I get "The Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD7 TH (Thunderbolt) is part of Gigabyte’s classic series featuring a top-notch design that includes a 8 Phase Ultra Durable VRM design"

So 8 phases - OK, but these days not fantastic

The sabertooth does a bit better with 8+2. And Asus is known for quality boards.

reason i liked the GT gaming was the audio as i have really expensive headphones and AMP edition audio suppose be top notch as my headphones are 39 Ohms i think il get the GT gaming and test my luck on OC as my current mobo stopped at 4.7ghz and i'm pretty sure its 8 power phase the mobo in my specs and UD7 is out my price range as its refund only got about $360 aus to replace it. other wise i might get http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=138_1491&products_id=27514 this and get a sound card for $100 is there reason why this mobo is no good?
