I heard Gigabyte had a lot of trouble a while back with their older boards but have scence gotten better. Are the Z68 boards included in this lot of trouble period? Specifically the Z68 UD3H-B3.
 
I'm not totally sure but I think they were having trouble with the P67 and H67 chipsets when they first came out. I think that they fixed the issue before the Z68 boards came out.
 
Okay. I heard though that Gigabyte just had tons of trouble with support and RMAs and board quality control, etc. and that got fixed in recent years, which I assume means Z68 is a good board because its newer.
 
I have never had a failure of any gigabyte board i have had, although i just bought a gigabyte z68-ap-d3 which is supposed to be 22nm ivybridge compatible out the box, needless to say it wasn`t luckily i had other sandybridge units i could take cpu out of and use it to update the bios.

But i read lots of similar stories online and a lot people did not have a sb chip to put in, i though this as quite poor of gigabyte and ebuyer.
 
Been buying Gigabyte boards for years and this is the first I have heard of anything like that. Board quality or RMA/support. At first they just made I guess what you could call run of the mill boards. But in the late 90s starting competing with Asus and making top end boards. But never heard of Gigabyte having bad boards or customer support.
 
Okay, I heard that Giagbyte had some major problems for a couple years around 2008 but that was just one person, so I guess hes wrong. Thanks, guys.
