GIGABYTE rebates is a SCAM!!!!
- Pros: it works.
- Cons: On the rebate from it said "Only one rebate per qualifying product per household per promotion
will be accepted. multiple purchases on a single product only qualify
for one rebate per promotion." so i bought GIGABYTE GA-MA770-UD3 and GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-US2H together under the same promotion. but my rebate was declined, they told me the barcode label didnt belong to an item eligible for offer GIG-5022, but i checked the rebate form and the motherboard model no. they should be the same. so i email them and ask, then they said "Both models are under the same offer code. The manufacturer allows a maximum of 1 rebate offer per billing address." it's not true, if you are not going to pay for the rabate, y would u offer it, this is the first and last time i buy their product ! i am done with Gigabyte !
- Other Thoughts: very bad customer service, no one picks up the phone for any rebate problem, i left my no. in the voice mail and sent them few emails, no reply at all, dont buy their stuff unless you want to deal with the trouble like this, they suck big time!!!!!
Good features but questionable reliability
- Pros: This is a feature rich motherboard for comparatively priced ASUS's motherboard. It worked great until it broke!
- Cons: There were warning signs in reviews about it suddenly dyeing but I went with it any way. It worked great until one day it suddenly died and will not post. I followed the RMA process and it was repaired and delivered in about 2 weeks. I have never had a MB die on me in last 15 years. For me reliability is the most important attribute and I will not buy gigabyte again. I replaced it with similarly priced ASUS but that has less features.
- Other Thoughts: Actually my review is for similar GA-MA78GM-S2H.
Nice Board - No Problems
- Pros: I do computer refurbs where I replace the mobo, processor and memory, etc. in Dull and other older national brand computers for customers that don't want to buy a whole new computer (actually, they are, they just don't realize it). I've used this board and it works great paired with a AMD 7850 Kuma cpu. I haven't exerienced any of the difficulties other reviewers are stating but anyone can get a bad mobo.
- Cons: I wish Gigabyte would let you buy two on the rebate, other than that, nothing bad. Can't even knitpick....
