Most
4x USB 3.0 (rear 2 + 2 jack on the front panel) and 6x USB 2.0 (4 + rear jack 2 front).
Home theater: the integrated sound card supports 7.1 very well without background noise to 192kHz 24bit.
The BIOS is accessible to the mouse, the OS starts in seconds, and it is very comprehensive (Revision F2).
As a German car, standard equipment is very rich (BTooth 4.0, dual RJ45, WiFi 300Mb / s).
When you add all board functions, we find that its price is downright attractive.
As always with CM Gigabyte (my fifth), quality, reliability and durability are at the rendezvous.
Bonus features: Dual UEFI BIOS, USB Charge, Intel WiDi (if Ivy Bridge processor) 2 WiFi antennas, etc.
Comes with a bunch of screws and various accessories.
The least
Only 4x SATA connectors (2 6Gb / s and 2 3Gb / s), but at this price ...
Only 2x DIMM 1.5V for DDR3 memory strips, but given the size ...
A second connector "System Fan" would have been welcome, but at this price ...
The DIMM slots are a little too close to the socket 1155 prohibiting coolers with too broad basis.
The usual softwares in Gigabytes, like habits, to avoid, and everything works fine without them.
Conclusion: It has everything a large, almost, with a very reasonable price. Having such a wide range of features on a 17cm barely card side, is actually an achievement. The covering plate provided connectors is rather pretty and very well made. This motherboard, despite some limitations (seen in "Less"), allows the development of very different configs, more sober crazier with exemplary stability.
My config: Intel Core i7-2600 Proce (@ 3.7GHz in Turbo), CG nVidia Quadro 2000 (PCI Express 2.0 x16), 2x 4GB RAM Corsair XMS3, 1x SanDisk SSD 256GB (2 "1/2), 2x Hard Drives 2TB (3 "1/2), 1x Blu-Ray burner LG (5" 1/4), alim. Corsair TX 850W 80 + Br, all in a mITX Elite 120 Advanced case (RC-120A-KKN1) of from Cooler Master.
