Review on 💻 GIGABYTE GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 2.0) Motherboard by Mateusz Jamroz ᠌

1. For me, this motherboard started from without flashing the BIOS with a four-core north central processor Xeon E5450, modified from socket 771 to socket 775 (also until this moment, until the above-mentioned CPU came from AliExpress, the motherboard worked with two hyperstumps (32- a 64-bit Pentium 4 531 and a 64-bit Pentium 4 631. A screenshot of the Speccy program confirming the operation of this motherboard with a Xeon E5450 CPU is attached to this review. 2. Included with this board in the box are: a plug (bar) to the motherboard on the back of the system unit, one IDE cable, two SATA cables, as well as a warranty card for the motherboard. 3. This motherboard is a hybrid (supports different connectors for connecting information storage devices (HDD, SSD (to mount solid-state drives in the system unit case, you need to buy adapter sleds from 2.5 "to 3.5") and a CD / DVD RW drive) , as well as different types of RAM (DDR 2 and DDR3), which makes it an excellent choice for a smooth upgrade with a gradual replacement of components. For the most inquisitive: different types of RAM do not work simultaneously (either DDR2 or DDR3). 4. You won't believe it, but this mother can still overclock (the BIOS has both a light overclocking option on the bus, and a one with raising the voltage by a percentage and for memory). I haven’t overclocked it, because I still have a boxed cooler with a copper nickel (without your heat pipes) and old-school KPT-8 thermal paste (and not a stylish, fashionable, youth thermal G900 from Alik). 5. On this motherboard, all capacitors are solid-state, and they will last a long time and will not swell soon, unlike electrolytic capacitors.
