GIGABYTE GA-H67MA-UD2H (rev. 1.0) Pro Reviews

Overall, it's good to see Gigabyte paying as much attention to the small-form factor focused H67MAUD2H as it does on its full sized ATX motherboards. This is a well-featured board then, perfect for the HTPC if not the performance crowd.

The Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H does not have a lot of physical features, unless you have need of lots of external USB ports. While it offers some BCLK overclocking, there are not enough fan headers on the board to support basic all-in-one water cooling, or more than one case fan. The SATA ports are oddly further into the board which is not ideal. The BIOS is however rock solid and simple to use, which is no small feat. The PCIe slots are not ideally laid out (I would prefer x1, x16, x1, x4), and in their current configuration would restrict RAM coolers when using a dual slot, long GPU. There are no Power/Reset buttons, no Debug LED, but the software included works and does its job. For $125, the ASRock beats it in bang for buck, but people will not be disappointed if they picked up the H67MA-UD2H (or rather, its B3 equivalent, the H67MA-UD2H-B3). The Gigabyte board comes with a three year warranty.
