Source Steven Bassiri from Tweak Town publish last week his take on the GIGABYTE X99-Gaming 5P. I think it is safe to say that he liked his experience with the gaming motherboard. But why don’t you see for yourself, here is his final thoughts on the mobo.   Final Thoughts The X99-Gaming 5P is a really solid Intel X99 motherboard. Being part of the second wave, it has fixes for some of the issues with GIGABYTE's first generation of X99 motherboards. The optimization of feature placement, larger heat sink, and socket with extra pins all provide incentives for the purchase of the new X99-Gaming 5P over its predecessor. Overall system and IO performance is up to par with the best performing boards. The direct routing of PCH and CPU bandwidth to the slots and ports provides great compatibility and performance. While it has a 6-phase VRM, thermal performance and overclocking is excellent. I would have liked to see some OC features like a POST code display, but OC recovery was except...

Thanks to my teacher Eddie Coulson @EKCoulson for this fact and so many more!

While we're at it, let's stop talking about "good" kids and "bad" kids. Kids are people and labels like this don't help.

This idea came from a Tweet, which you can see below. Thanks for the reminder and the idea, Melanie! "Normal" is only a washing machine setting anymore and no longer applies to education. https://t.co/dmDeSfraFa — melanie kestory (@techmom76) May 11, 2015

This is not going to be popular. Administrators are going to contact me in protest. My own husband might not approve of this post. But I'm going to say it anyway: stop the teacher dress code war. If a teacher wants to wear jeans to work, make it okay in your policies. Don't force her to "earn it" as a "prize" or wear a "spirit shirt." If a teacher can't earn the respect of parents, students, and community, it's not because of her wardrobe. Also, khakis can look just as sloppy as jeans, so stop saying it's about jeans. Also, why is polyester the only acceptable administrative fabric? Teachers, I dare you, give out "poly passes" to the admins in your life. If they do a good job, let them wear their polyester pants on Fridays . . . but only if they wear a spirit shirt.
