This is a really nice motherboard for the form factor and the price. It supports lots of RAM and has 6 SATA ports. Only one is SATA 3, which is the reason there is a star missing. Some have said it is missing the overclocking features, but I was able to overclock my board. The IO on the back, while old, is sufficient. It also has a header for a TPM module, which may come in handy.

Missing several features (like overclock for my K proc), but it gets the job done. The SATA ports being under the GPU is a pain, and I need to paint the I/O plate (chrome just clashes). But, the dual bios saved me from disaster, so that's a bonus I'd hoped to never use :)

Bare bones motherboard from 2013.

Solid mobo, I haven't had any problems with it. Increased my opinion of Gigabyte for sure!
