Pros: I've been doing business with Newegg for over 10 years and it's always a pleasure. Cons: Board died (SATA controller failed) after 34 days so no RMA through Newegg. RMA through Gigabyte, including shipping time, took about 1 month. All inquiries regarding status of the RMA were answered with generic, non-specific rhetoric. from Newegg.com Cons: Building a new computer. This motherboard did not output a video signal. GIGABYTE TECHNICAL SUPPORT:Hello,Please disconnect all components from the board except for the cpu along with heatsinkfan, do make sure that you have your case speaker connected to the board and listen for any types of post beeps. If none please check your processor and attempt to test it elsewhere or with an functional processor onto this board. from Newegg.com Pros: Has two 4-pin PWM fan headers (CPU and CHASSIS) plus two standard 3-pin fan headers both controllable with speedfan. Lots of extra USB headers. Good layout. Had room for large CPU heatsink. from Newegg.com Pros: everything else. Cons: side port memory produces alot of artifacts.i didnt notice till i was beyond my 30 day replacement time. Other Thoughts: gigabyte should send me a video card to correct this. from Newegg.com Pros: Worked great when I had it, aside from mild audio and video issues. Updgraded to new bios to hopefully fix problems, but only found them worse, so I went back to the original bios. Cons: Died on me one month and five days after purchasing, so no chance to RMA through Newegg, have to go through Gigabyte warranty. Fed up, replacing motherboard, then selling it for something else. from Newegg.com 5. IGP works really good on both Vista 64bit and Windows 7 32bit. I don't game on my PC so can't comment on it's gaming capabilities. Runs AERO interface with ease. from Amazon.com Runs AERO interface with ease. Gets a 4.6 rating for AERO and 5.4 for gaming graphics on Windows 7. You HAVE to install the driver included on the CD or download the one from Gigabyte's website. Right now I'm running the drivers from the CD and EVERYTHING works flawlessly. from Amazon.com Pros: I've been doing business with Newegg for over 10 years and it's always a pleasure. Cons: Board died (SATA controller failed) after 34 days so no RMA through Newegg. RMA through Gigabyte, including shipping time, took about 1 month. All inquiries regarding status of the RMA were answered with generic, non-specific rhetoric. from Newegg.com Pros: Do not Know Cons: Well it was Doa from Newegg.com Pros: Good motherboard features. Cons: Building a new computer. from Newegg.com
