3 out of 5 eggsdecieving

Pros: Small, cheap, shipping was right on scheduled time.

Cons: I bought this motherboard because of the x88 chipset being able to run crossfire with an discrete 6000 hd series vid card I already owned. Too bad every time I follow the directions in the manual to activate x-fire, the pc turns it off as soon as win8 loads. " Your Vga card has been change, returning to default setting". No choice to not do that. what a disappointment.

1 out of 5 eggsDOA On Arrival

Pros: Cheap price for an internal USB 3.0 connector for the case.

Cons: DOA out of the box. Will not post. No video from VGA, DVI, HDMI. Tested with multiple power supplies and CPUs. This is my second MSI DOA in the last month. I will be looking for another brand.

Other Thoughts: Because this is my second in a short period of time Newegg did offer to pay for return shipping. The bigger loss for me is the waiting time for a replacement and the time of rebuilding.

1 out of 5 eggsWont fire-up

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Couldn't fire it up straight out of box. Same parts another new motherboard did work fine. NO SPEAKER CONNECTION!!!
Most valuable thing to help when things go wrong is missing: speaker connection.

5 out of 5 eggsFantastic Board

Pros: has enough usb ports on rear, plenty of sata onboard, has old school pci slot, ready to upgrade in the future, 3 video ports, hdmi, d-sub. dvi.

Cons: No. 1 sata port is too close to usb 3 header. Big usb 3 connectors will need some modification to be able to insert it. The front panel connectors did not come with a little adapter to make them easy to connect.

Other Thoughts: small connectors for front umbilicals were hard to connect with my small chasis. tight space big hands problem. Everything went smooth with the A8 7600 kaveri APU. Board booted without any need to edit the bios whatsoever. Later I enabled turbo cpu feature and adjusted system time clock. Probably should have done that before putting the os on.

Pros: Lots of SATA ports, USB 3.0

Other Thoughts: Previous review was my own mistake. It has been a while since I have worked with a new motherboard and I didn't realize some things had changed. Please disregard my previous review.

5 out of 5 eggsgreat board.....rebate scam

Pros: great board as said in previous review

Cons: these rebate companies are crooks!!!
they will not send your rebate
always take a digital image of all paperwork
i can't believe they can get away with this

Other Thoughts: the only way to get your rebate is to keep calling and tell them u have a pic of all the proof needed......... then they will finally send it

5 out of 5 eggsWorks Great

Pros: This mobo was very easy to install, everything dropped right in no problem. I didn't have any problems on initial start up, and didn't have any issues booting linux up off of a USB flash drive. Noctua L9a cooler mounted easily onto the board, and is cooling my CPU nicely. Installed some DDR3-1866 ram, and it had no problem recognizing it, and running it at full speed.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Make sure to check CPU compatibility on Gigabyte's site before you make your final order, it seems that other people have had issues. I put an X4 750k in this, and had absolutely no issues.

I'd happily buy this board again for another build.

1 out of 5 eggsI think if it worked i would be more satisfied

Pros: It fits inside my chassis

Cons: It failed before I could even start it up. I quadruple checked all cables and connections, turned on supply and pressed the buttons and....nothing, the fans jiggled for about a half second then turned off again. it would then require to be totally turned off including the power supply to attempt to turn back on

Other Thoughts: I hope I can get this replaced and give it another shot, I hope that the second time works better

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Customer,

Thank you for your comments. We apologize for your difficulty with your GIGABYTE product. Please contact us at newegg-support@gigabyteusa.com with the case number 110532 in the e-mail subject line. We will provide personalized service and analysis to help solve your issue ASAP. If the matter is urgent, please send us your contact number, and we will contact you.

Please check the following:

1. Be sure both ATX 24-Pin and ATX12V 4 or 8-Pin are firmly connected into the board.

2. Check the chassis power switch to make sure it's connected to the "Power Switch" pins on the front panel header, please see user manual for the exact location of the power switch pins.

3. Power up the system by making contact the power switch pins with a paperclip.

4. Disconnect additional components or hardware to see if the system is able to power on with the minimum system configuration.

5. Test the motherboard on the test bench (outside of the computer case) to eliminate the ground issue.

6. Try another power outlet or bypass any battery backup system.

7. If possible, test the power supply unit in another PC to ensure it is in working condition.

8. Attempt to test different model of power supply unit to rule out PSU related possibility.
