    Why do you like Gigabyte?

    As the title says, what do you guys like about Gigabyte?

    Price?
    Features?
    Customer service?
    Is it because they aren't Asus or DFI? :p
    Does the distinctive color scheme appeal to you on an emotional level?
    Is it because they chose not to make a 790i?

    Price, build quality, and the ease of overclocking with the BIOS on their mainstream boards.

    For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

    I wonder what the ratio of Gigabyte owners who are colorblind is, and how it compares to other brands.

    I've been happy with Gigabyte boards because of the ease of overclocking and decent customer service. Nothing to complain about here.

    Build quality is pretty good. I got a Gigabyte 4850 just because the Sapphire one didn't have solid caps. This detail about teh 790i makes melike them more. And I hear they're ditching the pink / neon green ram slots too.

    Luckily for me, I don't need to kiss ass to get an X58 mobo
