Gigabyte EP45-UD3L ATX LGA775 P45 DDR2 PCI-E 2PCI SATA2 RAID HD Sound GBLAN Motherboard

Cons: Only 1 PCI-E slot, but I knew that going in, so I can't really fault the board for that.

Pros: Nice layout and overclocks well. I've got a 2.66 core 2 duo running at 3.10 ghz on stock cooling with zero problems. Runs faster memory, and the BIOS is feature rich with lots of tweakability built into it. The largest FSB available on the old LGA 775 platform.

Cons: First one was DOA with the cpu fan/reboot loop issue that some others have been having. Had to RMA it and got a good one the second time. This is two Gigabyte boards in a row that I've gotten a DOA the first time. This is the reason I stopped using Asus and switched to Gigabyte. I guess it's just a crapshoot these days, since it seems all the motherboard companies don't care about quality assurance anymore.

Pros: Performance blows away my old stock Intel board and I love the amount of BIOS options.

Cons: If you have a thick video card, this can block one of your PCI Express slots. The 2 slots closest to the CPU won't support a full length card because of the memory slots. This leaves just the one slot remaining slot.

Pros: Stable. Works great.

Cons: I would prefer the 4-pin connector for the CPU was in a morre accessible location. I had a hard time getting my fat fingers to it with the large HSF that I use.I am not taking an egg from it because I knew the layout of the board. It's just a gripe of mine about mobo's in general.

Pros: I replaced a GA-965P-DS3 3.3 that I finally killed pushing the MCH voltage too hard. I have always had good luck with Gigabyte boards. I know others have had troubles with some boards, but mine have always performed well. I am not in a position to upgrade to the i3-7's yet, so I wanted a solid LGA775 OC'er for my E6750. Since I didn't need Xfire or SLI for this box, I snagged this board at a good price. It has been rock-solid and stable since I fired it up. One of the things I prefer about Gigabyte boards is their solid state caps. This is a big deal to me since it should result in a longer life for the board. I like to get mileage out of my boards. I definitely recommend this board for an enthusiast on a budget or even as a stock replacement board.

Cons: Only one of the case fan headers is 4-pin, the others are 3-pin. And don't lift the board by the heatsink :). It separates from the motherboard very easily... I had to remove it and replace the thermal paste.

Pros: Lots of adjustability, good manual, good compatibility. Very easy to get Mac OS X running on it. Has RS-232 and parallel port headers.

Cons: DIMM slot 4 not working. tested with MemTest 86+ v2.11Gigabyte tech support not helpful at all. Found MemTest 86+ through forums Also Mobo is very sensitive about the ram you put into it.

Pros: Everything worked except DIMM slot 4. Returned for a new one. The second one worked fine.3 stars because Had to wait 1 week for the new mobo.

Cons: None

Pros: Everything was mostly easy to install into it. My heatsink fan was very large so it made it difficult to install given how cramped it was in there. Not a problem though since I was able to get that and everything else working just fine.

Cons: No FirewireNo eSATA backplate included (comes standard with the UD3R and UD3P).

Pros: Great Overclocking (Q8400 2.66 ghz easy oc'd to 3.2 ghz)Expandability (3 PCIe and 2 PCI)Cheap! $85 for this thing is a steal.Small.

Cons: DDR2

Pros: Fixed instability problems...due to DDR2 1066RAM not having any OC ability. :P

Cons: the install disk is near useless if running W7 x64 (not that they could have anticipated it) so most software/ drivers need to be changed. Windows automatically installed audio drivers that flat out didn't work from the internet, but everything to get it working in a 64-bit environment is available, just might require a bit of work (including EasyTune6).

Pros: My old Asus board died after roughly 2 years. It was cheap and trashy but did it's job I suppose considering the cost. Just upgraded to this board and aside from some annoying W7 x64 hoops I had to jump through (some software and drivers needed to be changed/ updated, but everything important on the board worked) everything works great. I bought this largely for the 4 DIMMs since it was an upgrade of necessity rather than planned and I felt like i needed more RAM to justify it as an 'upgrade'. In any case, it runs like a dream and has a ton of extras compared to boards I've dealt with in the past. Easy overclocking (haven't committed to anything, just tried it out briefly) and dual BIOS at least sounds great, though i hope I never need it. The board structure itself is designed very nicely. I barely had to look when plugging in the chassis cables because everything seems to be in the right spot. Aside from SLI support it has all the connections you (or at least I) could want.

Cons: none

Pros: This board was used in my first build. Im typin gthis review using this board. At first the board went into a loop. Cleared the CMOS and it booted right up thereafter. Nice features and has a flashing utilty. All you need is the file and the software does the rest.

Cons: None

Pros: I bought this to build a cheap overclocker and so far this board is great. I had an Intel e5200 laying around and dropped it in and have it stable at 3.4, low temps and stable with Prime95 for over 24 hours. Not crazy high, but makes this system pretty impressive for what it is needed for. Overclocking on this board is really easy and the dual bios is a great thing to have. Not my first Gigabyte board and definitely not the last.

Cons: Died after a year , hard to set my beer on with all the useless stuff on top, went into the same power loop s others have said

Pros: looks nice started out fine,

Cons: None

Pros: Installed easily, up and running in not time. Updated bios from F7 to F9, board can handle a high oc, got some pc6400 running 8500 speeds easy.

Cons: none so far

Pros: 6 SATA ports, 8 on board USB ports

Cons: I was installing the board by the heatsink (probably not the best idea to hold a mobo there, lesson learned) and one of the notches fell off. I just delicately used my screwdriver to pop the plastic piece back in.

Pros: I picked up this mobo and it installed into win7 with 0 problems, took me 8 minutes to boot, and all the drivers were loaded. It recognized ALL 6gb (2x 2gb 8500 2x 1gb 9200) AND IMMEDIATELY RAN THEM AT THEIR PERFORMANCE SPEED OF 1066MHZ. I think this is rare, but super awesome because I'm not terribly good at overclocking. Oh yeah, it comes with a super easy overclock tool that does literally EXACTLY what you could be doing in the bios. My boot time from button to windows chime is 48 seconds. THIS IS A GOOD MOTHERBOARD I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE ELSE SAYS!!!

Cons: Im havinf the same issue as some others, I cant get it to boot up when I install more than 4 gigs of ram, Im usingCORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF -As soon as I install more than 4, its wont even boot.

Pros: Small board but great locations for Sata PORTS etc etc

Cons: no chip-set fan for the big sexy heat sink...whats up with that gigabyte????

Pros: great cooling the 2 oz copper relay makes a heat difference absolutely LOVE the built on overclock-er for everything in my case

Cons: Long Boot time, Setting up the BIOS takes a while, Very resistant to Macintosh OSX. Doesn't like to have a HDD in the SATA-0 port so start with the SATA-1 port and just use the SATA-0 port for eSata or something of that nature. Wish it had two more USB ports(pins/internal type) on the internal part of the board.

Pros: It seems to function well. If you were to just install Windows 7 OEM it'd be fine and never give you problems but I'm eccentric and use Linux and Hackintosh. Linux Mint loves this board, I don't know about Windows 7 because I haven't reinstalled it yet.

Cons: None

Pros: Very nice board.CheapGreat performance
