Cons:Wish it had the USB 3.0 for my front panel

Pros:Great priceSolid BIOS menuSo far no problems
Comment:
Using this for a basic HTPC / Steam streaming box , so far it has worked flawlessly I've had no real issues.I only wish that it had the connector so that I could use USB 3.0 to the front of the panel.Good budget price for what you get

Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV mATX LGA1150 H81 DDR3 PCI-E16 DVI VGA GBLAN SATA3 USB3 Motherboard
Cons:1400mhz ram, latency 8-8-8

Pros:everything works perfect. i was pretty rough building it, but everything still works perfect. has overclocking options, bios is the newest version
Comment:
dunno what the other was talking about "noise from audio jack" but it's probably his connection issue. the audio is high quality. ram is 1400mhz max apparently, with 8-8-8 (even tho my ram is 1600/9-9-9)

Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV mATX LGA1150 H81 DDR3 PCI-E16 DVI VGA GBLAN SATA3 USB3 Motherboard
Cons:Can hear noise feedback from audio jack. Doesn't have all the latest connectors etc.

Pros:Stable. Does its job.
Comment:
An okayish board. Will do its job. The noise from the headphone jack is incredibly annoying. Recommend getting a board with shielded onboard sound PCB paths for a little bit more money. Not worth having to buy a $50 sound card just to make this board bearable. Just buy a $120 motherboard with better build quality and more functionality.

Gigabyte GA-H81M-S2PV mATX LGA1150 H81 DDR3 PCI-E16 DVI VGA GBLAN SATA3 USB3 Motherboard
Cons:- no usb3 ports/plugs for front of case (old or new style)- only 2 Sata3 6GBit ports (other 2 are 3Gbit) (at this price, it doesn't realy matter, nice to be able to hook up an SSD and go full speed at this price)- only 2 ram slots (but this is what you get at this price, so not really a con)

Pros:- inexpensive- haswell (latest cpu's) socket 1150- gigabyte all solid caps- usb3 ports (on back)
Comment:
Great little board, keeps costs down and quality up. Really needs to have usb3 headers for front case usb3 port connectivity, this is really the only downside I can think of at this priceGreat for system builds unless you need front usb3 ports
