its prob not DOA READ here

white Reviewed By: tvdang7 on 9/24/2006
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: somewhat high - Ownership: less than 1 day
Pros: i dont own this board but this im trying to help many of yall.
this applies to the DS3 board too.
the reason most yall cant boot up or u think ur ram isnt compatible is becuz most high end ram needs 2.0 V to get it going and the board defaults to 1.8V. u need to either buy ram that isnt rated 2.0V or buy a cheap stick of value ram ,boot with it and set 2.0 as ur ram voltage ,save it turn it off. switch out ram and presto it should work. hope this helps many of yall.
Cons: nothing here.

Great cheap 965 board...

white Reviewed By: The Fish on 8/20/2006
Rating + 5
Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 week to 1 month
Pros: Good price compared to other 965 boards
Good layout as the install went very fast and easy
Included software was able to update Bios in windows and worked well, no need for floppy
Manual and paper work was laid out well for even a first timer.
Good selection of overclocking tools and settings in the bios
No fan on Northbridge and a decent heatsink on Southbridge
Cons: North bridge heatsink does get very warm, wish it was bigger
Price is fair for a 965 board but may come down in a month or so as it is still new
Only 1 ide port but that is intels fault not gigabytes and will affect most/all ICH8 boards
Needs to update Bios ASAP as I had problems with the Bios and SCSI setup
Other Thoughts: I went from a ASUS board to a gigabyte and got better overclocks and this board is cheaper then the asus at newegg. So if looking for a cheap 965 board that has a good layout and allows overclocking better then asus and others... this is it.

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 day to 1 week
Pros: This board rocks! Running an E6300 with AC Freezer 7 Pro at 3.08ghz on stock voltage! Using 440FSB with Transcend AxeRAM DDR2-800 2x1gb memory. Memory currently running at 880mhz.
Cons: My only complaint is the lack of rear USB ports, but doesn't deserve an egg off IMO.
Other Thoughts: Buy this board, cheap alternative for learning how to overclock.
