Comment:
*All the functions that come with a Classic Sturdy 3 Board are right here.*Feature set is unmatched at this price tag range N/A Not Genuinely a Difficulty but be aware that Bios version FF corrects a Cool n' Fairly challenge. Updating it solved a fan spin issue for me.

Comment:
The board has a ton of eye-catching attributes. The testimonials from folks who received operating boards are glowing. It appears even so that it's a straight coin toss involving functioning and non. I am going to exchange this board for the very same a single again and hopefully I'll be editing/rewriting this critique in a distinct light the next time. Identical as most of the other damaging evaluations... fans go, drives spin up, but no beeps and no show. I wouldn't say not to buy this board, simply because it genuinely does have exceptional attributes, but I would hold my breath on the very first a single you receive working completely.

every thing you need all in one board, it really should final me a lengthy time with my 1090t. s/pdif out doesnt look to operate with my yamaha amp but it may be user error on my finish. nevertheless playing with it. I dont like how the sata ports face to the suitable, I think they should plug straight in.

Comment:
Good functions, using internal graphics till I can get a card and it appears good for desktop use. My third build and it all worked like it ought to have. None so far

Comment:
Sleek look and setup. Effortless to set up with minimal hassles as anything is labeled and book gives some directions on exactly where points are plugged in. Initial two ram slots had been not functional the other two had been so I just decided to use them and not bother at the moment get a new 1 with the hassle of that and I have warranty if these two go poor as effectively.Buyer service was lacking they would not stay on the line with you to attempt out what they instructed you to do as all of the other tech supports I've talked to have. Contact back if it didn't perform. I mean Dell would keep on the line, if that tells you something. I can't say it's either them or just a random motherboard malfunction, it can come about with something you obtain that anything may be wrong. Nothings ideal, they just require to perform on their consumer service.

Nice looking motherboard. Seemed to have all the attributes I wanted. DOA. Would not even post to BIOS. I was extremely excited to get this motherboard--the final piece of an whole technique I was constructing. It would not even post to BIOS and the CPU fan does not even run. Followed the directions in the manual and got the enable of folks with a lot far more knowledge than myself. The verdict is the exact same: undesirable motherboard. Like opening a Christmas present and discover a large lump of coal. I just hope it didn't harm my other components. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

Adequate supply of slots ƒ GPU slots, 3 x1s), assistance for four case/cpu fans, generous overclocking functions, versatile board in general. Functioned virtually normally for Ӳ months. From Day 1, it would randomly trigger my OS to freeze for 10-60 seconds at a time, but would resume operating commonly. GPU fans would fluctuate in speed erratically, but stayed inside normal operating temperatures. Upon a typical restart to apply Windows updates, the motherboard would refuse to POST or offer an error code from the internal speaker. Motherboard proceeded to fry my CPU fan as effectively. Soon after diagnosing all achievable concerns, the only culprit remaining was the motherboard. If only this could have occurred during the Newegg RMA window, as it appears Gigabyte's consumer assistance is slower than snail mail (almost a week without having a assistance response). Not certain if I even want to try the RMA, and settle for obtaining an Asus or *shudders* Biostar board with equivalent functions.Gigabyte has generally provided good quality hardware, and till this point I have never had an situation, I guess their QC and CS are slipping.

lots of SATAS for your HD nice heat exchangers runs cool in my df-85 with its 7 fans. i feel with all the sata you could make a server out of the motherboard if you wanted. has areas for LEDs to plug in four memory slots. hdmi performs great on my 40inch 1080p. has tons of features like bios and stuff the i don't fully fully grasp but what i can fully do with them have not checked them all out yet. on board graphics not the greatest recommend you get a graphics card with it if you plane on playing any games or watching videos. not true a con sense its frequent for all new computer systems but obtaining a hard time discover the driver updates. gigabyte desires to make it simpler to update the drivers for there merchandise.

An update on the 890GPA-UD3H ... at the moment operating XP sp3 plus all the latest fixes from Ms ... I updated the bios with @Bios from the expanded file ... worked completely, really uncomplicated.The USB3 functions properly as an Ipad-Iphone charger and has all the expansion capacity I'll will need for awhile. The explanation I upgaded the bios was in hopes that it would repair an ANNOYING problem with the onboard video. I've set it up in the bios with the max 512 Mb of method memory plus the constructed in 128Mb and just about every day at least after the mouse pointer will freeze on the screen. Touch any essential on the keyboard ... the screen goes black then the BSOD with a Quit: 0X000000EA ƐX89986020, 0X8A4E89D0, 0XBA4E7CBC, 0X00000001) Issue almost certainly caused by file: ati2dvag I've installed the most recent video drivers for embedded video chipsets from ATI and NADA ... SOS. Okay ... I'm going to dump XP for W7 Ultimate 64 bit, but the board and ATI say they support XP Pro, So what provides?!

Comment:
Value was right. Attributes are a lot - with area to grow. Easy to perform with (even the not so frequent appropriate-angled SATA connectors). Versatile BIOS. None I'm running as a server for virtual machines. The feature set allows for my future growth. It's been operating non-cease considering that I got it devoid of any troubles.I have used Gigabyte 3 other instances in the past and haven't been disappointed.

Comment:
Features and Cost Incredibly Poor packaging. No protective foam underneath the board. All the unboxing videos I've observed shows the foam. Also, didnt come with the stickers. So, its either poor high quality manage or it was a returned item. Exchanging board. Not going to take a danger installing it and discovering out it doesnt function.

Comment:
Extremely nice motherboard overall. Really uncomplicated installation and setup. Super fast. The on-board network controller does not perform, and from doing a lot of study I see that it has been an situation with this controller for some time. This board is wonderful EXCEPT for the network, DON'T let that scare you off, just pick up a pci-e card for network and you will be all set :)

Comment:
fantastic board, tons of characteristics, i like the effortless unlock havent had a opportunity to use it because when i attempted it got a lil unstable but that was do to a wimpy psu. so not the boards fault none

Comment:
Can any individual verify what revision this is? Rev 3.1 of this board has AM3+ support Rev 1. through 3. do not

Comment:
Lots of functions for a decent cost. The initially 1 I received would not POST. I would just get the 3 extended beeps, telling me its a memory problem. Immediately after trying out three diverse pairs of DIMMs, I ended up RMA'ing the mobo. The second a single has been functioning fine for over 24 hours.

-Two sockets for graphics cards (one x16, other x8)-Assistance for AMD's hexcores correct out of the box-Uncomplicated customizable BIOS settings-Onboard graphics-Excellent durability. You won't crack this board unless you have a chainsaw. -HORRIBLE stock settings (the stock CPU voltage was set to 1.475. THIS IS BORDERLINE SUICIDAL. The 1090t ought to be set to 1.325 volts @ three.2 ghz)-Had to overvolt 1.5v RAM to 1.59 to get it operating stable (not certain if this is the mobo's fault, but its worth mentioning)-This is my second board (first one particular had two dead DDR3 sockets out of the box) We have 3 Gigabyte boards operating good at my house. Till this board, I've had nothing but very good experiences with them. If you're seeking for a Gigabyte board to help the new Phenom ii hexcores, I wouldn't propose this a single. Though it has excellent features, the stock BIOS settings are risky. If you're willing to play with the voltages to get optimal functionality (which you should do anyway, inside a safe variety) this board may possibly serve you effectively. However, I decided to subtract two eggs for this Key design oversight that only a educated eye may well catch.

A nice MB I nevertheless want my video card to play NWN - in Linux. This is an update for - About each 30 days the Ethernet fails to connect at the MB. The very same cat 5 cable connected to one more laptop operates but then fails when it is reconnected to this MB. It fails in Ubuntu & Win XP Pro. Restarting the computer system in both operating systems does not work, but if I power down the PSU for a minute, it works every single time. I thought it could be a BIOS problem but Gigabyte Tech support had no reports of this taking place to any person else & suggested that I could RMA it. Because this fix is operating now, I am going to maintain it.My MB is version two. & I updated the BIOS these days from FA to FF. Following 30 restarts the Ethernet has worked each time. It appears like Gigabyte fixed it with a BIOS update. Thanks.

My board had no troubles. At all. This is where gigabyte lost four stars. I went to there web site to update my bios etc...and was redirected to web-site that attempted to sell me a progran to do the update for me. I paid for the giga name and giga assistance not some half....bait and switch. You've lost a extended time client. Permanently. Hold your garbage and maintain you suggestions.

It works. It's not Asus. Not true certain about that onboard RAID controller. Default AHCI mode worked for me but finding other choices to perform could call for the installation of specific drivers according to the manual. I decided to use Windows computer software RAID to hold issues straightforward and not worry about particular drivers. The drivers should be on DVD that comes with the motherboard. I previously purchased the Asus M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 motherboard. Went via two of them. None would POST. RMAed the 1st one, gave up and got a refund on the 2nd one so I could acquire Gigabyte.The Gigabyte worked promptly for me. The layout is a million times superior than on the Asus. Uncomplicated to get to the connectors. Heat sink attaches with ease unlike on Asus exactly where you will need superhuman strength to force the 2nd clamp onto its latch.

Presents a very good array of issues to test your understanding as you try and figure out your issues. But, that is exactly where Newegg critiques are handy. Current critiques sound like my issue. Sinkhole of time. Cannot run two monitors for positive. Seems more stable with one monitor. Windows errors. Blue Screens. Bought with a Newegg Kit. Expected smooth sailing with a kit. Did not take place for me. Will RMA this. No additional time for it. Don't waste your time. Manufacturer Response:Dear Consumer,Thank you for your comments.

It booted up. It appears steady soon after three days of hammering it. Lots of help for front finish USB devices and layout(aside from RAM) is logical. RAM is pushed all up against an aftermarket cooler like it desires to fight it. I had to move the RAM down a slot, but considering that they got creative and staggered the dual channels on every-other slot, its nonetheless only a ram slot sized distance away. I'm pretty considerably regarded as two sticks of RAM as max for this board + this cooler. Stock voltages for AMD1100T have been pushing the chip way above 70C (computer shutdown) in P95 testing. The core voltage is set Also higher for default. I lowered settings steadily and at some point got it down to 49C, but for the common personal computer user that wants to pop a chip in and run with it, this is not the board for you period. Blame my case and cooling solution? I basically can't. (Antec 900, Arctic Cooling, and so forth. I spent 3 days on stability checks because of this board. I never ever spend additional than half a day ahead of I start off installing studio computer software/games and beating my machine to death to see what it can truly manage. Hopefully a lot. Why is this board listed as 6g? Why is there all this hype about 6g on their web page? The bios CLEARLY shows 3g as does the box. Total lies, and I'm going to look at other alternatives soon after more than TEN years of Gigabyte builds. This value was WAY too high for the feature set offered, lack of 6g and the concern with CPU voltages. I can't fault the board for being broken, not working, stable (so far). That's the only purpose I'm not providing it one particular/two stars. Not becoming DOA and powering up is just half the battle with me, but lets fight the rest next time...Wouldn't acquire this board once again unless it was half the price. Pretty sure folks that have had failures or no post have had voltage difficulties frying the board or compat troubles with their CPU like these. I'm not gunna shoo persons away from purchasing Gigabyte because they've been strong for years, but this board is garbage for the value point.

Really expandableOnboard audio and video far more than met my demands for now Nothing at all so far My initially pc create and am very pleased with the final results.

I was unsure regardless of whether to get this board or not,but I went for it.I installed the 890GPA-UD3H into my CM HAF 922 case,and it POST beeped and entered the BIOS just fine. This motherboard feels extremely strong, appears excellent and is outstanding for the price. Directions are through. Shows all Six cores on my AMD Phenom II 1090T. SATA three and USB three.. From the other reviews, I am questioning if this motherboard will last. Otherwise, No cons,this motherboard functions excellent as of now. The motherboard in it's box did not have any foam backing to avoid damage throughout shipping,possibly just a factory mishap? A excellent all round board for it's price tag, consists of two angled plug SATA cables and two regular type SATA cables,and a IDE cable. Contains a "GIGABYTE powered" sticker,which is a good plus.

Graphics Card is really fairly capable, all it requires is a little bit of tweaking and you can run games like Crysis and Battlefield Bad Company two at medium settings. Mobo itself has a actually good sound card built in. There isn't actually anything that I hate about it. Works like a champ. DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT plug in a usb 2. factor in the three. socket . . . I fried my keyboard carrying out it. Apart from that theres nothing at all negative about this mobo. Just purchase it.
