Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard, Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Processor, & Corsair Dominator Dual Channel 4GB PC8500 DDR2 Memory Bundle

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Got this board in a bundled package. Initially looked good, went together fine and ran reasonably well for just under 90 days. Sins then, Blue screens and crashes. Gigabytes customer service and Tech support are non responcive. would not suggest this product or manufacturer to anyone.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard This is my fourth build this year and decided this would be a good board for a mid range computer. It has been nothing but trouble. As of tonight I still haven't got a reply from the company it's been 10 days of attempting to contact them. It should pull it from this website. As of now it's not going to be ready for Christmas.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU great benchmarks right out of the box can't wait to overclock it.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU oh yes, 1ntel may boast processors with more speed, but 1ntel will never boast as reasonable price! i am an amd convert. this is absolutely the fastest cpu i have had to date, and for around 200 - 225? - yes there is a god and he is obviously into computers! do yourselves a favor- go ahead and upgrade to ddr3 ram with this one, you will be eternally indebted to your selves f

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Runs at 3.4 as advertised very easy to overclock at 4ghz if you get good air cooling I'll try to upgrade my system to liquid cooling and see how much I can overclock it

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Had the system up in 4 hrs. It worked as hoped. Haven't had a chance to use the video card. Video on board workes just fine for now.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Blue screen, blue screen, blue screen..... For the price, a very decent board, feature loaded..... The BIOS features (SATA management) needs a bit of work. Not for beginners to install...... Just try to look for another one!

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Received it after a week, hooked it up and booted first time. Had no problem running 64-bit windows 7 and the on-board video makes movies look great on my flat-screen. Not for gaming, but with the pci-e 2.0 pop in a stand alone video card and you got yourself a pretty good platform for a HTPC or Gaming rig.

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Great price, super features. My main complaint is that SATA connectors are flimsily attached and break off easily. If you're running 64-bit don't use the installation CD until you've downloaded the AMD 64-bit drivers from the Gigabyte web site, otherwise you'll have problems with drivers like I did.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard I bought this board about 2 months ago and I have been so impressed! I started with 2 gigs of RAM and eventually will go up to 8 gigs. With on-board HDMI it was simple to connect my big screen to my machine. This was a great deal!

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Great board, just my processor died after a few hours

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Would not boot,after many try's i have to return mother board

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard I bought this as part of barebones kit, installed it, ran great for 2 weeks. Then, suddenly, it just turned off and has refused to do anything since. I am currently in the process of trying to get a new one, but 2 weeks after filling out their RMA form, still haven't heard back. Would not buy this again.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard First time building a comp from scratch, and this board was really easy to use and set up very nicely.

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Returned! Would not boot,even after 3 tries with 3 different power supplies. Video would not initialize was one fault plus some other assorted error beeps. Was somewhat surprised as this same board is featured some in complete units offered.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU Great processor, accepts a good overclock and an even better one if you change the fan. Ive put this processor through everything and it just performs. Great buy for the money. No regrets

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard I have bought numerous bare bone computers from Tigerdirect, but this is flawed. Tower doesn't come with cooling fans, mobo doesn't come with standups. Would have been nice to recommend this as they did with the cpu fan. After purchasing these, I spent more and got less!!!

Comment:
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU This cpu will work at 3.40 out of the box. Have not overclocked it yet. Hope for the best.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard I purchased this board with Athlon II X2 240 CPU and it's a great deal as long as you're satisfied with the capabilities of this board. Lots of features but only two PCI slots, but that shouldn't be much of a problem if you go in with your eyes open. But, this board did not play nice with two (different brands) USB 802.11n wireless adaptors; in fact one just blew away the USB bus and I had to reload Windows 7. I ended up using a PCI 802.11g board until I can get a n-board. All-in-all not top of the line, but a great value for the price.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Now that I've installed this economical MOBO, I'm satisfied it does minimum required. HTPC box for the 42 inch LCD TV in the livingroom. No Games.

AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Quad Core CPU I have been very amazed with the quality of this product vs. our Intel processors. AMD is starting to pose as a threat to us. Nevertheless this product is very High quality.

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Motherboard had to be replaced because it wouldn't boot, didn't give any error beeps. Replacement also does not work, will be trying again.

Comment:
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Motherboard Sorry, but I can't rave about this one. Gygabite makes awesome boards, but this one is too cheap and I should no better. I build systems for a living and I like to use slots for alternative devices like Video, Sound, and other quality products. As a rule, Video and Sound take up power from the mainboard and they are not always the best quality. I reduce the stress on the main board to allow it to function faster. Slot cards may pull current, but the components on these cards usually boost performance, run cooler, and last a lifetime. NOT ENOUGH slots on this board.

Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H MotherboardWorks perfectly. Maybe some manual improvements would be better, also 1 extra PCIe x 16 to use crossfire, but anyway is a very good mobo.
