3 Ares RAM and everything worked perfectly from the start. The 10 SATA 3.0 ports are a very convenient feature that I took advantage of in my large case. I plan on adding additional Solid state drives for more data storage. Overclocking was as easy as setting the Clock speed in the bios, I was able to oc my 4770k from stock to 4.4Ghz with nothing but a cpu heatsink and fan. Windows 7 Experience index with my system configuration rated 7.8, 7.9, 6.8, 6.8, 7.9 with a Samsung SSD attached as the primary HD. I would say as a long time Gigabyte MB user, that this MB is highly stable with the F7 bios even with the CPU oc'ed to 4.4Ghz. The PCIe 3.0 slots are perfect for the latest PCIe Graphics cards, if you plan on upgrading later towards achieving better video performance. Overall, I did not have any problems whatsoever with this MB after more than 1 month of oc'ed use while Bitcoin mining 24x7.Read full review
But it would be as I bought the same board the first time. This was a replacement board but I wanted the same configuration as there are 10 sata ports. My only issue is the first board just flat out would not boot. I suspect there developed a short. But the replacement board actually arrived 4 days sooner than expected and installed and continues to operate perfectly.

i paired this with a 4790K cpu, 16 Gigs of ram, 8 pcs sata drives (hdd, 7200 rpm) it is impressive how fast responding the system is and how the controllers on the board let me multi-task without complications. this board will serve anyone well
