Power consumption was slightly lower on the GIGABYTE versus the EPoX. This could simply be due to the use of passive chipset cooling versus the active chipset cooling present on the EPoX. The EPoX also featured a slightly larger selection of onboard components. At any rate, the difference was minimal.
