Conclusions:
With GIGABYTE's P67A-UD7 you get an abundance of USB 3.0 and 2.0 connectors, multiple USB 3.0 case headers, a slick black and gold themed PCB and heatsink design throughout, true NVIDIA 3-way SLI and AMD CrossfireX support without the slowdowns found in lesser models, four SATA 6.0Gb/s connectors, a hefty 24 phase power delivery system and amped up circuitry to make sure your CPU investment is made the most of, plus more GIGABYTE centric features that you can poke a stick at, and all this at a fairly affordable price-point compared to previous Intel motherboard generations.

For anyone serious about their multi-GPU setup and Sandy Bridge overclocking, look no further than the P67A-UD7 in GIGABYTE's range of motherboards. It combines all the features you have come to expect from a high-end device from a company with over 20 years of engineering experience. Combine this with fantastic after-sales support and 3 year warranty, and it really makes the gold on this motherboard shine even brighter.
