Take care! The link to the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5-TH to Amazon.IT is wrong. The link point to the Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP4-TH !!!
I just received the board and I discover it after a while. I hope it will not compromise the x86 installation.

I've just made the correction- thank you for spotting it! That board should work just fine- although there are only USB3 ports on the rear. That is why we recommend the UP5.

The pity is that I realized it just after mounting. There is also an error on Amazon website that shows the picture of the UP5 model. I already trying to send it back to the seller.
