Bought this to pair with a 3770 & 16gb of G.Skill ram, completely impressed with how stable it is out of the box. I have done absolutely 0 tweaking aside from boot options and enabling the XMP profile for the RAM and the system just hums along without issue.
W7 (64) doesn't want to install on the mSATA, saying the drive or SATA connection (I forget the message) doesn't support WIndows installation and to consult the manufacturer. Googled for hours but cannot find anything re: UD5H and using its mSATA as a boot drive. Yes I realize it will run at SATA2 speeds, but I want to give it a try anyway. Before installing OS on something else and checking if this mSATA drive is borked (the bios sees it fine), has anyone here been able to install W7 on an mSATA on the UD5H? Is there a setting in the bios I need to change to allow OS install on the mSATA? There is nothing in the UD5H manual.
I've had no problem whatsoever overclocking with this motherboard. Took a few tries to get the voltage just right, but it's been stable ever since. I actually enjoy using the front audio ports on my case now. I couldn't stand to use these on my old motherboard due to excessive buzzing.
after a month of use ram slot 3 went bad, computer will freeze if ram is in that slot. i have sent the motherboard 3 times and they keep resend it back with out being fix.. 2 local computer shops said that my ram is ok and that slot 3 is defective.. the computer will no boot or blue screen of death. its now 5 months later and still no computer, I am forced to buy a new motherboard.

Great board to work with. Has just about any connection you could want, with an ivy bridge CPU it'll handle 3 way crossfire or SLI. Has an mSATA port so you can install a boot drive SSD. The heatsinks around the board will help keep the board cool when it's OC'd as long as you have a well ventilated case.
This is a great motherboard overall. At such a great price you get a solid motherboard that supplies the necessities to get your rig up and running for normal operations, and overclocking for the casual overclocker.
This was my first gigabyte board and sadly, it will probably be my last. I enjoy the feature of the board, however i have been unsuccessful in fixing the issues I'm having. originally my computer would freezing during random times, however this seemed to be fixed once i finally update d my bios to the latest version (f8). however I'm unable to overclock even the slightest without my computer freezing, I've searched through many threads (of other people experiencing similar issues of freezing) and have yet to solve the issue. I've even contacted Gigabyte and they were of no use at all.
I bought this with an Intel i5 3570K and this would be my second Gigabyte motherboard. It is very well built and the included accessories are of high quality. Works well with overclocking and stable as a rock.
