BIOSTAR G41D3+ Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Comment:
I have located out that the NB and SB had been obtaining way to hot and were causing my concerns. I carefully removed the NB and SB heatsinks and applied Artic Silver five to them and also attached a fan to the NB. I have been able to restart my Computer additional than 50 occasions and leave it off for over 24 hours and it still operates completely. So be aware, you will require to apply to thermal paste to each NB and SB and attach a small fan to the NB if you want to preserve every thing operating smooth. Biostar wanted me to spend complete shipping in order to send the motherboard back to be tested out. I asked them, why could they not just send me a new revision 6.1 mobo and I send the revision six. mobo to them. I even have a 1 year direct warrenty, and I am certain they see all these poor testimonials. Most likely will by no means get biostar once more.

Low cost. Got it as element of a combo deal. Effortless to set up. Died out on me right after about six months. Got the blue screen of death, and any attempts to switch out memory, tough drive, other elements have been useless. Waste of dollars, and now I have to go purchase a new one particular. Don't bother. Spend the further couple bucks and obtain a solution that functions.

Nice Value ! Go NewEgg! perform for about 3 days until it started blue screening. Tried various memory, processor, OS and difficult drive. The northbridge chip started overheating. And to end all worse the network port quit. Invest a few extra bucks and get an Intel or Foxconn motherboard they appear to operate Substantially much better.

There are only a few pro's for this board. Use of DDR3 on a 775 socket for such a low price tag.Nice overclocking for such a affordable motherboard. NB gets way to hot and so does SB.Trying to replace the TP on either is such a challange with no scarping traces on the motherboard and causeing much more concerns. I think the issues I and every person else are having are from poor thermal compound application on each the NB and SB. I understand they can not put super high high quality Aŭ or the Noctua TP on these, but do not use thermal pads or something. Just you MX-2 or somthing on each the NB and SB and I am sure all the difficulties will be cured. Manufacturer Response:The G41 and ICH7 chipsets can get hot, but not understanding how hot you are referring to.
