Outastanding board

Newegg
4 April 2013
  • Summary: The biggest issue I ran in to with this board is that the BIOS version I had had a problem with network speeds. I was limited to speeds of 1/MBps at MAX.
  • Pros: X79, boatload of USB pots, nearly every feature you could want. USB3.0, eSATA, SATAIII. This board is a solid board. After updating the bios, I've had 0 issues with th...
  • Cons: Only 4 DIMM slots, any X79 board should come with more slots. Even though 32GB of RAM is more than enough for 99.9% of users, it still feels limiting for such a great ...

  • Cons: Cannot power DDR1 Memory slot..

Sweet Board, Bad BIOS!

Newegg
8 March 2012
  • Pros: Had my company purchase one of these through Newegg about a month ago along with an i7-3960X for a test rig. One of the best benefits of the X79/LGA2011 series is that...
  • Cons: BIOS recall and CPU support concerns. From what I can tell online, this board, and a couple other Gigabyte X79 boards, has/had a BIOS recall issue. When you look at th...

Fire and BIOS upgrade

Newegg
7 March 2012
