Question 1

does the built in wifi work good?

Accepted Answer

For regular use yes, but I noticed when pushing high bandwidth/files/torrent performance was not good, and I believe this is due to Intel's driver.

I purchased a Azurewave AW-CE123H (broadcom based) to replace it, it was an easy swap.

Question 2

Does wireless work out of the box or do I need antennas, or would they just increase signal? If so, what atennas (internal or external) are compatible/recommended with this board?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to install the intel drivers that enable the wireless. The board comes with a gigabyte branded antenna. The wireless is through an intel module so you don't need the antenna installed (screwed in) for it to work, but you may experience performance issues.

Question 3

can it take 
AMD Athlon X4 760K 3.8Ghz Socket FM2 4C 4MB L2 100W AD760KWOHLBOX Processor?

Accepted Answer

No. This is an Intel board. Look for boards that specifically say they are for AMD and the socket type you are looking for.

Question 4

Hi, I would like to know if a 3rd. generation CPU could be used on this MB ? backward compatible with LGA 1155.

Accepted Answer

No. Different pin count (1150 vs 1155) = different platform. 4th gen (Haswell) architecture (for now) only.

Question 5

will this motherboard support three monitors at once? What is the maximum size pcie x16 video card that will fit?

Accepted Answer

Austin's answer was the way it was on earlier generation of mother boards. The latest technology has for the most part overcome these issues. Most modern Intel boards with 4000 series graphics will support multiple monitors off motherboard as well as on dedicated card. I have I7 Ivy bridge running 6 monitors at the same time 4 off of dedicated card and 2 off of motherboard. Is dependent on the processor and support chip series for the most part.

Question 6

Where is the CPU fan slot? I can find the system fan, but I can't find the CPU fan. (Looking at the pictures)

Accepted Answer

Right next to the 4 pin CPU connector. There's a CPU fan header and a CHA(ssis) fan header side by side. TBH I can't tell from looking at the picture either; I only know this because I built with this board.

Question 7

Does it have built in BlueTooth?

Accepted Answer

The PCIe-mini wireless card that comes preinstalled on the motherboard - Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 - provides both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

Question 8

I noticed that this board has both DVI and HDMI outputs. Can you use both for dual displays?

Thanks.

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Any combination can be used.  It is even capable of running 3 monitors if your CPU can handle it (recommend at least an i5, better with an i7).

I've been running this motherboard in my HTPC build for over a year now using only the integrated graphics, and it is phenomenal.

Best of luck!

Question 9

Will this motherboard works with G.Skill 2133 mhz memory + i3 4330 processor?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it should work BUT only at 1600Mhz (NOT 2133Mhz). I made the same mistake and purchased this MB to work with 16GB of ADATA 2400Mhz RAM. The setup works extremely well and is very stable, but the RAM is locked to 1600Mhz and I cannot use the XMP settings for a higher clock. If you would like to reach >1600Mhz, I would recommend you spend the extra 20 dollars and get the Z97 version instead. Please refer to the specifications section (Memory standard) as it lists only 1600/1333 for the H97 version. Best of luck with your build.

Question 10

Does the MOBO come with any SATA 3 cables ?

Accepted Answer

No.  Mine did not come with any SATA cables.
