Review : Excellent board, even without much OC'ing support
Superb board as always from Gigabyte. Its a LOT cheaper than the equivalent z77 board from ASUS, making it great value as well.

As pointed out in another review, OC options are limited. You can still easily get a i5 3570k to 4GHz, which is fine for my needs. The plus side to this though, is that it doesnt have a huge voltage regulator board tacked on the side, meaning that its a lot easier to work with inside a small case. The 3D BIOS is also very nice, if a bit unnecessary. The purists will still prefer the old snappy BIOS menus, but its a nice change.

For reference, my system is an i5 3570k, 670 FTW Sig2, in a bitfenix prodigy. My only complaint is the electronic buzz generated when the GPU is stressed, but I have yet to discern whether this is the GPU or the Motherboard. Either way its not an issue as anything demanding enough to cause the buzz will generate enough heat to force the system fans to kick in anyway.

All in all, an excellent board, at...
