Gigabyte Z68AP-D3

[Citizen]

Hello,

Whats the opinion of this board, i notice there's no reviews and i'm a bit wary about buying it. I've always preferred gigabyte boards to any other and the £80 price range seems about right to me.

If anyone owns the board i'd appreciate some feedback.

Cheers guys

I have one I put in a recent build and it's been great. OC'd a 2500k to 4.4 by just bumping

the voltage up a couple of notches, leaving everything else on auto and the vengeance ram to XMP settings.

I'm sure it has a lot more leg room on the OC but i'm just running it with a single 5850 for now, so dont really require

anymore power.

It's a fairly small board, so was easier to fit in my old lian li case than the full atx one I pulled out.

It only does Xfire, no SLI and then will drop your cards down to x4 mode if you do, but does run one card at full x16, so

if your thinking of going dual card setup i'd pay a few more quid for the slightly better spec'd board.

It support's SRT and has an msata port on the board which I tried and works fairly well.

Onboard heatsyncs are a bit flimsy, but do the job.

£80 quid well spent IMHO.

Cheers, Matt.

Thanks Smudge

I don't plan to overclock the system ( i'm far to cautious a person)..or use SLi or Xfire, just a single ATI or nVidia card. But yes, it looks a very good board for the price.

Cheers
