Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

I am speechless on how good this product is. Great motherboard, easy install and setup. Works with both windows and is hackintoshible. Works perfectly for setting up a nice gaming/oculus compliant system cost effectively.

Goody goody. The board features are great. Board handles an oc quite well.

As of now my 4670k gets to 70 celsius @ max with f@h (which heats up your cpu more than anything). G ghz processor to 3. Ghz without hesitation :), only issue i found if you are using win 7 ultimate 64bits, is that the gigabyte software that comes wit... Read More

Happily suprised by the red light around the audio chip as well as the easy to read and color coded labels for all the plugs. Good port/plug placement. Additional cpu opt fan header. Matching neon lighting in my wife's case so bonus!

On board power, reset and cmos clear * are a plus. The bios is extremely functional and easy on the eyes. Needed a bios update to dual boot reliably in linux/windows.

Cons

Paid out-of-pocket and sent the motherboard in for free warranty.

No power at the button. Still no power. Works fine, but if i go idle for long enough (1 hour+) then i come back to a non-responding computer.

Without drivers, it only supports some odd selection of keyboards and mice. Ethernet dosnt work either without downloading a driver from gigabyte. With no overclocking, it still seems to be extremely slow.

Quality

Integrated graphics are great, makes it super easy to get it up and running quick without having a ton of drivers to initially install.

Nice feature set, installation and setup was a breeze and it's worked flawlessly ever since.

I got a board from asus a month ago and the cpu socket was non responsive.

So let's start off by saying that i used this motherboard in the building of my very first pc, but when trying to connect my et... Read More

Price

I paid $80 for this mobo refurbished.

It is a really good card for the price.

I am shocked at the price now as i am getting ready to upgrade mobo and cpu this year.

Shipping

Delivery was prompt and the board works as advertised.

Got here on time and in perfect condition.

Competitiveness

It was easy to work with has more usb ports than most other boards i've found at this price and i didn't have to order it a second time.
