GIGABYTE GA-H81M-DS2V (rev. 1.0) LGA 1150 Intel H81 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: 1.easy to install 2.easy to update bios, 3.easy to OC with Pentium G3258 4.great UEFI bios, easy to play around 5. work right out of box no DOA

Cons: 1. no onboard USB 3.0 connector 2. voltage limit to 1.2 means limited CPU OC

Overall Review: I got this board and G3258 to upgrade my son's old core 2 duo E7400 machine and it works great. OC at 4.2Mhz 1.2 Vol with zalman cnps5x perfoma and temp is pretty good (idle 27-31C, loaded 57-67C ) and stable. i'm waiting for ram deal (now xms3 4gb 1600) and decent Video card (now old radeon hd3850 512mg).

Great reliable SSD!!

Pros: I choose samsung ssd over other brands that cheaper because of reliability. And it has not been disappointed me yet. I connected it with sata3 and set bios to AHCI, then installing window 7 ultimate takes about 12 minutes(full set up with installing other programs took about 1hr). All the write and read speed rates reach up as advertised. I ran through 3 different benchmark tools and the results are very satisfied. And guess what? WEI score was 7.9!!! absolutely great ssd!!!! way to go samsung

Cons: rate of transfering small size files was not that great!

Overall Review: Oh! I forgot to mention that booting time was blazing faster than my old wd mechanical hdd and shutting down time is like blink of eye......buy this ssd and feel the difference for yourself
