Right, you asked,
970A-UD3 (£65) - Fried on the 24V connection and ruined my Akasa AK1200W PSU in the mean time
MA770T-UD3 (£55) - Just died, completly
P67A-D3-B3 (£90) - WOnt accept more than 3 VGA cards, even though it as 5 PCI-E (2 x16's, 3 X1) and when you add PCI-PCI-E converter it just doesnt boot full stop.
Now, MSI,
870-C45 (£45) - Doesnt skip a beat, must be 2 months solid now no down time
p67a-gd65 B3 (£90) - Pretty new but looks and works a million times better than any gigabyte i've had. Rock solid now.
Gigabyte have cost me big time, That PSU was £145 on offer from £195 so all in all they cost me £300+
Nothing any of you can say to change my mind, MSI (as back in the day) kick ass

Thanks for the reply, Messhead. If I buy any mobos directly for mining I will certainly consider this. I can see better value in the MSI 870 and 970 for mining over GA in any effect due to about 30% cost difference here if nothing else.
On that GA P67 did you try troubleshooting ICH drivers, 16x use in the 16x slots(i.e., 16x-16x riser if on cables), shorting presence pins on the 1x slots, etc?
Cheers
