Rapid Board. Very good Cost. Gigabyte has a great reputation but this mobo has some style troubles with the chipset heatsink. A lot of varied BSOD's only with all four memory slots filled with same exact sort and size memory. four - 4G - G-Talent Ripjaw ddr3 - 1333. I have four sets of identical memory and any 2 will perform in any two identical colored slots. As soon as I fill all 4 slots with any of 8 unique identical sticks I have on hand the BSOD's start appearing. This particular board has a memory challenge I can't pin down. Chipset heat sink wobbly - doesn't make very good contact across surface of chipset for suitable heat disipation. I want aid from Gigabyte or NewEgg with this memory difficulty.

I've utilized gigabye boards before, a lot of them, this is just the initial 1 I identified lacking huge time! Please reconsider this board over other gigabyte boards or go with yet another brand in the same flavor. I got the steady beep proper from jump street! Almost everything booted just fine and downloaded drivers just fine, but would take three-five min's to post(first attempt with a single challenging drive and each and every reboot there following). I tried a different psu,500w in location of a 430w, 1 stick ram, and nonetheless this silly beep won't go away. I wanted a raid sata 6gb/s rig, but no matter what I do when installing the os, the motherboard states that I require cd drivers. Will set up all day lengthy with a single hard drive, but won't with a raid setup with out the prompt to load cd drivers. I ordered a different board and will put this on the shelf until gigabyte can clarify it. The only cause I won't rma it with newegg is mainly because it's a classic junky board and I'm not paying shipping just to raise the cost of this junk and taking the opportunity on acquiring a lot more junk in return. I wanted a board with the 850 sb chipset, but this failed. I'll go back to the trusty 710 till this can get worked out. I've put way to a lot time into this board to go any additional. It even unlocked a 555BE.....once, only after. Like I stated this point will operate fine with 1 sata 3 challenging drive, not two set up as raid0. Entirely sad about this board, but the tears will dry up someday, I can only hope soon! Sound goofy? Hee, I'm truly not emo, but this board can certainly turn me into 1 if I don't stroll away from it now!This junkAmd 555BeWD black 1tb 6gb/s(yes, ask WD, these are raid capable for desktops, so don't even go there!)ATI 5670some random lil ole dvd/cd burner thing.OCZ 500w psu (modular)Win7 pro 64bitGskill ripjaws ddr3 1333 2x2gig wǝ timing.....they function!Coolermasta case with an further front fan added.I splurged on a board for my bedroom create, this let me down. Should of just stayed with the attempted and correct 710 SB board alternatively. Oh effectively, live and learn. Operating with gigabyte on-line help, at least they answered my e-mail, gotta hand it to them for that.

This board for the cost had the greatest function set on the industry. But.. if your preparing on more than clocking this board dont bother. It is rock solid on a six 1090T but O'Clocking this board is not an selection. Iv completed it upto four.1 with post and wonderful temps but the ram has concerns at this speed. at standard speeds it works fantastic and is rock solid. This board is the very best iv located on the market place with the functions it has for the price. If you dont want to over clock you method and run at default speed this is the board for you. I have built 4 now with this board and only had to rma 1 of them due to a negative heat sink but it occurs with any purchace. Only purpose for four stars is the fact that they fake the oc for the ram to do higher then the 1333.

Posted 1st attempt . Functions as advertised . Appears very good . Recognised my 970 BE Before updating to F4 Bios even though not officially supported until F4 . More sata ports than the other (non-AMD) guys for similar $$ (or even far more , for that matter) Requirements a MOSFET heatsink . Overclock or not , if you want a board to last , get heat away . Enzotech MST-88 C1100 is a perfect match , but Gigabyte need to have incorporated 1 with a board that supports 125W cpus .Note to Newegg ... order a bunch additional MST-88's . Anyone acquiring this board will eventually get 1 of those and you're constantly out of stock . :( Anyone else only obtaining �MHz hyperthreading out of 970BE alternatively of 4000MHz advertised ????

Lots of connections - additional than I want now, but reassuring for the future. Fast SATA and USB, once again, reassuring for the future. Unlocked my Athlon II x 3 to a 4 core - extremely straightforward to do. It's a three.two GHz x three 450, also a good CPU at ๛. Each from NE. Steady at four cores. Can't think of any. Bargain computer, incredibly quickly and stable. No L3 cache, but I don't miss it.

Possibly excessive lol, but I really should under no circumstances run out now. My old board had 4 total.No onboard video. none. Ability to update bios in windows is awesome.

I like the variable of ports avaiable. I like the usb three., SATA II or SATA six.No loose northbridge or south bridge.Runs cool - i think Where to start off ...When I very first got the board, I was fairly excited about it. The general good quality was fine. On the other hand, when I got every thing hooked up. The technique requires about forever to POST. When i press the reset button, often it just wont POST at all. I ran ubuntu as OS and the OS freezes on me at times (This could be a application situation). I spent 10 dollars for shipping for RMA.I got my second board. Every thing is excellent. System posts fast, bios was good. Till I put my Sienhennser Headphone into the front audio port. The problem is ... there was static sound from the left (not continual, only from time to time) and there had been seriously higher pitch random noises as nicely. Also, audio is distorted at occasions as properly. This was extremely noticeable with a headphone (my headphone performs properly, I checked). I reinstalled the latest HD realtek driver, but the problem persists. I am debating whether or not I should RMA this to gigabyte or not due to the fact It is Incredibly annoying when you listen music due to the fact the the occasion ran out of space in "cons" distortion requires the pleasure out of listening to excellent music. General, driver was not the dilemma; my headphone is perfectly fine (confirmed on my ipod); audio chip is terrible.On a side note, Straightforward Tune six won't run on windows 7. I do not know why. It's installed, but when I double click to run the application .... nothing happens; i see no windows popping up. (maybe it runs in the background? but how do I "tune" items then?)I am very disappointed correct now considering that newegg RMA date variety has passed and gigabyte will take weeks. I actually want to use my program suitable now!FYI my construct: Phenom II 1075T This motherboard -____-Green CaviarDiamond HD 5850Antec Green 430W Lancool dragonlord 62

The package was colorful. Gigabyte, welcome to my "Never purchase from again" list. The 1st board lasted about three hours before it started to fail in a variety of, random techniques. Which implies hours problems shooting all your components and set up. The second board was type enough to not even post, at least that way you know its the board and not some other element. Bought an ASUS board, plugged anything in and was cooking with fire proper away. BTW tech assistance from Gigabyte is by means of e mail.

Nice Attributes(Specifications),Low Price... 2 ounce copper employed on the board. This Board Has several knocks about the lack of cooling..In my case the Infamous North bridge temperature ..This seems to be a typical issue in modern day Motherboards and in this MB, distinct consideration is necessary. It demands either air blowing on it directly and or producing certain the Heat sink is tight/flat against the chip..Numerous also incorporated reapplying new TIM.. The FET's also have a tendency to get warm on my unit(approx 55C).Some have integrated a FET Heat Sink.My drop of a single Egg is simply because GigaByte should have paid much more attention to the cooling aspect..(in my opinion) Not all instability and or boot challenges can be laid on the doorstep of this Mother Board..AMD it's self need to share some of the blame( in my opinion).The Phenom 2 series of processors/chipsets are quite extremely picky about memory and memory clock speeds and brands..You need to study the specifications meticulously and if you clock more than the default 1333Mhz, it is regarded as more than clocking..Numerous have and got away with it, many did not.All in all not a bad board and with the heavy 2oz copper appears steady after attention is offered to the numerous above points..If you throw it with each other and have definitely no difficulties,you are a lucky person,and I need to get together with you for some Lottery numbers..

Does every little thing it must except for audio problem with first board listed below. BIOS simple to edit. Good MB for Linux. Knocked off 1 egg due to the fact the very first board had a comprehensive audio failure following about 50 days. Luckily when I purchased it there was a 60 day return policy and, of course, New Egg came through. Audio failure was confined to the audio module which is not manufactured by Gigabyte, and it did function OK for 50 days so they couldn't have recognized it would fail. Second board has been in service for about 2 weeks now, I hope it doesn't have a comparable challenge.

future-proofed with all the 3s. Auto fan control with three-pin fans. Lots of manage in BIOS. Posted initial time. Simply overclocks. Optical audio. not triple channel memory. can only do 1866mhz+ memory in single channel mode. None of the 64bit RAID drivers are recognized by the windows 7 install disc. While, the 32bit GRAID drivers got me via phase 2 of OS set up. Had to get rid of plastic around cpu to fit my cpu cooler. SATA ports are directly below 2nd video card slot. happy overall when upgraded from an intel core2 duo program.

Lots of helpful selections offered. I specifically like the RAID configuration and the many USB ports readily available. Plus, my prior Gigabyte boards have been rock solid. This is the replacement for the very first GA-870A-UDE board that delivered with a challenge with the PCI-X that caused Flash video to crash when displaying complete screen, and an Ethernet channel that quit. The new one worked fine for a couple of weeks. Then the Ethernet chip failed. Now I notice that Flash video is failing in the similar way. So now I'm back exactly where I started.Yet another 3 weeks to a month will be wasted waiting for my motherboard to get back to NewEgg and a new a single to get shipped back. Sure wish I had far more self-confidence that it would operate correct. I have built up 5 or 6 systems before and this is the initially time I have had a challenge with the CPU or the motherboard. There must be a point when the standard return policy ought to be changed. two-three week turnaround is reasonable, but not when you have multiple failures.I only ran these technique in the regular, non-overclocked configuration but my CPU was a hot one, a Phenom II X4 970 BE. This must have been properly inside the capability of a board designed with numerous overclocking possibilities. Manufacturer Response:Dear Client,Thank you for your comments.

I couldn't pass this up for the worth. I compared other, higher end chipsets, but you get so considerably for a lower value! Gigabyte is rock-strong in my encounter, and being an Asus fan 9ቦ times I took a chance. You just can't argue when you get so substantially for so tiny! Has a decent rep for OCing, which I can't vouch for...yet! Sure, there are far better chipsets out there. Value, value, value. I didn't feel like I was sacrificing going for the greater worth, make no mistake: This is nevertheless a gaming motherboard!

Have built 3 systems that are almost a year old. Never ever had any concerns. Computers run for months without ever freezing, or blue screens. I'm working with kingston memory, ATI graphics. I've attempted various brands, but their often appears to be some difficulties with them.

Has a lot of the newest of every little thing built in . None that I have located so far with one particular exception beneath . The ONLY problem I have had with this card was receiving Windows 7 Ultimate 74 bit to install onto a RAID array of SATA disks . It took me 3 days of looking on the web to lastly discover a solution . The drivers sent on the disk WILL NOT operate to get Windows 7 onto a RAID array , you will HAVE to download new drivers off the internet initially . The raid Cannot be in RAID five mode if you only have two drives installed ( which really should be a no brainer to turn that setting off , but ... uh yeah ) Other than taking 2 days to get Windows installed on a RAID array , this board is rocking !

Good create top quality, fantastic layout, easy bios, excellent value. I am really content with my acquire, I would and have encouraged this board to close friends seeking to make mid range AM3 systems. Only 1 x16 slot so its a single GPU motherboard with out query. Also, bios post takes a small longer than id get in touch with snappy, almost 24 seconds from cold boot. Windows 7 boot time is 21 seconds lol The 1st a single I had, was defective in a way I had under no circumstances observed before. The IO controller was dieing when I received it, right after 1 week it died. The tough drive would be come unbootable after specific file compose and read sizes. Super crazy troubles, but soon after obtaining a new board its been operating excellent for months.Took my 955BE C3 to 4ghz @ 1.5v totally stable, I also bought an enzotech MTS-88 for the MOSFET that are with out a heat sink. (To the left of the CPU socket) That heat sink is (practically) built for this board, it clips ideal on and works like a charm.

This is a wonderful basic board future proof with usb three., and SATA 3 connections. Bios is fairly well laid out. I have build two computer systems utilizing this board and AMD Phenom 555 Dual Core Black Edition three.2Ghz CPU. The very first board was good installation was best up and running in no time. Only issue i faced was in the second board, when i restarted it following installation, it would go in a continous restarting loop. I Googled resolution to this difficulty and individuals stated that energy supply was poor, memory was poor and so on and so forth. I altered power supplies and memory also similar difficulty. Then it clicked to me that i did not update the BIOS, and dam it fixed the issue, so PLEASE save your self a head ache and update the bios following installation. Also if u are employing an aftermarket cooler such as Thermaltake Blue Orb II, U WILL NOT BE Capable TO USE the first two memory slots as it will take that significantly space, specifically if u are making use of ram sticks with big heatspreader like GSKILL ripjaws. For some reason I assume this is not a total atx board. How do you unlock the rest of the processor cores in this board?

Very reasonably priced board.Created by Gigabyte, sexy blue PCB.USB 3. and assistance for unlocking my added two CPU cores.Lots of USB and eSATA ports. No speaker or LED for troubleshooting. Had a couple of troubles with one more component that was complicated to troubleshoot till I found a spare motherboard speaker. I guess I'm spoiled by the diagnostic LEDs on enthusiast boards.Also no on-board reset/power switches and the CMOS reset is an old-school jumper.I would like these factors, but I don't necessarily anticipate them on a ~贄 board.
