Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Z68 Motherboard Review
Andy Ruffell / 13 years ago
Due to the product being part of the mainstream/budget range of boards, we find the board inside a basic white style box that we’ve seen on other boards in this segment. Plastered all over the box are the main features including the mSATA connector, and how this board utilises Intel Smart Response Technology.
The back of the packaging has a lot of information to contend with and will take you quite some time to read through it all. The main features that are highlighted include USB 3.0, USB Power and SATA 3.0. Even though this board is a budget board, it does has the best capacitors and also features some of the top-end features that you’d only expect on their extreme boards.
Checking out what’s inside, we find a multilingual installation guidebook, French manual, ISRT installation guide, user’s manual, and Socket 1155 warning leaflet. Also included are four blue SATA cables, of which two are right-angled and an I/O panel shield plate.
