A Closer Look:
Notes:
- Due to Windows 32-bit operating system limitation, when more than 4 GB of physical memory is installed, the actual memory size displayed will be less than 4 GB.
- To support a DDR3 1866 MHz (and above) memory, you must install an AMD AM3+ CPU first.
- For optimum performance, if only one PCI Express graphics card is to be installed, be sure to install it in the PCIEX16_1 slot; if you are installing two PCI Express graphics cards, it is recommended that you install them in the PCIEX16_1 and PCIEX16_2 slots.
- Whether the CPU/system fan speed control function is supported will depend on the CPU/system cooler you install.
- Available functions in EasyTune may differ by motherboard model.

Haven't fired it up yet.
I just want to say that I bought this mother board about 1 month ago, but haven't fired it up yet. It looks nice, and I've heard good things about Gigabyte boards, so I hope it will perform well. As for lack of PCI express 3.0 slots... NO north bridge chipset, Intel or AMD, supports PCI X 3.0, only the PCI X 2.0; I've done the research; so don't expect much of a gain in graphics performance despite having a graphics card with PCI X 3.0; no big deal there. I'll revise my review when I have the board installed and running.

First Build
Build this with amd fx8350 with 8gb of ran and it runs like a monster. It is really fast and i am glad for purchasing it. The on board sound is not that good and makes some weird noises but not really a problem. if it is a problem for u, u can just get a $20 add in audio card and it will be a perfect mobo.

No Problems on first startup
This was my second complete computer build. I used a FX-8350 CPU along with this motherboard. I was a little disappointed that the PCI-E plug was 2.0 not 3.0 (no AMD Mobo had it), but I found an inexpensive GTX-570 card (2.0)to use as the graphics card. I am glad I did. The entire computer started up without a problem after the build and thoroughly checking out all connections. The frame rate made a dramatic increase over my old computer during gaming. There is software that came with the motherboard to overclock the CPU, but I don't really need to use it. It is fast with all of my games (Battlefield, Planetside2, Warcraft). I think I saved a lot of money going the AMD route.

Joys of RMAs
Bought this mb because of the reviews. Thought it would work nicely with the AMD FX-8350. Got everything installed including H100 cooler and GTX 460 video card. New install of win7 and then tried to connect to internet. Long story short, the lan port was not functional, doesnt have MAC address. Worked with Gigabyte tech over a week(all done with email) and after everything including flashing the bios still no lan port. Computer is not much good if you can't connect. Should have gone with the Asus first. My mistake. Now I get to go thru RMA process, wonderful.
