Quad cores have nothing on this.

Yes I'm aware that this is a dual core but I've done my research and this Wolfdale core kicks the snot out of similiar priced quad cores. Runs cool and efficient, as far as performance to cost ratio, buy this CPU.

Ok Now that that is out of the way, onto the board.  First the way the headers are placed in relation to the slots is aweful.  They advertise 4 way SLI or Crossfire, but if your running that you cannot use any of them.  This could be a major issue as the power supply header is there as well.  The next major issue I had with the board is the USB 3.0 Header, there is only one on the board.  If you have multiple 3.0 slots to use, you can only plug in one, and this is also at the bottom of the board.  I found the board to be very tight especially where the CPU is in relation to everything.  It was almot impossible to use the corsair H100 cooler, because the CPU is located high on the board( and The Phantom Full Tower is a large case).  The Video card placement makes it almost impossible to use the Cosair RAM cooling set up.  They advertise this to be four way SLI compatiable, well it isn't for these beast cards.  The board failed to notice the second card regardless of the placement of the two cards.  The SLI set up never recognized it, and it walked over the other components such as the Hard Disk Drive.
I then contacted GIGABYTE technical support VIA Phone, which you have to hunt for, or send them a message through their site.  I sent two messages with no reponse from their support team.  I paid good money for this board, and I need technical support.  I called their support line, which is a US number that seems to route to Tiwan.  The first person I got was a complete jerk.  He had no understanding of what the issue really was, and provided no help.  I called back again, the second person I had seemed to be more knowledgeble, but they will rattle directions off to you, and if you still have an issue you call them back again.  Well I called them again, and the third person was far more help, but not to much help you felt like you had a fully qualified person helping you.  The end result is I have to send the board back to GIGABYTE so they can analyze the board, and can get it back in two weeks.  I am sending this off to them to look at, and I have ordered an ASUS Formula 5 Z board.  Once GIGABYTE sends me their board back it will be on eBay.
Tragically I have built a number of systems using GIGABYTE boards, and all have been successful.  It didn't work this way with a high end board at all.  Another question that rattles around the mind is GIGABYTE manufactures ATI products, which is the ONLY video cards they show in the manual.  This leaves one to question is this a way to force you to the ATI Line of cards; did they release this board way to early and put SLI in as an after thought? ASUS manufactures NVIDA products, so I am hoping to resolve this issue with their board.  If your looking to run a beefy NVIDA set up stay far away from this board, because it just doesn't deliver what they claim it does.

Came with broken CPU pins and no cover, no manual, no CD and no protective shield to cover the board. Also came with one random standoff screw in no bag or anything just in the box. The box was sealed and everything. I'm sure it could be a good board if it worked but I didn't want to test it seeing the CPU pins in the socket were bent. I got my refund and went for a more premium board from another manufacturer that I trusted and it came with no problems and worked right away.

MoBo dead on arrival. Powers up fans spin but no output, led/beeps. All other parts work on another motherboard. Will update if replacement works

There isn't that much maybe for two cpus and it seems very liquidy. Just spend the extra few bucks for some arctic silver 7, it works a lot better and their is much more of it.

Video constantly freezes. Constantly drops the Wi-Fi connection.
No support for device.
The specs appear to be awesome but it constantly freezes so you don't get too fully enjoy the device. You would figure with 2gb of ram and a quad core processor there would be almost no freezing or lag time.
Returned it a week later. NO SUPPORT!

Nothing of the offered features works on Ubuntu Linux OS.
The advertised product does not says nothing, until you open the box and see the manual.
The VDI does not work,
No support on their website, no driver for other OS than MS windows xp and vista.
If you want all the features stick with the original Intel Board
In fact when I searched for an Intel board this was selected by the Amazon search, but be carefull this is not the original product.

There is something wrong with this tablet or with the AGPtek company. I can't understand how a tablet has a Quad-core processor and has such a poor performance. I advise you not to buy this tablet. I think is better to save a little more money and buy something better... Something like Dell or nexus 7 i guess.... PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY IN THIS TABLE............

Nothing but problems trying to install it. I have an FM2 slot setup and I do not have the "stock" back plate on which you need to install the AMD standoffs onto. I had a Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo and the backplate that comes with it is not compatible with this. I spent about $20 for alternative back plates but none of the nuts fit the AMD standoffs.

It does however come with the back plate for all the Intel users, but given I have an AMD CPU, that snot much use to me.

I have contacted Corsair Support but I think I'm on my own with this one... Ill see what they say before I may have to return this.

It plods along extremely slowly when doing such a mundane task as listing my media video files on my drives. It does not multitask well at all.

Using the recommended chipset and memory.

DOA. Bent CPU pins because the pin protector barely fits on the CPU tray. Two slot of RAM dead. DO NOT BUY.

the foot bolt does not work properly, thus the CPU stand cannot be used.

I bought one of these because it said it had a 1.8ghz processor. I got CPUZ from the play store and saw it was only 1.2ghz That's FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!! Try to get people to buy it!!

For my application it is massively underutilized 99% of the time.  But the machine boots up amazingly fast.  Typical intel awesomeness.

Intel Core i7 whoops this CPU! I was shocked how a 4 core i5 was right on its heals. Not a fast processor!

Mainboard is malfunction.
X5sw didn't fly.
Don't buy this.
