How good are gigabyte motherboards?

How good are they in terms of reliability and customer service?

I've used most motherboard brands and I've seen them both be very reliable or randomly bad, but I'd say they are one of the best brands out there as long as you don't go for the cheapest models. I still own 3 gigabyte motherboards that are 8, 6 and 4 years old and work just fine. But I've had to replace some for my customers that weren't that old. But they don't fail more than other brands like biostar, asrock, ECS or intel.

I build with and recommend ASUS or Gigabyte:

1-ASUS
2-Gigabtye
3-ASROCK
4-MSI
5-EVERTHING ELSE.......

How good would you say gigabyte customer support is.

I would say ASUS first then Gigabyte , both are decent if you need to deal with them.

interesting as I have heard that ASUS is a nightmare. My main concern is if I get a bad/DOA board.
I think I might go with gigabyte

The only issue I ever had was with an Asrock Extreme 9 that died after a week , they did come through after about a month , with my replacement.

I live in Mexico and usually customer support for any brand always sucks because there are very few laws that protect the end user. Both Asus and Gigabyte have been very helpful in the past, but I can't be sure in other countries.
