Update the BIOS
- Pros: Seems like a great board, everything fits nicely and a lot of the connectors were in a better place than the ASUS it replaced.
- Cons: Shipped with BIOS revision F2, system kept restarting just before windows 7 would finish installing and I was troubleshooting everything except the BIOS. Flashed the BIOS to F4 and everything went fine after that.
- Pros: straightforward setup, easy overclocking
- Cons: not really cons, but no firewire and pcie won't run in 8x/8x
- Other Thoughts: at first I thought there was a problem with the mobo because live cds and os installs would randomly freeze, and memtest checked out fine. turns out the ram actually was the problem, since they wouldn't work properly without the right timings and voltages.
Board beeps like crazy until you install memory in "white" slots
- Pros: Solid construction; plenty of USB and SATA ports; easy installation of CPU and heatsink; generous supply of SATA cables; compatible with 4-pin CPU power plugs (i.e. don't need a power supply with the 8-pin EPS plug); install guide is very good.
- Cons: As other reviewers have already said, if you don't install any memory OR if you install memory in the blue slots instead of the white ones, the speaker will beep rapidly when you power up. I was convinced I had a bum board until I read other reviews that described this -- thanks guys!
- Other Thoughts: Gigabyte seems to make some pretty rock-solid boards. I caution against using their Dynamic Energy Saver (DES) feature, however, because I've had other Gigabyte systems get in an almost unrecoverable situation, where the POST fails to boot the OS because it "thinks" DES is not properly enabled. The only way I was able to resolve was by flashing the BIOS. Aside from this annoyance, these seem to be very good boards.
