The first build: No problems that I am aware of. All DIMM sockets are working. The PCI Express x16 slot is working. The available PCI Express x1 slots are not used at this time. All assembly was preformed following the GA-Z97M-DS3H mobo manual directions. This mobo was selected because of the GA-Z97M-DS3H Motherboard Block Diagram on page 5 of the manual. Did not anticipate needing the PCI or the S/PDIF Out of the GA-Z97M-D3H. The GA-Z97M-DS3H kept it simple. Did look at other mobo manufactures' manuals. The GIGABYTE manual and mobo website are easy to follow (KISS). Correct memory was selected with the mobo documentation, and over-clocking is available due to proper GIGABYTE website guidance. The build/mobo is very stable to date. Current OS is Ubuntu.
Looks simple to the eye, yet that's the GA-Z97M-DS3H strength.

Intel Z97 chipset and solid cap board. Like the 4 USB 3 ports on the back.
Board is very cramped.
EVGA 950 GTX blocked a couple sata ports
Cooling for mofsets is missing completely.
The biggest problem is that the board take 40 seconds to display the Gigabyte splash screen. It takes another 32 seconds to boot into Windows-this is with a SSD hard drive!
Looks like I will be contacting Gigabyte tech support (which I am not looking forward to at all). Flashed to the newest BIOS and the board still reacts the same. In the meantime, I will look for another board to make up for the 2-4 weeks I don't have one.
