Overview

Reviews
Gigabyte's GA-EP45C-DS3R motherboard has been optimized to work more efficiently with today's 45nm processors. The board has dynamic 6 gear power switching. As your system needs more power it gets it and when the power load goes down, so does the supplied power. This lets you have power when you need it, and save energy and money when you don't.
The board supports both DDR2 and DDR3 memory. You can install up to 16GB of DDR2 in 4 slots or up to 8GB of DDR3 in 2 slots. Either configuration will support dual channel mode.
System durability and security are as important as ever. Gigabyte's DualBIOS system has a second BIOS chip on the motherboard for quick and painless recovery from crashes and viruses. They also built the motherboard with all conductive polymer aluminum solid capacitors for increased longevity and power efficiency. An Ultra TPM module keeps your data as safe as your system.

Pros: EVERYTHING!! but mostly simple and ez to use
Cons: Couldn't change bios setting after using energy savor and easy tune6 program during windows operation so i got a bit confuse at first. but problem is easy to fix. Just reload optimal default setting in bios then restart pc and problem solve. other than that nothing.
Overall Review: would be nice if it came with another 2.0 pcie 16x rather than a 8x
