Nice layout, Constructed-in graphics, Dual BIOS, USB three., SATA 3.. I had alot of trouble getting in to the BIOS with a USB keyboard. Plugged in an old PSǘ keyboard and had much better luck. I was rebuilding an older computer to be a affordable but potent desktop. mainly utilized as a workstaion to test points.Gigabyte Ga-890GPA-UD3HAMD Phenom two 1100TG Skills Sniper 8GB 2x4GB

Excellent layout, nice heatsinks, powerful develop on board. Crossfirex doesnt seem to function. I have had Crossfire setup on my old board Asus M2a32-MVP and it worked ideal from the go no issues. On this board the cards crash and cannot produce a 3D enviroment. Talk with tech support and they say one particular of the cards is unstable. But when i installed my old board back presto instant Crossfire. And with just a single card installed it operates ok as longs u dont try anything to graphic intense.

Nice functions; very good worth DEAD! I have purchased alot of motherboards more than the years, and this is the very first I have that was DOA (like a lot of other individuals have reported). I have it test on a bench, with only the 24-pin atx and eight-pin P4 power-provide connectors plugged in. Also tried with keyboard/mouse. I have attempted several sets of RAM and two different CPUs. You get a momentary power-cycle when you try to turn it on, then everything shuts off. If you hit power-button again, it won't do anything at all. If you unplug the energy-provide, then plug it back it, it will act the very same way. Have removed battery, all of it makes no difference. A single intriguing factor is if I unplug the eight-pin P4 plug, it will power-on, but of course no display. THis just would have to take place on a Friday night!

This board has all the features I necessary for a potent desktop and some video operate. The onboard audio and graphics cards operate effectively, but for much better resolutions and speed, one particular could upgrade by adding cards. Haven't O'clocked anything on it, and most likely will not, so can't comment. But the BIOS system is simple to use, and does everything I will need. Together with AMD quad Ɠ.2ghz) and eight gb Gskill RAM in an Antec Sonata Proto case, it purrs effortlessly by means of any task. Oh yeah.. OCZ 60Gb SSD drive boots up in a flash; ideal thing I ever did. None Glad I moved to SSD!!! For some setups, I assume you could reside with out an HD.. a 90gig SSD can hold most apps, and lots of everyday data.. of course, unless you load a lot of video/graphics/data, and so forth..

-- This is my initial AMD build, and I have to say I am favorably impressed. -- This is my second GIGABYTE board-- it had the appropriate combination of SATA3 ports and processor help to meet my needs.-- I liked the mechanical aspects of AMD's socket 3 and cooling fan far greater than Intel's LGA775.-- An enthusiast can create a method with this board and a 6-core CPU for about 赨 much less than an Intel method.-- Onboard video implies I can shop about for a good video card although nonetheless enjoying my new program!-- This motherboard would be an great upgrade motherboard, thanks to its integrated legacy capabilities.-- The USB charger port is handy for charging the iPod, even when the technique goes into sleep mode. I don't care for the SATA ports pointed at the side of the board. But I knew what I was receiving thanks to the pictures on NewEgg's excellent internet site. -- I'm not an overclocker, but there appear to be tons of goodies in the BIOS to tinker with.-- I installed Fedora 14 on this system with no issues. It recognized ALL of the hardware on the board... pretty remarkable!-- I maxxed the memory on my system with Muskin memory, 2 sets of N82E16820226095.-- This board has many revisions... and of course NewEgg shipped me the most current.

Incredibly basic installation, very good general objective board, Simple BIOS interface. When preforming technique benchmarks on Ubuntu ten.ten (w/AMD Athlon II X3 @ three.two GHz), I noticed that the processor showed up as two 800 MHz cores [cores & two] and 1 3200 MHz core [core 1] . I decided to look at the BIOS; immediately after disabling the "Cool & Quiet" choice, further benchmarks showed 3200 MHZ for all cores. It wasn't truly that tricky to repair, but it should have been tested in a Linux environment, and it reflects poorly on GIGABYTE's style approach.

Booted proper up. No complications overclocking. Excellent board. I knew the sata ports were on their side but i didn't know it would be such a hassle to connect two side by side. Tons of capabilities I'll by no means use. the Giga byte software that came on the disk are buggy, If you can.....prevent them. The overclock program would only load about half the time and it never saved any profile properly. The bios has a ton of Voltage features so its no problem performing manual OC. Reviews had me Quite worried. I have built 7 pcs with gigabyte boards and they all where good. This is a high Quality board.

Good, excellent looking, quick board. Liked the SATA ports layout. USB3. The value point was good at first... ... but now it's ฝ greater as I am possessing to RMA the board. Immediately after 29 days I woke to a Pc that won't POST. I removed all the peripheral elements, still no post. Stripped down to the RAM... no POST. Took OUT the RAM, no beeps warning or something. The processor fan spins typically, and LEDs perform, but that's it.I also had a popping sound from the onboard sound from day 1. Asking yourself if that could be related? I am RMA'ing the board tonight (going property to strip it all down and take it all apart once more). Not happy but I understand elements fail occasionally. I am hoping the replacement operates because I chose a replacement and not a refund. I liked the board, and I like Gigabyte's history. (I have utilized them a lot of times before). They have always been reliable in the previous. I hope the new board functions out. I will post up a stick to up in the future.

Overall wonderful motherboard. Place in 8gb of memory and a Rigor x2 245 processor. Runs like a dream. Took me hours and hours and hours to figure out that fundamentally this motherboard hates raid cards. I built this machine as a replacement for our home server. I necessary 16 tough drives in a single machine, and considering that only 8 ports are obtainable onboard, that implies I needed 2 far more raid cards. Wasn't compatible with any PCI or PCI-e raid cards I place in. Some raid cards would disable the onboard AMD raid. All the raid cards would make the motherboard bios unable to be utilised. In 19 years of developing computers I have by no means seen this dilemma. When I install a raid card it would change the challenging drive order....OK that's fine. So I went into the bios and the screen has no menu options. Had the top header and the bottom footer but no menu choices. OK...so take that card out and put in a different card....very same factor...modify slots...same thing. Had I identified that this board had so many difficulties with raid cards I would have purchased an intel based board. Under no circumstances ever had any difficulties like this with an intel board...

Anything worked fine right out of the box. I replaced an ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 that arrived DOA with this board and I'm glad I did. The placement of the SATA ports is incredibly great. The RAM slots are far sufficient away from the CPU that my memory fan doesn't hit the CPU fan. The BIOS is simple to adjust and overclock. I actually can't assume of a difficulty with this board. I didn't chose Gigabyte ahead of wasting my time and income with ASUS. It price me ส to return my other mobo that arrived DOA back to newegg because of a "restocking fee". So if you happen to be in the market place for an ASUS M4A89TD PRO/USB3 and get an "open box" deal from newegg, it may possibly just be my old board! Hey, at least it will be marked down by about ส.

Has a lot of good capabilities....6 gig SATA....3 gig USB. A lot of SATA and USB ports. Booted up the initially time. Quit working following 1 week. All of a sudden it could not locate any of the tricky drives. It wouldn't even boot from the DVD drive with the Windows install disc. Waiting on replacement from Newegg. This is a great motherboard offered the 2nd one particular operates. Then I will be happy.

Comment:
Straightforward install. Had to tweak a few settings to optimize. None Haven't over clocked yet. Will try soon

Comment:
The mobo is quick to approach, and is rather sturdy. It seems to be excellent in regards to not over heating. The RAM slots are two close with each other and the SATA ports are genuinely complex to access in smaller frames.

Comment:
Superb construct excellent. Extremely stable with a tweak. The SATA headers are along the edge of the motherboard and point parallel to the board, not up. This is a pain in the rear, and in my view, a style flaw.With a USB keyboard, there is only a really short window through boot in which it recognizes DEL for setup. I typically have to reboot two or 3 instances to get into BIOS.With a dual-monitor configuration, Catalyst 11.1 Drivers, and Windows 7 64 Bit, the video driver crashes often. I was in a position to "fix" this challenge by setting the graphics memory to "Sideport Only." If I cared about 3D, this would most likely lead to unacceptable efficiency. Hopefully, AMD will repair this with Catalyst 11.two. I really don't like those sideways pointing SATA headers.

Comment:
I don't know as well substantially about mobo's but I like it. Got my AMD 1100t running up on this. Loving it for 129.99 - no cons

Value is ideal. Utilizing this motherboard to rip video and play steam games on my Samsung 55 inch Tv. Outstanding utility Machine with AMD 1190T on Win 7 ࿀ bit). I am waiting to get the Sata III drives 鳖 meg/s sustained) configured into raid5 for a 6 x 2TB storage box. Fantastic utility automobile for playing video, netflix, iTunes and blue ray. Very good place to maintain all the HD video I'm ripping and recording. Excellent 1.3a HDMI sound to a Dolby Pioneer sound program for 5.1. Upgrading to the latest HD4290 chipset will unlock some performance for games. Has the Directx version 11 shader. AMD has all the bells and whisles to calibrate HD sound and video just the way you want it with this motherboard. Slightly disapointed that the power stays about 50-60 watts at low or idle usage. Need to have a superior power management method than placing the box into sleep mode. Incredibly comparable and less costly than my older Gigabyte X48-UD6, Intel Q9450 and Saphire HD 5770. Am able to rip video at 100 FPS with the 1090T which is 2x to 3x speed compared to the finest the Q9450 can come up with. For the most intense shooters the HD 5770 with a 24 inch LED at 2ms is ideal.

Has sufficient characteristics to carry me into the future. This is my initially make. If I had read the installation book a small closer I would not have had any issues with commence-up. A couple of speedy calls to Gigabyte help got me going. Due to the fact this was my first make I did a lot of reading prior to creating a decision. At first I thought I had made a negative choice but then I located that the begin-up issues had been more my doing than the board. Really happy that I did make a excellent selection. If you have troubles, give Gigabyte a likelihood to respond prior to geting unfavorable. Installation book could be additional distinct on some subjects for the novices like me. Nevertheless, the techs on the other end of the phone line had been knowlegable and got the remedy rapidly. Had to make two calls and every situation was resolved in less than 5 minutes. The ports on the side of the board are not a problem for the CoolerMaster Storm Scout. Essentially they are hassle-free in this situation. The cable attachments for the tricky drives face the similar side of the case exactly where the motherboard is mounted so the SATA side mounts from the board are truly facing the drives and make for uncomplicated attachment.

Seriously uncomplicated installation, posted initial time. Absolutely no complaints. None at the moment. Bought with the AMD Pheon II 965 and it is Extremely Fast!

Looks excellent, worked excellent for three day. I had high hopes for this motherboard! Guess I ought to have read over all the bad reviews prior to shopping for this item, simply because just about every individual who had purchased this motherboard had the same dilemma as I did. I hope the new one they send me works! Newegg is fantastic to help you with difficulty like this.

Sturdy Building, Nice layout of elements. Bios very easy to operate with. It's proberly the LUCK of the Draw! not impressed with this 1 though IT SAYS W7 Support. THE SPECS CLEARLY STATE IT'S A WINDOWS XP AND VISTA BOARD. IT'S AN ERROR ON MY Element, I ASSUMED IT WOULD Perform Without ANY Problems WITH WINDOWS 7 . I 1st Bought THE 880 AND THAT WOULD NOT RECONIZE THE Hard DRIVE. ASKED TO Install DISK WITH DRIVERS. GIG Need to HAVE BURNED A Few DISKS AND SENT THEM TO IT.S RETAILERS TO SEND OUT WITH THE BOARD. RETURNED IT FOR THIS A single. Although IT RECONIZSD THE Tricky DRIVE IT WAS Extremely SLOW INSTALLING THE Wǝ OPERATING Software program. Started out OMITTING A BURNING ODER Instantly. HAD TO Install SOME DRIVERS Once again, Appears LIKE THE 890 LOST SOME ON THE 1'ST PASS. BOARD WORKED BUT NOT CONSISTANTLY . UPON REMOVING BOARD I NOTICED IT HAD SLIGHT BURN MARKS Around STATA CONNECTIONS, WITH THE BURN ODER Still PRESENT. BOARD WENT BACK ON AN RMA. Possibly Next One WILL DO WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO DO. AS WITH Anything Things Occur! THE QUESTION IS HOW THE RETAILOR RESPONDS . AS USUAL NEWEGG GENERATED AN RMA Inside IN MINUTES.. THANKS Again NEWEGG!!!! A SIDE NOTE FOR THE MANUFACTURES.

Very good arrangement of elements and goes into technique easily. Love the edge mounted sata connections as they make cable management a lot easier. I have two of these now and both are wonderful. Edge mounting the ide connection like the sata woudl be nice. A wonderful selection for a new method.

Comment:
Charges through USB even when the pc is off.USB 3., SATA III, dual x16 ports and three PCIe x1 ports. BIOS doesn't enable half-steps for multiplier overclocking. You get x17, x18, x19, etc...but no x17.five, x18.5. You can do half-actions for Turbo-core, even so. This board is high-priced but you get what you pay for in terms of function set and excellent.

Comment:
Nice layout makes for simple create. SATA and front panel connections in excellent location for cable management. Cool look with blue anodized bridge heat sinks and copper pipe work. Much easier to take proper side panel off to connect SATA if you have big fingers. Not truly a con sense it helps in cable management...just saying Operating in Win7 64 Pro, 16Gb Corsair HX RAM, AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition, ATI FirePro V5400. All playing nicely together and blisteringly rapidly in heavy CAD and desktop publish atmosphere
