I find it sad that the consumer has to think this way to assure a good product as a present for someone.

Knowing that this motherboard was prone to issues, just read other reviews of this board (I have seen issues with this board over in TomsHardware forums where I'm a regular so I knew I was buying a problematic board), I ordered it just before December to rebuild my kids PC to give time to get a bad one in and ship it back and be able to get one sent back to me to have it before Christmas for her present. This is not Newegg's fault but is a quality issue with Gigabyte.

There was no 2 ways about it the board arrived dead.

(New and ordered at the same time G.Skill Ripjaws X, F3-14900CL9D-8GBXL) The PSU is known good but tested the board with a different PSU to be sure. The ram was tested in my system and was proven to be stable. The CPU, a FX 6120, is known good because I had it in my gaming rig before upgrading to a FX 8350 for myself. I tried 3 known good GPU's in it with the same error, 1x BFG Nvidia 9800GTX+ (yes it is still kicking and doing good), 1x Saphire Radeon 4870 (yes this one too is still kicking and doing well) and finally took one of the GPU's out of my gaming rig a Asus R9 280 CUII top edition and all had the same issue.

Overall Review: DOA issue: After receiving the first board I built the system and the trouble code indicated issues with the GPU. Being a mechanic I had one handy but come on Gigabyte, think about placement of these things. I needed to use an 18" long screwdriver to mount this screw because of the top edge of the case would be in the way of a standard length screw driver's handle and the ram lock tab issue making for a bad angle at the head of the screw. Case is an older Antec 902 that I gave to my youngest kid for a case. The mounting hole for the upper right hand mount is located so close to the ram locking tabs that I had difficulties getting that screw in. The first one crackled as I took it out of the anti-static bag it was shipped in, definitely does not give the impression of quality. This is a very thin board so you must handle with kid gloves on to not hurt the board by just moving it. (That is a receiver BTW.) In my case this is not needed as I have a Creative sound card so this did not affect me but will other people. Only supports 5.1 and 7.1 surround sound through the optical out port which forces the need for other equipment. This causes great concern with there ability to be able to sufficiently cool the components. The heat sinks on both the VRM and North Bridge are lightly mounted with springs and move very readily. (this issue will be covered in the optional comments section. Has plenty of legacy support for the PCI interface, which affects me because I use 2 PCI devices, 1 sound card and 1 wireless adapter.Ĭons: -First one came in DOA, this is part of the reason for the 2 egg rating. Backwards compatible with the Athlon II and Phenom II model CPU's, since I still have an Athlon II 640 and a Phenom II 965 BE CPU as spares, But able to handle the FX 6120 I picked up for $20 USD off my oldest kid to give to my youngest.
