Customer Reviews

Excellent low priced board for HTPC.
Excellent low priced board for a home theater PC. I just used a 7800 Gt PCI express video card instead of the onboard video, just popped it in the bios even disabled the onboard video for me. Easiest build ever, takes new Intel 45nm chips even, Intel Wolfdale 5200 overclocked from 2.5 ghz to 3.2 ghz without upping any voltages. Runs Blue-Rays movies easily with 2 GB ram. Been running solid for 3 months, 24/7 no problems. Buy one.

Simple board for simple needs
Pro's:

Great board, easy to use & stable, overclocks E5200 up to 3.5 ghz...

Have auto-overclock feature for both processor & memory, adjusts voltages too.

Great safety features to protect for memory & processor damage.

Nice standard features. Basic board, but get's the job done.

Has plenty of room for Drive upgrades

Board is compact, so it's an easy install in most cases, reduces build time by 10%

For the Price, you're getting a bargain.




the con's:

* No extra usb hubs provided, and limited cables provided.
* Only has 1 fan terminal, so you'll be out of luck if you like fan stats.
* 1 Legacy IDE cable slot(pretty much common with all new motherboards, but 2 would be nice)
* Limited Ram slots So no room to upgrade, so buy 4 gigs now.
* Only has 2 PCI slots.
* Has VGA port but no DVI port.(what is this 2003?)

Nice little Clocker
This is a nice little mATX board. I'm running my E2160 at 3.42 GHz. This CPU ran at 3.51 on my EP35-DS3R. I haven't tried to push it past 3.42 on this budget board, but it will probably go higher if set vcore above 1.5v Gigabyte said this board wasn't a good OC board, but I'm pretty satisfied for the $. The clocking features are very simple and easy to OC.
