GIGABYTE GA-X99M-Gaming 5 Review @ Vortez

I do like me some Gigabyte motherboards and I'm not just saying that cause I review them but, rather that they are pretty good.

(Wait I guess I literally just said that) doh!

Today, we get to look at the latest LGA2011-3 Socket X99 motherboard from GIGABYTE only this time it is far from the monolithic SOC Force we reviewed upon release. This time the motherboard is much smaller but still encompasses the Gaming-G1 branding so it will be interesting to see if this mATX motherboard still has what it takes to house Intel's finest range of processors or it is simply a diminutive but basic motherboard hoping to draw in consumers on the back of previous success and clever marketing.

Best thing about this motherboard is that it is tiny, MicroATX tiny and supports the new LGA2011v3 processors and single banks of quad channel DDR4 memory.  The board also comes with Gaming G1 features assuming you buy into the marketing suggesting you need them for some reason.
