Update
- Pros: Really nice board quality and surprisingly good support from Gigabyte.
- Cons: No post issue was resolved with moving memory to different slots. Bios would not take keyboard input so Gigabyte thought it was because of AMD Phenom 9850 not being fully supported by F3 bios. Bought a $28 AM2 AMD Sempron which changed nothing. Gigabyte suggested trying a PS2 keyboard. The board finally took input and hitting DEL "prepare to enter setup" and just sits there... Gigabyte recommended RMA, it is on it's way back to Newegg now. Will update everyone once we try again.
- Other Thoughts: Really at current technology Bios function should be able to utilize a network connection and upgrade bios immediately before even using it and no floppy disks or downloading manually needed.
Not a bad mobo
- Pros: Fast.
- Cons: If you are having trouble posting with your new phenom cpu it's because the mobo doesn't recognize it. You need to either update the BIOS to the most recent version or use another cpu, like an athlon, to post load your OS, then use the software to update the BIOS through your OS.
- Other Thoughts: I think I fried this mobo when trying to install crossfire. Not sure what happened, but I the IRQ list halts at the ACPI controller. It's likely my fault so I dont' blame gigabyte.
Great Board, No real problems
- Pros: Pretty Looking. Hahaha. Dropped it in, posts, and works great with no problems. Dual PCI-E 2.0 x16 support. Lots of SATA and USB. Very easy online BIOS update.
- Cons: PCI-E power connector mounted to far away for the Sapphire Raedon 4850 Video Card. Will not recognize DDR2-1066. Had to manually set it in CMOS.
- Other Thoughts: Bios loaded was F3 --> F6 is the latest. Works great with AMD Phenom Black 9600 Agenda. Using
