The motherboard that could
Pros: This little mobo is pretty great. It's one of the few AM3+ micro atx motherboard, and it looks outstanding.Its somewhat stable so that's really good. I have it paired with a FX-6300. I'm not overclocking yet.Integrated back up GPU which happens to be in use right now.
Cons: While this is a great motherboard theres a reason I gave it 4 eggs. 1. I had trouble booting from usb off any usb port. I had to barrow a friends DVD drive to save the day. 2. The off color sata cables. Why not spend maybe another 2 pennies and give us black ones?(Although this doesnt really bother most people, I have this board inside a 350D Windowed case, and that sticks out the most) 3. Theres 2 fan ports. 2. one for CPU and one for case.I knew this going in but still, what the POOP GIGABYTE.
Overall Review: Overall I'm fairly happy, other than having to now spend about 10$ on a fan extender and 4$ on a new sata cable for asthetic looks.Aside from the USB issues, I'm proud to say this is my board, and it's in my system.
Ehh wait till you can get something better.
Pros: Cheap
Cons: Terrible whining noise Risky Ugly
Overall Review: Wait and get a cx430 if you can. My friend has this and his seems to be okay, but mine was a complete dud, only reason it gets 2 stars is because my friend's works.
It's a sata cable
Pros: Does what its supposed to.
Cons: No problems
Overall Review: Get it, cheap , looks decent, and its plenty long enough for most instances.
