Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 Motherboard Unboxing and First Look

Check my blog for more details: http://anyruginthehouse.com

If you checked out my video about the Silverstone FT02 case you know that I am building myself a new system in that case. This Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4 board was purchased to go into that case along with some new and some re-used parts from my current P67 build.

I plan on using the Intel core I5 2500k processor, 16GB of G.Skill DDR3 ram (4x4gb), a 120GB OCZ vertex drive (that has treated me well so far) and an Asus Nvidia GTX 570 with this board. You can expect some videos in the near future with more details on that build, it's components, and probably another time lapse video of the system build.

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

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

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....

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?
