Subject: Gigabyte Z77X-UP4 TH & Z77X-UP5 TH Motherboard Review
-------------------------------------------
We take a look at two of Gigabyte's first Intel Z77 motherboards featuring Thunderbolt connectors. Both the Z77X-UP4 TH and Z77X-UP5 TH include dual Thunderbolt ports for support of up to twelve compatible devices and three monitors. Paired with Gigabyte's Ultra Durable 5 premium and you're looking at two boards for the performance enthusiast on top of the latest technologies. To enhance the value, the Z77X-UP5 TH also comes with a USB 3.0 module that offers additional ports via 3.5" drive bay as well as a bonus WiFi/Bluetooth wireless module kit. See what else these Gigabyte motherboards have to offer (especially in terms of performance) in our latest roundup.

They're both nice boards & I'm glad to see Gigabyte also offer a Z77X-UD4H Which is exactly the same as the reviewed board sans the superfluous Thunderbolt & mSATA ports which makes it even cheaper. A far better proposition imho.

GigaByte did an excellent job on both boards. The Thunderbolt ports and mSATA most likely will not see a whole lot of mainstream use at first.
