Full review
Lets start with the advantages. It has 4 PCI slots, while most of it rivals - AM2 boards - has less. It has built -in video interface, although it's not powerful. It has a firewire port, but I had't the opportunity to test it. The built-in 7Ch sound car is also nice.Its durable, comes in a beautiful and carefully arranged packaging with all the nessecery cables. Also you get a GigaByte sticker - some enthusiasts collect them. The manual is very helpful, the provided CD has a LOT of utilities and various programs, such as Acrobat Reader. It is fast and has a good overclocking potential. And yes, the Gigabit LAN is also very nice. 8 USB ports, how can you need more? Its great, in general.
And now, the disandavtages. Once I got a fake temperature reading - it showed that my system temp was 127degrees Centigrade! I was really scared, until opened my case and found out that was a mistake - both the bridges were bust a bit warm. After restarting my system several times I got the system temp back to normal - 29 degrees. The provided hardware monitor and Overclocking utility "EasyTune" hangs up sometimes. Clear CMOS as well as the battery is in the wrong place, the sys_fan port also - I don't know about other's, but mine case's HDD rack stands in front of them. Apart from that, it's a great MotherBoard for your PC. I would definetely recommend it for a mid-end user.
