Gigabyte ships the X99M-Gaming 5 in the company's red and black G1 Gaming packaging. The Gigabyte eye and board name are shown on the front side, while the rear is reserved for a detailed run-down of specifications and features.

Opening the box flap reveals a full-size image of the motherboard – a particularly useful addition to the packaging for in-store customers.

bundle

Four SATA cables, a flexible SLI bridge, and the rear IO shield form the mATX motherboard's basic bundle. Basic it may be, but the bundle is likely to be sufficient for the vast majority of this board's customers.

docs

Documentation consists of the standard array of manuals and paperwork, the driver CD, and two case stickers.

    I have been having that odd GPU load crashing issue, and I was beginning to think that I was going crazy. System is totally stable otherwise, Aida64 for 10+ hours with no issues, browse the web, watch movies, etc no problems. Game for more than a couple of minutes and crash, every time.

    At first I thought it was my XFX R9 270X, so I grabbed my other one (I pulled these out of a crossfire setup on my other system) and same issues occurred. I was just starting think about returning motherboard when I came across this post. I am going to try this fix when I get home and see if it resolves the issue for me.
