Good motherboard!
- Pros: Great card. fits perfectly in my case, comes bristled with fan headers.
Stock heatsink for the cpu works great, the I/O shield seems a bit off, but that just may be because of my doing. Love how it has 4 DIMM slots.
- Cons: When i got the motherboard, the screws for securing it into place onto the case were missing. i had to use screws i had from older computers lying around to secure it. Another thing, is the front audio header is ridiculously far away from where it should be : near the front! I had to use the regular audio connector for the front panels. no HD Audio in the front :( BIOS flashing worked fine, i put a Phenom II x4 955 in it, and it ran at 1.8 GHZ until i updated the BIOS.
- Other Thoughts: If it didn't have those issues above, it'd be a great mobo. Thanks Gigabyte :D
- Pros: Wonderful board design. Runs beautifully even before you have everything fine-tuned to your liking. Once the issues below are solved, I'll be perfectly happy with this board.
- Cons: Northbridge heat sink was horrifically loose. Absolutely no corner supports at all, and it had no pressure on the chipset. Easily jostled by a light bump as I was putting it into the case, resulting in the thermal paste bond being destroyed. I doubt it would've had decent thermal transfer even before then, either.
- Other Thoughts: Waiting for a response from Gigabyte's support team to decide whether to RMA for a replacement or just hit the hardware store for some bits and bobs needed to stabilize and tighten the NB heatsink's grip. It all depends on if they call it a rare manufacturing defect or a widespread design flaw.
easy as pie
- Pros: good board cheap price, manual makes it easy to use and the install was a snap.
- Cons: i found the bios reset was in the shadow of a battery, not a good place for it makes it hard to find, but overall come on, its as good as it gets for the price.
- Other Thoughts: id buy it again in a flash prolly gonna end up using it for my gfs pc 2.
