Very decent budget board

Bought this board for a Phenom II rig I was planning to build back in January 2016, it is now March 2017 and is still working without a hitch. SATA ports can be a bit flimsy, bent a couple of them while building, but still a solid board for the price
(haven't tried overclocking yet, will try it once I get an FX CPU [preferably a 6350])

Happy with this board so far. Quite stable, good drivers.

Using this motherboard for a super encoding computer. I didn't need a strong graphic card for this and had issue with 2 graphic cards in pci-e x8 v1 and v2. Somtimes it was booting, and sometimes not. Very hard to pinpoint the issue, I had to call the supermicro support. The motherboard apparently only fully accept the recent graphic cards in pci-e x8 v3. So be careful with this.

Also note that this board when booting makes many bips, one for each installed  cards or hardware linked to it (it is not said in the documentation, and I thought it was bios bips signaling errors... But no, those bips are not boot system errors.

The only one bip telling that everything is in order makes its noise when windows is loading only, so a long time after.

Note that you have different version of this motherboard. Some coming with additional feature such as 2 different Sata Controlers. Mine only came with one. But it's fine.

For higher speed i suggest to use a separate Raid Card. A model fully compatible is the LSI 9270 8i. Using this will allow you to hardware raid your configuration, and will save some CPU use. I didn't use the integrated intel raid manager, but it's only software so I don't really recommand is.

i think that this is a great board for the price. I think spending 16 dollars for a beginner is not bad at all.  Looking for ward to trying it with my 10 year old nephew

Nicely designed motherboard. Had a few issue with USB issue but was able to figure most of it out. Still a good board as it recognizes all my hardware with no issues. As long as you don't have many USB devices install you will be fine.

This is a great little board for 45 dollars. I bought another gigabyte board for almost twice the price first and it was defective. I bought this one to replace it and it worked great right out of the box.

There is only one PCI slot and only one PCIe also, so that's not many and it also doesn't have many hookups for fans (I think only 1 CPU fan and 1 case fan).

Installing and plugging everything was really easy and I had this installed and up and running in under 1 hour.
I would buy again. especilly for under 50 bucks

I bought this for a budget build for my mom. Plenty of room for big components, plenty of expansion slots etc etc. Some of the holes are missing to mount motherboards, and front panel wires are very short. Comes with everything needed.

Good board for very little money. No issues on 2500k build, 16GB RAM, Noctua D4 heatsink, and SSD (not M.2, haven't tried that yet). I can't see why anyone would justify spending $200 + on a more expensive board. Software also makes it easy to OC, and boot in under 15 seconds from complete shutdown.

Great looking board, No problems setting it up both mechanically and with the BIOS.
Plenty of SATA connections(8).
Have had this board over 4 months.
Using this board with a A10-5800K processor, 4 WD VelociRaptor 250 GB drives in RAID 10, 32 GB of corsair memory with Windows 8 Pro OS.
My tech skill level is average.
This board was my second build.

Great keyboard so far, solid construction, not very noisy, still some key sounds but compared to the "clicky" boards this is great. I don't use the macros and sometimes I end up hitting them instead of the control button and it messes up somethings when I am writing papers but it is easy to just undo the mess up. Overall great board for a decent price, I am pretty happy with this purchase.

Cool board for a price you can't beat, bearings are no good, and will also need some risers sweet board

Great board for the money. Way better than the crap they sell at department stores.

I love this board! I had a cheap one, but having one that looks nice is completely worth the price!

Perfect for my needs. Great price point and features. I have this paired with an i5 4590S in a desktop/HTPC build. Has just the right amount of SATA and USB3 ports for my needs. If you are looking for a simple, functional board with the bonus addition of great aesthetics this is an excellent choice. The PCB is super sturdy and this feels like a quality board. I've always bought Gigabyte motherboards and they have always been quality.

A great mATX board for its price. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles that are needed for your average user. There's no real need to spend more on more pricey motherboard if you're never going to use the features.

The BIOS is really clean and easy to navigate, and the options for overclocking are very nice.

I would like to point out the only reason I got this one is because it was around $30 cheaper than the ATX version of the same board.

Motherboard is great, coupled it with E2200. The install was a breeze , System is up and running. The board package contained only a short pamplet showing the essential connectors , which was somewhat helpfull. I had to register the motherboard at xfx site to get the manual. Which wasn't all that great , but at contained the details. I haven't played with the bios settings yet so till now its a great buy.
 Overclocked the CPU to 3Ghz , blazing fast windows xp load, just 3 and a half bars before login screen. Moderate overclocking features. Excellent for a budget motherboard.
