Decent board, but quality issues
- Pros: Boots up
- Cons: I would blue screen if my memory was in slots 1 and 3 (dual channel), but works fine in 1 and 2, 2 and 3 and 2 and 4 (dual channel).
- Other Thoughts: Didn't feel like waiting to get a new one shipped back and I only have 4gb of RAM so I just kept it. Just be aware (as others have noted) that Gigabyte has quality control issues with this board.
- Pros: Good solid board. Decent price. Ram flexibility. The rebate finally arrived!!
- Cons: Experienced some hang ups during start up. It doesn't seem to happen every time but it can be very annoying. I still think its a good board but I took off two eggs instead of one because of gigabytes pathetic tech support with the issue.
Not DOA, but what a piece!!
- Pros: This board has great features for the money.
- 8 SATA
- 16 GB max support
- Lots of fan supplies
- Nice layout
- Looks great!
- Cons: The board sucks! When I ordered it I just ignored the 1 egg reviews (thinking they just got unlucky), and looked at the good reviews. This was a mistake!
The board wasn't DOA. It POSTed fine, installed windows, drivers, etc..., and then the system would just shut down. It wouldn't turn back on for hours. I installed PC Wizard (to stress processors and monitor temp), switched the PSU, etc... and no problems (temps never got above 42).
I finally returned the board after reading several reviews that had similar issues, and got a BIOSTAR instead. My system rocks now!
Luckily my board sucked right out of the box, and not 30+ days later. Go newegg! Go BIOSTAR!
- Other Thoughts: This was my first PC build, and the process was fairly frustrating due to this board. I will definitely pay more attention to the negative reviews in the future.
This board isn't worth the risk.
