Pros: Amazing tempsgreat overclockingunlocked my X3 720great placement and featuresstrong build dual BIOS Cons: none at all and this is the first time i have ever just been happy .......weird Other Thoughts: ..... great for unlocking and overclocking i am running 3.8 currently on my x3 720 and i need my good PSU to hit 4 ghz from Newegg.com Pros: Built a new computer from scratch useing this board 6 mths ago. Best choice I made. Paired it w/ AMD Phenom X4 processor which works GREAT. from Newegg.com Cons: Can't get the extra 2 SATA's to work. Not sure W T F's going on there. Haven't contacted Gigabyte yet. I plugged the external SATA bracket into normal SATAs and it works fine. from Newegg.com Seems very well built and sturdy. Cons: The holes on the side with the 24 pin power connector do not line up with the standoff's, just like everyone else said. What is up with this gigabyte? I don't get it. from Newegg.com Pros: LOVE LOVE LOVE this mobo.... Never better. In my opinion I have part 2 of this mobo with Intel and love it way better this way with my AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Cons: None Other Thoughts: may by the next step, but not sure yet. Still love this one. from Newegg.com Pros: High quality heavy duty boardelectrical plug-in's laid out wellsupport for crossfire ATI cardsvery user friendly biosgood labeling and colors on board help to easily id correct plug-in's Cons: None Other Thoughts: This is my first build, it all went together easily in a evening with the help of this boards excellent instruction book. I highly recommend this board for anyone thinking of building there first PC, Just make sure to order the correct ram etc by checking the specifications tab. My budget build was about $600. from Newegg.com Pros: Very nice board. I was a little hesitant to go away from ASUS and MSI for this build, but it was the only 790x chipset that had the feature set that I needed and that would support the AMD Phenom X4 II 940 Socket AM2+ that I had previously purchased. I'm blown away with how everything just works. from Newegg.com Cons: very high on shorting out on the first month of ownership. tryed to rma the nobo and tryed to get anouther they didnt do any thing. this is a third month waiting a month to hear any thing frome them tryed to call or get an anser from gigabyte got a cold sholder this is a third month of nothing wth. i thsught all companys products that were sold here were profecinal. from Newegg.com Pros: Excellent build quality; booted right up with no pre-config required; well arranged; plenty of expansion space; easily overclocked AMD X3 720 to 3.6 GHz (more possible) and unlocked 4th core (via ACC) effortlessly. Cons: Not free from Newegg.com Pros: Heat pipes and heatsinks give this motherboard a quality look and feel. The motherboard is heavier that most as a result of the added copper. There are considerable amount of options ranging from the novice to the gamer to the overclocker - Giga-byte covers this very well with this board. The onboard sound is of very good quality. from Newegg.com
