  1. Great boards, right up their with ASUS IMHO

  2. Like the colour scheme, very menacing !

    I think ill stick with intel, but im interested in bulldozer, will be interesting to see if they can take on Intel at £200 sector.

  3. Phew, I hate seeing a review when I bought something a few days beforehand. thankfully im reassuring. ill post my findings when I get the system built.

    (1090t, but planning to bulldozer when available)

  4. I disagree with previous comment. I think gigabyte are better motherboards than ASUS. I have always found them more stable.

  5. good motherboard, I plan to buy this when bulldozer is out.
