GIGABYTE GA-Z270X-UD3 LGA1151 Intel Z270 2-Way SLI ATX DDR4 Motherboard

it's very good

I bought this MoBo after the Asrock MoBo I bought arrived dead from Newegg. I'm glad it did though, because this is a great MoBo. It came with a lot more outputs for peripherals than the Asrock did for the same price, and all of the USB slots are 3.0, while the Asrock had only 3. It also has a USB C slot. It looks great and the build quality seems much better then the Asrock.Probably the thing I appreciated the most for this MoBo was that it was much easier to plug in all the components, compared to the Asrock. I had no issues or instances where I could no fit a component because it was physically blocked by another component. For instance, with the Asrock, one of the PCIE slots did not line up at all with the PCIE expansion slots for my case, so I had to use the PCIE slot that I didn't want to use. This slot was too close to the CPU heat sink and was blocked by it, so I had to undue the heat sink and turn it around into a position I wasn't fond of. Even plugging in fans and power cables into the MoBo was a huge pain in the ass.This MoBo was infinitely easier. The PCIE slot lunged up perfectly with my case and has sufficient room to work in, even with my huge hands. And from what I've read, gigabyte has excellent customer support, should you need it.For what it's worth, I ended up going with this MoBo over asking for a replacement for the Asrock after reading that gigabyte is known for giving you more for what you pay. For instance as a mentioned before, many more USB ports and all of them are 3.0.

It has been about a month now since I finished my new build and so far i can say this is a perfect board. I was gifted this so my personal opinion wont be as biased towards the price but the board itself. I loaded this thing up with a i5-6600k water cooled with a H110GT, 16gbs of tridentz pc 3200 ram, a 970 gtx, a m.2 ssd stick(amazing), all being powered by a tx 750watt PSU inside of a NZXT switch 810 (i purchased the case a year ago incase i couldnt upgrade right away). everything external plugged in with no issues, so many ports ! keyboard, mouse, external hdd, and my lil usb driver for my desktop mic and headphones, all work perfectly fine at the fullest level. we're going from hdmi on the 970 to a 7.2 channel 4k av receiver with some nice kickin tweeters and big boomin sub, goes right into my monitor with no issue and i can easily switch back and forth between monitor and TV whether if im watching movies or a show or playng a game or listening to music ! let me tell you this board is small but has a big personality. and it shows, the little heart of my operation. everything was easily attachable and booted up just fine. never before have I had such a powerful build, anything I try to do from browsing the web with multiple windows and processes running, to playing a game at max settings, is done with no issue and I have yet to do any overclocking. plenty of room left to add another GFX card in the future and easily cleanable. if your hesitant but your ready to get something to last let me be the one to say go for it.

I have the GA-Z270XP-SLI version.PRO:-Lots of SATA ports-2 PCI-E x16 slots, 1 PCI-E x4 slot-7 USB 3.0 A-type, 1 USB 3.0 C-type-Easy overclocking-Actual UEFI BIOS (more on this in CON)-Does what it says it does, no actual issues with mine so farCON:-Lots of updates necessary for this to run properly. I've never had to install so many updates one after another in order to use a product I purchased. It took me over 2 hours to get this up to date.-UEFI BIOS UI and navigation. You can use the mouse to navigate, but it's so incredibly stiff it may as well not be an option. My 7-year old ASUS mobo has a better UEFI BIOS than this.-RAM speed is set to 2133MHz by default. You MUST enable the XMP profile in the BIOS to allow your RAM to operate at its designated speed.-Unsure if this will affect others, but if you don't set the CPU Voltage mode to the TURBO profile, it will sometimes lower the voltage to the CPU too quickly, causing a blue-screen crash with the error "CLOCK_WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT". This has only ever happened to me upon booting the computer and shortly after logging into Windows. After setting the profile to TURBO it has not shown this error since.

Pros: The board was easy to set up and get running. It has 16 gigs of DDR4 3000 which shows up and works fine at rated speed. Using an Intel Core i3 6320 sixth generation processor. Running an Nvidia 1060 GTX. Best of all running a Samsung 950 Pro M2 type SSD mounted right on the MB itself. All work great together. I use this PC mostly for streaming and internet surfing. Wife uses it for homeschooling and research. I had already upgraded the previous 5 year old PC with a Samsung Evo 850 Pro and the Nvidia GTX 960 which made it much quicker. After building this unit it really is hard to tell I gained anything. Testing confirms it is much quicker though.Update: I had given this board two stars a while back. I thought it had died. I forgot about this review. Turns out the Intel i3 6320 was partially dead. The video part was bad. It tested good with intel's software processor test. After RMA to intel I got a quick replacement. This board is back working great.

llego en tiempo y estado perfectofunciona sin problemas, altamente recomendado

Tiene una UEFI muy buena, se puede alterar cada voltaje de la CPU y de las DIMMs, tiene modos integrados de Overclock facil, para poder darle un overclock instantaneo a un i5-7600k or i7-7700k. Se puede hasta cambiar la imagen de boot con el software de Gigabyte.

Todo llego bien en tiempo y forma y es un muy bien por el proovedor muy recomendable , es un muy buen producto y a el mejor precio del mercado aqui mexico solo que si estas pensando en poner un procesador de 8va generacion aunque tengan el mismo soket no es compatible ocupas un Z300 , solo es para 6ta y 7ma gen .

En relación precio calidad es una muy buena mobo, mi única queja es que de entrada le metía mas voltaje del necesario al procesador de manera automática, tuve que bajar la ultima versión del BIOS que contiene nuevos valores para corregir este problema.

Awesome as described
