    Gaming Mobo - want to OC and possible SLI (LGA 1155/ Z77)

    If you want Quiet why not go with liquid cool?? I saw one on sale this morning in a pre-Black Friday ad for $70. Gigabyte's sniper 3 has been out for a while, no? I know they had a new board come out UP4 or UP5 or something Z77X as well it has thunderbolt and I think those can all do SLI easily.

    Help finding a Z77 Motherboard

    Hi Trajan45, Have you had the chance to look over the GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UP5 TH?? It has 3 SATAIII's and 2 of them can support RAID 0/1/5/10 with the 3rd supporting RAID 0/1. This satisfies your first requirement. OC'ing are you planning on using Air cooling or liquid cooling? The board...

    Hhmmm =/ $100? I think is hard for a decent Board thats intel based unless you want to go another chipset, but I personally prefer Z Chipset because I like the cache feature. The new digital powerphase design helps in that it reduces heat on the VRM's so overall if you were using a...

    MB for i5-3570K with Virtu ?

    Hi Mir96TA, GIGABYTE has a local RMA dept in US as well hmm I'm not quite sure where exactly you are located but hopefully it is close to you. In regards to the board itself, do you have an approx budget? If you are willing to shell out $200 I would go with the UP4 because of the new...

    Choosing the right motherboard?

    Hi DrZeto, Regarding the Mobo, may I recommend either the GA-Z77X-UD3H (Currently $15 more due to rebate on D3H) or the GA-Z77X-UP4 TH ($35 more). The reason I say this is because the UD3H has a little bit more features: DisplayPort Quick Buttons (power button, reset button, clear CMOS...

    Asus P8H77-V LE vs Gigabyte H77M-D3H

    Hi Goi, I'd recommend if you are going with a B series chipset possibly something with HDMI will be of more use to you as you can take the computer and hook it up to a tv or larger screen. In regards to GIGABYTE boards that use the B series chipset this would isolate it to the following two...
