This is not my first and likely won't be my last Gigabyte board; I do like them and have had great results with them. This one is for a home server and has plenty of features at a price way less than some similar boards. I found other similarly priced boards had less features such as only two memory slots or similar.This board supports the latest generation of Intel processors. It also works perfectly with the high performance RAM I bought. Put it all together and it works great right from the first push of the power button.I did find that with the mATX size, the components on the board are sometimes a little close to each other or a placed a little bit differently than I would like. This is to be expected with the smaller area to work with but it did unfortunately put the memory in the way of the hard drive bays in the case I am using. Wouldn't be an issue in most cases but mine doesn't have the drive cage rotated.Overall a great motherboard for the price.

Got this board for a budget build along with an i3 4330 and so far everything is preforming very well. For a cheap board, it has everything you need. Lots of fan connections, great onboard audio, easily attainable drivers from Gigabyte. Overall, no complaints.

Bought an open box which a long time to get here. I have quite a few Gigabyte boards and haven't had any problems with. NCIX didn't list what type of nic controller was on board and I made the mistake thinking it was an Intel. Should have checked the Gigabyte web site for specs. Not a huge deal but still would have preferred the Intel. I am going to use this for a Freenas build.

Great budget motherboard, I have it running issue free with an i3-4330. I had initially bought an ASUS B85M-E but the BIOS was over 6 months old and didn't support any Haswell i3's! Even the oldest BIOS on this board supports Haswell i3's (F7)I wish it had DisplayPort, but for an $85 motherboard you can't have it all.Regarding the review a few below mine, this board does NOT support SLI.

Great board for the price. mATX size with almost all the features full ATX motherboards support. Running an i3 4330 in it and I love it.
