GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Cons:Labels aren't very clear, neither is the manual.Doesn't provide any place to plug in USB3.0 front panels.Some some reason, defaulted to using HDMI on boot up instead of VGA when using a ex gfx card.
Pros:Cheap PriceEnough for a gamer Comment:
Overall a very nice board for its price.If you have tried to bootup, and still a black screen, make sure you're using the gfx card you attached to it. |

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Cons:No real estate on board
Pros:Good budget to mid-range board Comment:
Firstly, this board is great if you are a low-budge or mid-range type user who wants to use this for gaming. I accidentally ordered this but wanted to give it a try. So far no complaints about this board. It works and performs well and gives you good value for your gaming and the money invested in it.One flaw about this board is that it has no real estate room whatsoever. After you fit a gigantic heatsink in, you start running out of space real soon. I could only fit two RAM sticks on here, which was okay since I was planning on 2 x 4GB anyways. But, anyone who wants to go with more - you are going to have a hard time if you have an aftermarket heatsink.Secondly, you will not have room for another vid card guaranteed if you are going to go with GTX 560 series and up. The cards are huge and this puny board does not do much justice if you are planning on going with SLI, since I wasn't going to go overboard again like I did with the RAM - I came out just fine. But you have been warned :) |

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Cons:None so far.
Pros:Easy connections, everything seemed to be well laid out. Performance with Sandy bridge chip is great. Comment:
I purchased this for a gaming rig. I decided to go for the SLI capability just in case, but did not want to pay a huge amount for stuff I might not use. This mobo was in right price range for performance with future-proof features. There might not be many 3.0 USB connections, but there's enough for the majority of users. All in all I have nothing bad to say about it, running great. |

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Cons:Not sure if just me or what but I can't seem to fit a NIC (network card) in there; they don't seem to have the appropriate slots for them.
Pros:- 3 PCIE16 ports, which is great for adding in additional video cards later if you want to- Z68 chipset, which is awesome (supports DDR3 1600+ and a bucnh of other stuff)- Good price for an LGA1155 board with the features it has Comment:
Pretty much what I said above, a very good board (for a first build?) with nice features. Currently have a 6950 2GB with an i5-2500k and 12GB DDR3-1600 RAM hooked up to this sucker. Runs amazingly. |

GIGABYTE GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
Cons:-Poor audio quality-Ram is too near of CPU for big cooler
Pros:-Cheap-Z68 chipset-Onboard USB3-Easy Overclock Comment:
Great motherboard for the price. One of the cheaper when I bought it. I don't regret my choice. It is a really good one. No issue for over a month. The ram slots are really near the CPU and this may cause problem for big cooler, but it'sthe case for most of the motherboard especially the mATX ones. |
Overall, good quality board with many functions. For those that want to use ivy bridge, you will need to flash the board with an older chipset (ie Sandybridge). I assumed the board came with the latest bios version but as soon as i powered on my computer, it power cycled. Found out that the bios version of the motherboard did not support ivy bridge. Had to flash the latest bios F10 with my i5-2500k.Other then that, well worth the money!
