Conclusion and final thoughts
The board was very impressive,  and I must say it did live up to the expectations I have for a Gigabyte board.  Not only did it live up to those but it smashed through them, and set a new record for me as for the ease of overclock and ease of usability.
Aside from the issue with tri SLI needing 8 expansion slots, the board is amazing and very powerful.  Anyone looking to build a great gaming rig that also has all of the power features to allow for lower heat dissipation but also a much nicer power bill when doing standard desktop tasks,  this would be an excellent choice for you.
Pros:
- Excellent bios.
- Great chipset cooling
- Lots of onboard options
- Excellent board layout
Cons:
- Needs 8 expansion slots in case to run Tri SLI
- occasional strange post cycle on cold boot on a 24/7 stable overclock.
