Does anyone have this board, doesnt seem to be many (if any from what i can find without a search function) people here that have this board.... 
......
Which is a shame, i was hoping for some personal comments on the board......
Loving the heatpipe cooling, though it has restricted the cooling slightly, ie. could not get a noctua... though i'm very happy with the Thermalright Ultra...
The 8 pin connector is badly positioned on this board, and the sata ports would be blocked if i was adding a 2nd vid card, i don't plan to though fortunately.
4 Extra USB headers is a nice bonus though.....
The memory slot location is not the best, though it is exceptable..... i can still get a memory stick in the first slot (just about), its very close to the cooler.
Respect must be given to gigabyte for making a great board though, received mine from OcUK yesterday and it's been 100% in testing and building.... (wired up on the desk at first), both with 4 pin connection, then with 8 pin connection. It's not failed a boot-up yet. Board came with the F4 bios.....
Here's my system as it stands now......
E6750 @2.9 (for now) Now at 3.2 (so far)
2gb Cellshock 6400
P35 DS4 (as mentioned above)
74gb Raptor - Windows
160gb Sata2 - Games & Apps
250gb Sata2 - Storage
500gb Sata2 - More storage (new drive)
DVDRW sata - (think this is failing though, keeps making chugging noises with clean disks- now wishing i got a new one when i ordered)
X1800GTO - I don't need any more then this, at least till Crysis is out, which has now been pushed to November at least...
