Pros: Price. It has 8 sata ports.

Cons: Unable to make it work with AMD Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz Socket FM2+ 95W AD860KXBJABOX Desktop Processor (BLACK EDITION). Powers up fine but no video signal from either of my video cards.

Overall Review: Build is as follows: 1} mobo is GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-D3h 2) Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-650 Continuous 650W@40°C Power Supply 3} 2 x G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3- 10666CL9S-4GBRL 4} Athlon X4 860K Kaveri Quad-Core 3.7 GHz Socket FM2+ 95W AD860KXBJABOX Desktop Processor 5} Intel 120 Gig SSD pulled from my main Computer when I upgraded to a 256 GB Samsung SSD 6} a pair of video cards verified to work in other computers. First one I tried was an XFX A 2 gig AMD 7750 that does not require power from the psu. Fans would not even power on when in either PCE video slot nor would it put out video. Thinking the power draw might be too much (not the case as I used this card in a computer where I successfully run the card after swapping in my out my 650W PSU), I then tried my other card a SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 4670 DirectX 10.1 100296HDMI 1GB 128-Bit DDR3 I had laying round. This video card didn't produce video either, but at least the cooling fans on the card powered up. This is not my first computer build and 3 of my last 4 builds used boards from Gigabyte without any issues in either setup or running over the last 8 years. Very disappointed in this board. I am aware that I bought a board intended for an APU style CPU and that my CPU is not an APU. The Processor listed is listed as a supported CPU, however and I don't feel that that should be an issue. My build is intended as a combo file server and Linux based HTPC with a pair of tv tuners.
