This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-G1.Sniper A88X FM2+ / FM2 AMD A88X (Bolton D4) SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros:

Looks good and great specs on paper.

Cons:

Out of date BIOS. RAID software is not what it should be. Very hard to setup. WIndows 8 did not install. Upon completion of the windows setup and the systems reboots from install it crashes. BSOD it was even orange once. Contacted tech support No help. This wasd suppose to be the best motherboard available for the new AMD 7850K APU. After this monster build I've decided to go back to Blue (Intel). At least with them you can at least install Windows without it crashing. GIGABYTE use to make good motherboards. I will be using ASUS or MSI for future builds. This should have been a very easy build. Trust me it has been a nightmare. GIGABYTE"S Tech Support needs better trained techs that know their products. I'm very disappointed, wish that I could get my money back and purchase an Intel platform. Buyer Beware!
