Song @ end?

[wmw0702]

does anyone still actually use the ps/2 connector?

[bobiana289]

Is gigabyte the only company smart enough to make a Z series mobo with ONLY an HDMI connector on the i/o as to not take up 8 usb ports worth of space?

[clintdiamante99]

Great review! : )

[scooter99tube]

@clintdiamante99 Thanks!

Plan on using this mobo in a black/white themed 600t SE build

[Only720Music]

I dislike this mobo cos of the PCI 16 and PCI 8 config. The fact that the PCI16 shares the bus with the PCI8, lowering it to PCI 16... :'(

[RHossall]

On newegg there are some reviews of power cycles ect, is that true? or is yours working perfectly fine? thanks!!

[scooter99tube]

@RHossall So far it is working fine (I am using the latest beta bios - F5B I think)

[RHossall]

@scooter99tube Ok thanks man, I do seem to think though that most motherboards are rated 4 stars on newegg, i think thats mainly because alot of people only post a review if something goes bad, through googling and finding other, very detailed reviews, it seems a pretty nice board :)

[xzHDzx]

do this support AMD?

[TwoPlusFourIsSe7en]

do you know if this board is supported by hackintoshes?? 

[scooter99tube]

@TwoPlusFourIsSe7en I'm not sure - I haven't tried it - Have you tried GA-Z68XP-UD4 + hackintosh in google? - Seems to be a few results there....

[JoeWithers100]

@TwoPlusFourIsSe7en Yes it is, there's a confirmed DSDT if you use Tonymacx86's method

[muffemod]

You're correct the Z68X-UD4-B3 is the same exact board without the 1 x HDMI port, supporting a maximum resolution of 1920x1200.

[scooter99tube]

@muffemod Yeah - That's what I thought - this board (the Z68XP) was for sale this week for $25 off of the reg price so that would probably negate any saving on the board without HDMI anyhow - more ports never hurts for future uses (ie HTPC use without a discrete video card).

[muffemod]

@scooter99tube Torn between the two.  I can scoop them both up for good deals.
