GIGABYTE GA-770T-USB3 ATX AMD Motherboard

Comment:
Straightforward to install. Fast. Used with linux ubuntu and mythtv.Updated bios effortlessly. Make confident the ram is seated properly.

Comment:
Common install into case; all front panel plugs where supported. Incredibly specialist finished solution. Nevertheless shipping old BIOS that does NOT assistance AMD X6. Gigabyte's help resolution was send the board to them (at your cost), and they'd flash it for you. The case I bought had four USB ports, audio and E-SATA on the front; all these had been straight plugged into the M/B and worked fantastic.

Comment:
Bought related model a year ago. Encouraged, I bought two more. A single of the new units I bought gave me BSOD for the duration of my initially set up. This happened again during second install, but completed installation; even so OS froze regularly. Third installation was smooth, but again OS froze regularly. Since this pc was for a relative living 50 miles away, I was only able to perform on it on weekends, and now RMA is previous due. It looks like I'm not alone w/ these troubles.

Comment:
Good capabilities, uncomplicated to configure. USB3 Not also reputable, board ran nicely for 2 months and went downhill quickly. Had two repair Windows twice, now the MB will not even post. This was a rev 1. board, perhaps they fixed some thing in the 1.three that will aid the stability.

Comment:
The specs and the cost would make this board a wonderful deal... if it worked adequately. I've owned this board for more than a year now (I have the 1.1 revision but I believe they are up to 1.four, regardless the adverse evaluations just appear to keep pouring in...) and started experiencing the random BSOD problems from nearly day a single. Inexplicably this board will just blue screen for just about no reason whatsoever. It's hard to reproduce and it nearly generally appears to have a nack for undertaking it at the most inopportune time. I spent a long time adjusting settings, altering out hardware components, and so on. trying to fix this dilemma. Then one day I did some browsing, on Newegg and other places, and found a lot of other individuals had been getting the exact same difficulty with the exact same board. Gigabyte applied to be a decent board maker and nevertheless may be, but this model is totally terrible. Also, in addition to the random BSOD problems (and they occur a lot btw, this isn't anything random), this board also will sometimes fail to POST or even show something on the screen at all. Right after a couple of minutes (continued...) (continuing...) turned off and with the energy provide powered down to drain the capacitors it seems to work once more. I'm at present employing firmware version 10 so hopefully these troubles will disappear with a newer firmware update but to be sincere, following a year of owning this board I have absolutely nothing but regrets. I just found out lots of other people have been getting this similar issue about a week or so ago and so I'm going to give up on this board. I've study that even immediately after folks RMA'd their board the new ones nonetheless had the same issues. This is by far the worst board I've owned in terms of quality. As I said in the pros, if it worked effectively it would be an awesome board provided the characteristics and the cost, but for a business with a reputation as excellent as Gigabytes employed to be for them to release a board with as many troubles as this one in these occasions of near flawless motherboards from other suppliers is just a disgrace to their name.

quite pleased i purchased this motherboard due to the fact it runs fantastic and i have not had any difficulties at all none would buy again and it help the new amd phenom two X6

Comment:
Fast, simple bios, effortless to update. usb three. Possessing freezing and cold boot errors with mine, equivalent to what other people are experiencing. Northbirdge, a tiny flaky so be carefull. Nevertheless a good mobo, and would buy it again. However I wishI believed of my mobo becoming defective ahead of 30 days.

Comment:
Good price tag.Excellent specs.It truly has a serial and a parallel port! (Yes, I nevertheless use those) The one particular I got was defective. It appeared to perform fine, and anything was steady except for the USB.USB partially worked; It worked well enough to run my mouse, but the syslog would be flooded with errors. Reading from flash drives worked most of the time, but writing to them under no circumstances did. This was a problem for each the USB 2. and three. ports.Swapping power supply, ram, and so on. with known very good components did absolutely nothing to appropriate the issue. Considering the challenges other men and women have reported in this feedback, I lastly RMA'd this motherboard and bought a different 1. (same chipset)Swapping the motherboard fixed the challenge with no other modifications. (Same OS set up, all hardware besides motherboard the very same) Great thing I tried to use a flash drive ahead of Newegg's 30 day warranty period was up. I rarely use any USB devices apart from my mouse, but just about every device I plugged into any of the ports (including the mouse) generated a flood of error messages in the syslog. The new motherboard accepts all my USB devices with no errors in the syslog.Newegg has great consumer service. RMA was quick and simple, Newegg provided a prepaid shipping label for return.Gigabyte has created very good items in the previous, but I guess this one is not so good.

This board functions nicely for me now BUT it took me a lot of time to get the BIOS settings correct to insure stability. The board has fairly good attributes for the cost variety such as a rapid FSB, AM3 support, digital audio in/out, a lot of ram assistance..ectNow that my technique is finally stable I'm happy, it's just as well undesirable that it wasn't steady from day a single. Stability difficulties straight associated to RAM. This appears to be a widespread difficulty with these motherboards. I purchased the proper variety and speed RAM but this motherboard wouldn't enable me to run the RAM at the stock settings Ƒ.5v 9-9-9-30T). Right after manually altering the DRAM configuration to 1.62v ten-ten-10-30T I was ultimately able to start out my system correctly (but nevertheless had random crashes every couple of days). With the stock/default settings my system was so unstable it wouldn't even install windows or boot up. Lastly right after changing the memory clock to 1066mhz from the stock 1333MHz my laptop is totally steady. I've constructed several other systems and in no way had so several problems. This board produced my system make a total nightmare for the first month. Would've liked to have surround sound assistance on the optical audio out. Higher temperatures on one particular of the on-board components I believe it is the FSB front side bus.

No challenges. I looked at just about every 770 motherboard proabably 10 occasions ahead of I lastly settled on this 1. Have applied Gigabyte in the past. Have a 900Mhz Athlon computer system wiht a Gigabyte MB thats nevertheless going sturdy following 10 years. Easytune 6 software makes tweaking the bios settings super straightforward. Core unlocked my Phenom II X2 3.2 Ghz Black Edition to a four core no problem. Has USB3 capability. Doesn't have a screw mount hole in upper proper corner of the board near the memory slots. There is a screw hole there but it is not a reinforced hole so I didn't use it. But it wasn't really an situation as the memory pushed in with no utilizing overwhelming force. Working with Corsair XMS3 DDR3 1600 2x2GB due to the fact I got a combo deal on it. It's not on the Gigabyte compatibility list but it works just fine. Corsair states 1.65V but I've got mine operating at 1.52V and 1600 speed with no issues.

Really Rapid Boot! With a fresh set up of Win XP x64 Pro (all drivers & updates) from Windows "Restart" to back inside Windows is just 30 seconds! Even cold boots are rapidly unless you have changed hardware (e.g. add a HD) and then just a couple of more seconds to get thru the POST. This is with making use of a WD Blue WD6400AAKS 640GB Drive as the Boot Drive. It appears to be a good small board. Rather of returning the board, I decided the least painful route was to obtain a ั Sempron Sargas from a regional laptop shop and flash to the F2 BIOS. Worked w/ nary a issue. Straight into Q-Flash, it copied the update from a USB drive. Swapped in the X6 1090T and voilà! It performs fine afai can tell. No Bench's performed at this time. Kudos to Gigabyte's response (here and e mail to me). You have to admire a business prepared to appropriate a "One-Egger" challenge, and I applaud Gigabyte's effort (Thank "Gigabyte"). Yes... caveat emptor applies too. five Eggs to "balance out" the harsh One-Egg review under. Again, it seems a wonderful board for the day I've utilized it.

Comment:
Good characteristics with lots of possibilities in the BIOS for tweaking for performance and overclocking. Built in BIOS and program recovery. Lots of SATA connections, a single IDE connection and it has a floppy connection as effectively. Very strong board with functional frills! None so far... This board has only one PCIe slot so don't buy if you want SLI or Xfire.

Comment:
Am3, DDR3, USB three., two ounces of copper maintaining it rapid and cool babeeee! Layed out nicely, appears cool. Like the colors. Effortless set up. Set automatically to 1333mhz on the ram but that's a plus... I purchased 1333mhz ram. I'm mostly into games and was searching for a low-cost setup that would play most games on max settings and for 跾, a little analysis, I got what I wanted. For the value or not, this factor flies. Most games at 50+fps on max settings, no hicups. Fantastic board period. Gigabyte been berry great to me lengthy time. It doesn't self modify to keep up with the market. Method:Xp, this mobo of course. AMD dual core three.1, ADATA 1333mhz dual channel ram, EVGA 9800GT, avg. hard drive.

Comment:
Nice layout - no problems - overclocks well none I got this board to attempt some overclocking and it performs wonderful. Lots of bios selections.

Comment:
Not also high pricedSupports quad and hexacore processors rock solid building Layout of the connections could use some function. The front audio header is located towards the back proper above the video card instead of along the edge near the bottom. SATA connections can be a bit awkward, wish they had been rotated 90 degrees. Handles a Phenom II x4 955 with ease. The general building of it seems incredibly heavy duty. Must final a long time.

Comment:
Good specs........under no circumstances got it to perform so I can't say very first hand, I'm only guessing. Utilised this MB with G. Skill DDR3-1333 2GB Duel-Channel RAM model #F3-10666CL8D-4GBHK, that I verified through the Gigabyte website, AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz Socket AM3, EVGA GeForce 9800 GTX+. The very first board I RMAed because it wouldn't POST immediately after installing the RAM. I just received my replacement and am obtaining the similar challenge. I had a neighborhood repair shop confirm my RAM was good with out challenge. The best I can inform all of my elements are compatible. I guess I'll just get a refund and try a new board.

This is a wonderful, higher top quality motherboard with lots of capabilities and USB3 help. It has lots of overclocking potential and is quite low cost to boot. None Been employing Gigabyte motherboards for the past 6 years and none have let me down however. For the prior reviewer that stated you can't unlock the 4th core in the X3 CPU with this board, I was capable to unlock my Athlon II X3 into a Phenom II X4 simply with Gigabytes easytune application.

Comment:
A lot of SATA, lots of USB ports, fantastic onboard audio. This board HEATS UP. Idling, "temp3" maintains 78 degrees, which I assume is the northbridge, but the documentation is lacking :( This appears to be a widespread issue, but even at complete load I've by no means observed it above 81 degrees. Not a large problem, but significant to note. Backplate didn't rather line up with my case, but that's just about a non-challenge. Most likely wouldn't acquire once more, but don't mind utilizing anyway.

Comment:
Feels and looks really strong dual bios for when i goof up an OC, AM3 six core support (with a bios update)USB3 (whatever that is, it sounds helpful)worked correct out the box I just know I'll run into some hardware concern, I constantly do. The suspense is killing me. Couldnt unlock a 3 core Athlon into a 4 core Phenom. I'm begining to consider AMD closed that loophole a even though back

Comment:
CheapGreat feature set Steady None I just completed three builds employing the X4-640 processor and 2x4 G.Skill DDR3-1333 RAM. Nary a hitch, all three running completely smooth and quickly. Drivers load very easily, BIOS update is painless.

Comment:
I'm positive it'll perform fine with the new bios Immediately after acquiring an X6 1055T I saw this board and thought it would match the bill just fine, it was advertised as functioning with the new X6 CPU's. What I didn't know was you needed an X4 installed in order to flash the new bios in order to make the board operate with the X6. I took this as a dead board and RMA'ed it which expense me ป in shipping. Now I come to come across out when I get the new board it will just do the exact same thing! So now I'm out ป in shipping and I have to buy another CPU just to flash the bios?? Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

The setup of the board is nicely spaced and has lots of 3-pins to add extra cooling to your method. The capabilities are pretty cool and the board appears fantastic. I had it up and operating for about three days soon after placing it all collectively (running with a 3.1ghz Athlon II triple-core and EVGA GTS 450) It was operating fine till I got my BSOD. Following that the BSODs wouldn't quit, and to make matters worse it gave me a different error code each and every time. I hope I can RMA this through newegg this week and swap to the ASUS board with equivalent features. I should've listened to the poor reviews on the numerous troubles with this board....

Comment:
This is heart and soul of my computer system and it functions completely! Nothing at all.

flawless none paired with 955 x4 to straightforward to set up win7 property 64 and raid type of felt cheated utilized to have to worry not this rig... all i can say is WOW
