    Gigabyte X58 UD4P MB

    oidigo1 was the Seller on November 17, 2009 EVGA

    I got this MB at a very reasonable price but to my dismay the whole process of receiving it was a disaster.
    First of all it took about 2 weeks to get the MB because he said that his wife forgot to mail it, so it just sat in the car. Next when i received the MB it was a mess. The box was ripped and torn. Upon inspecting the MB it had a Grey goo everywhere, even in the CPU socket which was covered by a piece of cardboard and electrical tape. i couldn\'t believe this, and i tried to get as much of it out as possible, but some was left in the cpu socket when i mounted my processor. (It had the consistency of play dough, but was sticky like freshly chewed gum). The MB also had a clear viscous liquid in and around the PCI-E slots which looked like melted silicone or jelly. I also whipped this clean. And finallly the MB came without a back panel/ io plate.
    All this being said the MB works flawlessly without a single crash running windows 7. Stable at 3.6GHz i7 720. Seller also offered to do a refund if i wanted to but i took my chances, as i scored it for a great price, and a month later the board is still running perfectly. Was going to leave a negative but ill just go with a neutral.
