Gigabyte z68x UD4- AVOID

Guys bit of a heads up if you are buying this board. Don't it's quite possibly the worst board I have ever owned how they can let this out of the factory I don't know.

Post on GB forums here but there are complaints all over the web:

Pick up an asrock or asus if you go z68 I wish I did.

Z68X here and also in another system that I have, and both are working fine.

I can't say I've see complaints all of the web as you have said. Nothing more than the other manufacturers.

So it's not a good idea to generalise that all Z68X UD-4 Gigabyte boards are to be avoided.

Seems to be a big thread on it here: http://www.overclock.net/intel-motherboards/1034724-gigabyte-p67-z68-boot-cycling-problem.html

Gigabyte have released Bios F7 a couple of days ago.

It wont put me off either, most likely going for the Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4.

I've been reading that thread myself. Handful of people posting in there, so I wouldn't call that complaints all over the net.

One of my Gigabyte Z68X boards was dead on arrival, sent it back and got a replacement and all is working fine.
