Something is wrong with this board.

Something is wrong with the bios, something it shows welcome screen, sometimes not. The board arrives curve. But if it do their job well, I will keep it. Note that it only have 6 pcies, not 7 as the picture.

Worst product ever. Alot of spots and dent on the board.

There is no board and there were a couple of pieces missing and one piece was duplicated. I do NOT recommend this product. Unfortunately this was a gift so I cannot return it.

I think this hardware defective. I am going to ask for a replacement. If cant be replaced then will ask for a refund

Pros: Good instruction booklet; well marked connection points on board.

Cons: Poor design, construction and quality control; no tech support evident.

Discussion:

I purchased one of these boards and discovered that the RJ-45 Ethernet connector was dead, although the LED indicator light indicated it was working. An email to the only tech support evident, which is in Taiwan, was not answered. So I returned it to the store where I had purchased it, and exchanged it for another board. It was with some concern that I then noted that the serial number was only 4 digits removed from the previous board, and sure enough, it also had a defective Ethernet connector.

A search of these boards on the Internet revealed that connector failures are common (provided the board is not completely dead to start with), but that people who managed to get a working one were generally happy with them, and since my main workhorse computer uses an older AMD socket 754 Gigabyte board which I have been well satisfied with, I decided to try a third time.

However, rather than returning the second board, I purchased another one with a radically higher serial number (which I hoped would eliminate any problems that a bad production run might have introduced with the first two boards), since it was becoming evident that Gigabyte's design and quality control were seriously lacking and I was concerned that there might be something worse wrong with the third board, in which event I could always use the second board with an old Belkin PCI network adapter card I had on hand.

Because of the time and energy already wasted on this project, I tested the board on my workbench by running it in the open, sitting on its box padding, and with the various board connections hay-wired to it. It seemed to work fine, but I let it run, off and on for four days, and it continued to work OK. I then installed it in the case. And promptly discovered that the Ethernet connector had failed, despite the fact that it had been working fine on the workbench.

My conclusion is that there is something wrong with the electro mechanical design and construction of these boards that, if they are not already defective when they arrive from the factory, causes a failure when they experience the pressure placed on the connector housing by the spring tabs on the rear connector plate of the computer case. Whether the Ethernet connector would work again if I removed it from the case, I don't know; it is hardly worth the time to find out because obviously there are one or more bad connections on the board.

Since the manufacturers in Taiwan are not interested in providing support, and the United States Gigabyte people provide no technical support, do not have a toll free phone number and do not even provide an email contact address, I fear that Gigabyte motherboards are no longer the good investment that they once were.

I have written a letter to Gigabyte's U.S.A. offices about this mess, and will post any updates at [...] .

I purchased this micro controller to build a macro keyboard to help me with repetitive tasks. When I got the package it was sent in an Amazon padded mailer and the cardboard box inside was partially crushed. I carefully inspected the board and it appeared in good condition and so I connected it to my computer and successfully flashed on a test program. Thats when I discovered the board has a short and was sending keyboard inputs to my computer with no buttons or cables connected to the board. If I touched a pin with anything metallic that pin would start repeating itself or switching between pins.

I requested a refund and will send this board back and have already ordered a new one. From what I can see this board does exactly what I want with a very nice form factor. I am giving this review four stars because Amazon did a poor job shipping the package. Otherwise this board should have been flawless.

P.S. The Arduino software found the board with no issues!

Great board.. But..the  Rear truck was not aligned. has an unchangeable pull to the left because of this failure to align the truck properly.. It rides nice until the bearings wear out (which only takes three weeks to happen)..  When it first arrived the wheels were on so tight to the point that it broke one skate tool and stripped the other tool.. The wood stain rubs off on anything when it gets wet..  Over all it's a great board.. I love riding it..

DO NOT BUY THIS!
It will work for a while and then the power connection gives out somehow. I thought my board was just a lemon until I saw others had the same issue. I will not buy this again.

The board seems to be uneven, or at least certainly raised at some point in the middle, so it's still wobbling around if I don't put a wet towel underneath it (which is just now what I have to do). Essentially, the rubber stoppers on the side are useless. Still, this is a good sized board and I have it for general quick use, though I prefer my larger wooden board for bigger tasks.

The composite board material is too soft for the attachment hardware to work properly.  One of t pulled all the way out of their sockets; and these The screw-in "female" holders were seated at various depths, making proper positioning of the posts impossible; and when one screws the posts in, the holders go in deeper too, or loosen their grip on the board. One screw-in "female" holder pulled all the way out. Some of the posts became bent, one doubled-over. Most of the screw-in rotating attachments bent or broke and so did not grab onto the posts. I asked the company for and received new screw-in rotating attachments (they were courteous and prompt), but in disassembling the piece now I have sees the deeper problems outlined above. I have assembled many similar item over the years, and this is the first time I've experienced such issues, which are (to repeat) a result of the board material itself being too soft. I will repair it with hardware that shows on the surface; luckily, my installation has the back and one end hidden from view,

Love this but this one seems to be defective and doesn't close smoothly when lowering the top board.  It's uneven and the closing mechanism seems to be off track.

The board cracked after a few months. It was maintained and oiled regularly - not sure why this happened. Its now unusable

Had this put into my guitar at a instrument repair shop that is certified by Fender, Gibson, and Martin. The man who was putting it in had it working very well when it suddenly shut off. He took it out and checked it and found that the board had shorted out. The circuit board is a paper thin, half dollar size, peace of tech that I am very displeased with. It would be nice if I could just buy another board or even better if they would replace it.

The board arrived with two bent socket pins. It's a good thing it arrived two days before the processor, otherwise I probably would have rushed the build together and not noticed it. I know I didn't cause the bends, because the two pins were far apart from each other. It's not a mushed section or portion of the socket, it's two localized pins, on almost opposite ends of the socket. One was bent 180 degrees!

I've bent them back the best I can, and I'll have to see if it works when the processor arrives. Very poor QA. This should have been noticed before the product went out the door.

Update:

The processor was installed and it runs like a champ. I would give it 5 stars if not for the bent pins.

Motherboard is defective (VIA usb3.0 host controller is failing, causing intermittent issues with usb audio, keyboard, and mouse and various BSOD issues). Send board for RMA replacement, received the same board returned 3 weeks later and after $50 shipping back to MSI.
