Too good to be true...

Bought this as a Birthday gift back in April. Worked fine for a while but now it's all but worthless. Unable to maintain a Windows installation, now I have to RMA the board for a second time and lose my computer for several weeks. Worst choice I've ever made for hardware.

If you appreciate getting there now, this is for U

I have no problemas and it is so fast I only run the computer now when I want to do something. Leaving it on because it takes so long to boot is a thing of the past. Less than a minute and that is fast enuf for me.

Solid Motherboard

Motherboard is very solid, and reliable. No issues. For business applications the on-board video (via HDMI) works well enough, but only provides for a single monitor. Because I have multiple monitors, I added a Graphics card. The additional PCI express slot is also a nice feature. However, I rated the motherboard features, as a 4, because the back panel should have included an eSata connection and on board USB3 to allow internal and front panel USB3 connections. Requiring the purchase of additional USB3 PCI x1 card and eSata brackets.

Replaced with another brand within the week

This motherboard has great specs. My friend got one a week before I did, it worked perfectly. When mine arrived, I setup everything, but PC started to boot loop even before the BIOS screen. Contacted Support, tried their suggestions without luck, and returned the board. My new board (another brand) worked without any problems.

Great Mobo

Overall this mobo is great. It has the wide variety of ports on the back allowing for the use of a huge variety of devices. The User Manual states that it should have come with 4 SATA cables, but only came with 2. I checked other Gigabyte mobo's, all their manuals say they come with 4 but only come with two. Don't really get that, but that doesn't affect the quality of the mobo itself.
