GIGABYTE GA-EP43-UD3L ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
I bought this with a inter c2q Q9400 to replace my old pc with a amd socket 939 x2 3800+ and the difference is huge. I'm a gamer and it run pretty well counter-strike source. so im pretty satisfy with this purchass

THIS IS A GREAT PERFORMING MB. HAD SOME TROUBLE DURING SETUP, BUT IT WASN'T THE MB'S FAULT. GIGABYTE TECH SERVICE WAS VERY HELPFULL. SO YOU KNOW THERE IS HELP IF YOU NEED IT. I RECOMMEND THIS MB.

Comment:
Seems to be a good motherboard, but I had problems with the install. Had more problem with the tech support. Ended up returning

Comment:
Well packaged, extra cables etc made it nice. I wish the POST screen had a cooler image, but whatever. Lotsa USB ports! That is the reason I bought it.

Comment:
dual bios is great, instructions great, durability great, great onboard sound, large memory expansion capability. all in all very nice!!

I build computers professionally and the Gigabyte line of motherboards is amazing! Loaded with features for a great price! You wont be disappointed!

i got this with a prebuilt kit, i used it for a month with the windows 7 RC and it worked fine, then i happened to get the nice little windows 7 bug where it stops your mic from recording in. its not the motherboards fault but my gripe with it is when i tried installing windows xp pro on it, for some reason it was not installing and it kept messing up, i dont know if this is a mobo problem but thought id throw it out there

Bought Corsair 4gb RAM and it did not work with the mobo. Had to RMA the RAM to figure it out. Kind of a pain but otherwise works well with E8400 and Radeon 4850

This is my first Gigabyte mobo. I am not a tech specialist, but have cobbled myself up a computer or two, so I am not a complete ignoramus when it comes to hardware. This was a replacement for an ECS board that went bad, and boy am I happy with this! Easy installation with no serious complications, dead nuts reliable so far (been using it for about a week). I could use all my old memory (even different speeds), SATA HDDs and PCI cards. My only snag was that it only has one IDE legacy hook up so I either have to choose between my IDE HDs or my IDE DVD drives, since my case doesn't have them positioned so I can hook up one of each. But I'm going to fix that by buying a new SATA DVD drive. A slight snag that I ran into with the installation was that the hardware wizard couldn't find the hdaudbus.sys file, even when I loaded up my original Win XP Pro disk. Turns out the file is Hdaudbus.sys, but the wiz was looking for all lowercase. Weird, huh? Renamed the file l/c to fix it.

Bough this mobo to replace my wifes dead old ASrock mobo, huge difference in performance, tweaking, quality, options, lots of USB ports, extremely satifies and happy. I highly reccomend to ppl who they don`t wanna get broke but still get very good performances.Cheers

Great motherboard. Well priced. Has 8 USB ports which is good compared to my old P35-DS3L with only 4. Never had a problem with Gigabyte products. Very recommended.

Comment:
Lots of features easy to install but bad layout because several PCI slots are right next to RAM slots.

Comment:
You get what you pay for. It has a good fast start up, and has quite impressive capabilities. It will get bogged down under heavy use but just doing some micro-managing will fix that. Recommend a fast CPU and GPU with this board to keep it humming. Its a beast when paired with them.

One of the Cheapest PCI-E 2.0 motherboards. Running Windows 7 RC and it works great.

Comment:
like this board BUT northbridge runs pretty hot had to screw a old 486 cpu fan on it

Comment:
worked as expected from a Gigabyte BM, very stable, very good OC features, only catch i hate GigyByte approach of giving ALL USB power while PC is off

Comment:
Gotten 3 of these motherboards now, only 1 of them has worked. The one that works has worked great though.

Comment:
Very nice product.

Comment:

i love this board, i'm running a pentium dual core @ 3.33ghz (stock 2.50ghz) had no problems oc'ing, haven't had a lick of trouble with this board!

Comment:
You can not go wrong with this board for under $100. Easy install, nice looks, and great features. Running a e7400 with OCZ Fatal1ty 4GB Dual Channel PC8500 DDR2 1066MHz. Easy set up - lots of options.

Comment:
When my Biostar board died, i needed one that fit my budget and would handle the processor I had. This board is incredible! When you compare the price to the quality and capability, hands down, this is worth every penny! I'm running 4 gig OCZ Fatality RAM, and a C2D E7400 processor. I am very pleased with this product!
