  Good... while it workedI bought this board to allow some future expansion (also bought an i3 but had the intention to upgrade to an i5k and overclock in due course).
  
  It worked well: decent feature set (although no VGA out, but I knew that) and was incredible value compared to other Z68 mobos out there.
  
  Then, precisely 4 days after activating Windows 7 it died. I wasn't overclocking, I wasn't changing hardware. I was changing some innocuous BIOS settings (boot order) and on restarting it got caught in the infamous Gigabyte boot loop.
  
  After spending a fair bit of time on Google it seems the Gigabyte Z68 cards are somewhat notorious for this problem but there isn't a reliable fix. To be fair, most commonly the problem seems to be caused by OCing so maybe mine was just bad luck.
  
  Given the choice again I'd go for a slightly more expensive alternative make...8 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Great Value for MoneyAm very pleased with this board, was a bit concerned was going to be iffy due to the low price (I picked this up for £80) but is a fully featured that does everything I require for a great price.
  
  Is well laid out and had no problems installing, as with any board you may need to be careful of the type of cooler you install as I used a Thermaltake Frio and with the heatsink and fan being quite large meant it is very close to the DIMM slots, still managed to fit my Corsair Vengeance RAM but not much clearance due to the large heatsinks on the RAM but not really the fault of the board.
  
  CPU clipped in fine, the locking arm felt a little stiff and I always have a mini panic attack when installing but no problems and has being running great for the past couple of weeks.
  
  The onaboard sound is perfectly adequate too, I do have an Asus Xonar I keeping meaning to fit back in but haven't bothered yet as haven't personally noticed any difference.
  
  Overall a Highly recommended board.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Great Budget BoardVery happy with this entry level Z68 board. Coupled with a 2500k processor it is delivering everything I could have expected in terms of performance and value for money.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Punches above its weight!I was very reluctant about getting this board due to it's very low price, with computers I'm a firm "you get what you pay for" kinda guy.
  
  I feel a bit stupid now because this board is absolutely fantastic. Comes with a full suite of utilities to auto overclock your system if you want, desktop based bios and all the other goodies you expect from a top board.
  
  If you're unsure about this mobo then I recommend you read some reviews out there as I'm yet to read a bad word about it.
  
  Got this with a SSD and boot times are around 30 seconds, took 6 minutes to install windows.
  
  Highly recommended.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Knocking on the doors of much more expenLooks great, good build quality (though the top HS is a bit loose as it's only held on with springs, but it works fine, no issue there.7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Seems like a good oneI was really scared buying ths mobo because of the low price with respect to other z68 boards. But so far it seems really good. be warned it is a little smaller than a standard atx motherboard. It only needed 6 of the standard 9 screw holes to attach it to my case. but apparently that's fine and it runs very well7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes

  Bargain for an overclockerPROS:
  
  Has a multitude of bios settings for overclocking, i got a easy 4.6ghz on this mobo from my 2500k i5.
  
  CONS: Having to use voltage offset and relying on bios to auto set the vcore is annoying since the user can't manually set the v core.
  
  Conclusion: Wait for REV. 2.0 it has manual v core - THEN BUY IT!!7 User found this Review usefullhelpful Review? Yes
