Most Critical Review

(Update) Bought two, one down.

GIGABYTE GA-Z97-HD3 (rev. 2.0) LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: Easy install, easy UI in BIOS. The one board that is still up and running hasn't had a single problem.

Cons: (UPDATE) Wow, RMA finished, installed new board, worked great, shipped computer back to family member, computer worked for a day, AND MOBO NOW HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN. NEVER AGAIN GIGABYTE. Identical CPU, RAM, etc setup as the first good board, but the second one has 3 out of 4 DIMM slots down for the count. Board worked fine for a year, and then the slots failed individually after each boot from an off state. I am now just leaving the computer on while I wait for the RMA process, as shutting it down and powering on will most likely cause the last slot to fail.

Overall Review: This is probably my 30th or so build and the first time that I've had a MOBO go out on any. It was bound to happen eventually, thus the 3 stars instead of 1. I will update after the RMA process is complete.

Good for the price

Overall Review: The rear fan died within a week. Overall the layout is fine and the price is good for what it is.

Worked perfectly - 4K UHD Rips no problem

Pros: - Read and ripped the latest 4K UHD Star Wars - TROS no problem. - Worked right out of the box. - Whisper quiet, especially when compared to my previous Asus standard Blu-Ray drive.

Cons: - Pricey, but I don't have to worry about bricking a drive.

Overall Review: I'm guessing newer units are much quieter than previous reviewer's units because you can barely hear this one. It sounds like a good 120mm fan at 1200RPM.

Works with Windows 10
