Review: Gigabyte - Solid Again! Great MB For my AM3+ FX Chip - I have 4 custom built PCs and 6 PCs total. With that said. I have two AMD Systems, and while I elect to use ASUS for Intel, I have found Gigabyte is my brand for AMD. I bought this Motherboard with the intention of having an easy time getting a sixcore 3.3ghz FX Chip up and running, and I did. The board has loads of features, great slot selection, it has 3 PCIe slots (x16) and works with a Nvidia GeForce GTS 460 I am using (and also another card in another slot, an ATI FirePro 4800) and has a PCIE USB3 (extra 2 port) card in it, running great. Used an 850w Power Supply, which seemed ample and the motherboard has a good standard bios (its not UEFI for you UEFI fans out there) but it is a standard old Award Bios. One thing I noticed is with win7 ultimate there is no sleep mode setting for the PC obvious but you can still set one if you want to (I do not but I notice these things and report them). If this MB is as reliable as my 880FX Gigabyte or numerous other Gigabyte boards in the past have been (I Been using Gigabyte since before they had US website, in other words when gigabyte.com.tw was the only one out there - yeah about 15 years) and they always come true for me with AMD. I have only built two intel based machines in the last 15 years (AMD is usually my preference but I went with two lga 2011 3960Xtreme's as AMD cannot compete with it) as I had the cash. Interesting facts is this scores well on benchmarks (the FX chip) against my 3960X's at 1/4 the price. This motherboard looks like yet another winner by Gigabyte (I have never had a Gigabyte board fail, or be DOA on me. I can't say that for ASUS) in general the computers get older than they are worth to still use before a problem with their boards pops up. I recommend this board to anyone who wants good slot diversity for expansion, good compatibility with diverse video, and wants to run an FX Chip on an AM3+. Very satisfied with the purchase, and Gigabyte as a motherboard make overall.
Review: Good board but with very little cables - Great board and it is solid. Just powered it up and running a 1100t BE. Pros: it's simple easy to install great looking board. All black and it is Gigabyte. Comes with los of USB 2.0, 3.0 and eSata ports. It is also Duel bios ready to. If you mess up your bios it will boot in the second bios chip and reload the first bios chip. Nice redundancy that Gigabyte put in. It comes with some cool software to over clock your CPU from your Windows OS. Cons: Was not very happy to just only receive a SLI bride, Triple SLI Bridge, and 4 ATA cables and that's it. I was very disappointed. I didn't even get any screws for this Bored. Lucky my previous XFX board had tons of stuff that it came with. I hate to write all of these cons on a new board that I have not even spent much time on. Also the PCIe 1.0 Slot is crammed in with the Northbridge chipset heat sink. So if you are planning on putting something in there you might want to consider that. FYI. UD3 UD5 and UD7 Gigabyte boards stand for how many SLI slots there are.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product
*by L***R on September 28, 2011*

I have gotten this product on september 21, 2011. I was soo happy when it came and I wasn't disappointed when best buy installed it for me on the same day. Soo happy... I wish I knew that there is a better product when I brought this motherboard. I didn't know that the Gigabyte UD7 is out then I would have gotten it. However, this product is working fine, and no issues. Bestbuy said everything is working fine and the only thing I need now is a power supply because both power supplies that were brought from circuit city were defective and had to be returned, so my defective product should be recieved by Amazon around october 7-10, 2011 and then I can get my refund so that, I can get me a power supply with a 2 year replacement plan from overstock. Then, I can put my power supply ordeal behind me and will be able to use this motherboard for the first time in my new pc. I purchased an Asus M5 motherboard from circuit city, and bestbuy told me on september 7, 2011 that the motherboard is defective and I needed to replace it, so, I got this motherboard to replace it, because of the reviews that were read about the Asus Motherboards and how they were fuzzy about ram installation, and what type of ram that is purchased, may not be able to work on an Asus Motherboard. I got this motherboard on September 20, 2011 so that bestbuy can install it, and they did, I also had to replace my power supply and it turned out my power supply was defective too, so now I have to wait until about October 11-14, 2011 to use my refund and get my power supply because it takes much longer to get refunds in a credit union than in any other bank. What will take one day inside a Bank of America will take two at a credit union. So that is where I am now, I am waiting for my refund to purchase my power supply to finally get to use my custom pc that has been created from scratch. It has been about a month since I send my parts over to bestbuy to install all my parts inside an empty coolermaster chassis. It is about time for me to use my new highly advanced desktop pc to enjoy better gaming and media performances, and this motherboard has what I need to do so. It is not the best because I didn't know that the UD7 is out but I will not complaint because I just want to use my new computer.
