when I saw the video for the first look I thought I want 1, I'm glad i'm not the impulsive buying type 
I'm surprised gigabyte sent you 1 considering you already mentioned the bad v droop, they must of known you'd check that out

sigh
I was so looking forward to this being a great board. Sigh.
Back to the X79 Pro I guess. How did IT do with a hex-core Xeon?

hmmm Love Gigabyte mobos, but as far as pushing hardware, the voltage settings have been annoying me since the solid 775 mobos. The newer 775 mATX have same problems, set the voltage and it disappears somewhere when you oc and put under load.

SAS missunderstanding?
Something i don't grasp about this review...
I always understood that SAS has a backward compability with SATA, so i guess you can use Mainstream SATA hd's on those SAS connectors!!
Making this mb achieve the total of 14 usable ports just like the asrock extreme11, am i wrong or should some testing be made?
