Pros: Cheap. Purhased this Motherboard with a bundle that included the following...
Intel Core i5-655K 3.2GHz LGA 1156 73W Dual-Core Unlocked Desktop Processor, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600, Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA Hard Drive, RAIDMAX Quantum Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case (Model: ATX-798WB)
And an OCZ StealthXstream II 700W ATX12V v2.2/ EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Power Supply (Model: OCZ700SXS2).

Cons: Motherboard was DOA. It will not power up or post. Fans spin up for 1 second then back off for 10 seconds, then cycle begins all over again.

Other Thoughts: I purchased this board as a project for my son and I, so that he will have a good PC to start college with.
I read reviews prior to purchase, just wish I had used better judgement.
Another known good power supply was tried with same result.
I am an IT support and repair specialist for the government and work with this kind of equipment every day. I was not expecting this. If a compatibility problem exist with the bundled items that accompany this motherboard, I hope that Newegg can figure this out before others are in the same boat as myself.

Pros: Good board for a basic performance system. USB 3.0 and firewire onboard. Plenty of video options on board.

Cons: This board ONLY SUPPORTS 1.5v MEMORY!!! This seems to be an unpublished spec. Incorrect memory voltage causes unpredictable errors and crashes which is easily mistaken for bad memory. Be sure to use 1.5v memory. I believe this is the problem other reviewers are having.

Other Thoughts: Keep in mind that the onboard video will only work with a CPU that has a built in GPU such as the i3 or dual core i5. Not all socket 1156 CPUs have this.

Pros: This board was in fact very tricky to get running stable with everything. but after all i have done i have finally got it up and running very very stable. this board is great once you get it up to par. i also had many ram problems with this motherboard(maybe compatability ) but i switched around the ram sticks in the slots, current running 2nd and 3rd slot counting from the left. honestly i would not give up on this board. try everything is my advice

Cons: My corsair ram would not boot at first, not so much a con maybe just a ram issue, replaced with g-skill ripjaw ram and runs liek a charm. The ram slots are tricky in this motherboard and the IDe dvd/cd drives didnt recognize right away. MY ONLY 2 CONS.

Other Thoughts: More complicated then usual but well worth it in the end. ty newegg. Minus 1 egg for the small complications.

Pros: Board Works Decent With 1 Stick Of Corsair XMS3 (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) Ram In. Running x64 Windows 7 Ultimate. Intel i3 530

Cons: I cannot get the board to operate with 2 sticks of ram inserted in the correct slots. (restarts every 4-5 seconds before booting the OS) also windows 7 has been crashing randomly and getting BSOD (not often). Also the board and/or windows would not recognize my IDE DVD/CD drives at first

Other Thoughts: thinking of returning the ram any help would be greatly appreciated as this is my first experience with newegg

Pros: Basically, it works as advertised. If I had read some of the recent owner reviews before hitting the purchase button, I probably would not have ordered this board. But it's been set up for a couple of weeks now and I've had absolutely no problems with it.

Cons: None

Pros: None

Cons: Got In Kit With RAIDMAX Mid Tower, OZC Stelth Stream Power Supply, Intel Core i5-6545K Dewel-Core Desktop
Processor, G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2x2GB) Desktop Memory, And A Seagate Baracuda 7200.11 Internal Hard Drive.
Did Not Have A Cooling Fan & Had To Order One (ZEROtherm CORE92 Socket 1156/1366 HDT Cooler.
When I Got Everything Together Turned Machine On, Power Lights Came On Momenterrily & Turned Off Constantly Until I Turned Machine Off.
Ordered GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD3 LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB3.0 ATX Itel Motherboard And Intel Core i5-760 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95 W Quad-Core Desktop Processor.
Everything Worked Excep The GIGABYTE GA-H55M-UD2H LGA 1156 Intel H55 HDMI Micro ATX Intel Motherboard.

Other Thoughts: I Applied To Newegg For A RMA Confirmation & Received One To Get A Replacement Motherboard.
If I Have Any More Problems With This Order I Will Post Another Review.

Pros: Inexpensive. Easy to install.

Cons: Everything seemed fine, got everything installed, connected, seated and powered it on using a known good monitor (VGA) and NO video at all. I get lights on my keyboard and mouse so I know the USB ports are working, I can hear the hard drive engage, the Phase LED's all come on for a short period then go off. All the system fans and processor cooling fan are spinning, but still NO video. Tried reseating the processor, RAM, etc. and stll same result so connot get into BIOS.
Looks like I may need to look at other mobo's.
Very frustrating - was looking forward to a nice clean new system to work with.

Other Thoughts: I also bought as part of this DIY kit an NZXT Lexa S case which is a very nice case, but they chose not to include an internal speaker so I can't even get any beep codes to get any idea of what the problem might be with the mobo other than bad on-board video out of the box.

Pros: Roomy, pretty?

Cons: Arrived DOA. Plugged in 700W power supply that came in bundle. Didn't work. Plugged in 500W and by miracle it worked. However, tried 700 W power supply on everything else and it worked, biased motherboard? With 500 W, everything turned on, but no video? Checked all components, memory, cpu processor, etc. Still didn't work. Decided to buy intel board instead.

Other Thoughts: Don't buy unless at your own risk. Should have looked at all the other reviews before buying this board

Pros: HDMI output (which quit working) so, uh, ya I guess there are truely no "pros".
FAIL

Cons: First problem was the network adapter or LAN worked intermittently. That's right, it would just go on and off. Super cool so I had to use a wi-N adapter and couldn't even hardwire it...
Next up, out of nowhere I get NO OUTPUT to monitor/keyboard/mouse
Yeah... So now I cant even go into bios or anything. When I power on the monitor briefly comes on and then displays "no signal" and nothing works.
Yes, I've tried everything, clearing cmos, unplugging power to board, removing ram, the mobo battery, etc.
Upon power up, everything in the case starts up fine but then no outputs.

Other Thoughts: I was excited to try Gigabyte but I really don't even want to deal with this again. I should've listened to the bad reviews on here. I seriously doubt I will ever deal with the company again unless they fully redeem theirselves with an upgrade or something. What a waste of my time and now I can't even rma the stupid thing cause I sent in the rebate already. DON'T DO IT!!

Pros: Cheap.

Cons: Shorted out, naturally right after the paperwork for rebate goes through so I can't return it.
RAM slots conflict with HDDs and Optical Drives so some very careful placement of wires is required.
