Pros: It works fine for the dollar. Does everything its suppose to do.

Cons: It does not cross fire in the APU options i have, but of course APU is still very new.

Pros: Does its job with no problem, had it for about a year, and have yet tu run into a problem. Ive been reading the reviews and everyone seems to b having problems, i doubt i got the only good board, i would recommend it if youre on a budget.

Cons: None

Pros: The only pro I can see is, the motherboard works but the VGA (D-sub) port does not.

Cons: What good is a MB without the options for video not working.

Other Thoughts: Buy a slightly better MB and stop getting burned by these cheap boards.

Pros: Great motherboard for a budget build

Cons: From what I can tell most of the rear analog audio ports did not work, nor did any of the usb 3.0 ports, but other than that it the other ports work fine

Pros: Other than the con it seemed to work great. The board did everything it was supposed to do (well almost everything) and seemed to be a quality product for its price.

Cons: Mine had a bad networking port that did not want to cooperate. I got it to work once for a few minutes then never again. MB just refused to communicate with my router DHCP. It should have just connected out of the box with no problem. After an hour of testing software and hardware I gave up on it and returned the board for a refund.

Other Thoughts: I did not have enough time with the board to test it's longevity or daily performance.

Gigabyte might also think about including a USB 3.0 header on all of their boards. USB 3.0 front panels are very common, and I was surprised that all boards do not include them now.

Pros: not much, other than easy to install

Cons: got it as part of a combo deal, but after assembly I tried to boot it up. now all I get is continuous short blinks of the led on my case. had to caniballize the disc reader of my old pc, but it won't read the bios disc. The fans all kick in, the hard drive starts and it goes full vegetable. manual gives no clue as to what could be wrong, not even a list of beep codes for errors. wish I could get a refund, but the policy states that it has to be inside the original packaging, and untouched in order to send it back. Also, you can't get a refund if it was part of a combo deal. will probably scrap it and just get a new one.

Pros: Good value for the money with high quality construction.

Cons: Just because it supports FM2+, don't assume the board is running with a BIOS version that will support your CPU!

Other Thoughts: There are two hardware versions of the board: 1.0 and 1.1. The Gigabyte support site will only show you information and downloads for version 1.0. The board that is shipping is version 1.1! The hidden support site for version 1.1 is at: http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5397#ov. Check your BIOS version against the CPU support table and upgrade your BIOS if necessary. Don't waste time and money messing around with a flaky system.

Pros: -Works fine
-No problems after 2 months

Cons: -none

Other Thoughts: Lot's of people say their MOBO are faulty, but mine works fine

Pros: Good board for a budget build. I paired with an A6 7400K APU and 8GB of DDR3-1600 RAM. Disabled turbo and OC'd @ 4GHZ with no issues. It's not a screamer, never expected it would be. The board is small and will fit in any case I've ever come across.

Cons: None really.

Other Thoughts: The only thing that irks me is navigating the UEFI BIOS, keyboard strokes are not as intuitive as other boards are, and the mouse cursor is really sluggish - wish there were a way to adjust the speed of the mouse tracking, but really it's a minor complaint so I I'll put that here instead of as a "con"

Pros: it fit in my case. not much of a pro, mid-ATX gaming case.

Cons: It died after 3 months filled with error messages and crashes.
finally it died. no all that happens when I turn on my computer is thus: fans/HDD/ODD spin up, lights turn on and look pretty, and nothing else happens. no beeps, no post, no actually BOOTING UP-GASP, WHAT AN AWFUL IDEA-
yup. you get the idea.

Other Thoughts: I am a student on an online school, and so the mobo really chose an awful time to die.
I would not recommend this to a friend or ANYONE.
