Review on ๐Ÿ’ป GIGABYTE GA-B150-HD3 DDR3 Motherboard (Revision 1.0) by Elena Kovalkov แ Œ

Revainrating 2 out of 5

You should not take it, it does not meet any standards.

Unable to install windows 7 (both original and assembly). Specialists from the Gigabyte support claim that you can install windows 7 if itcomsts Skylake percent. But in fact, it is impossible to install the original images, presumably due to the crooked BIOS. (I have Skylake i3 6300) It was possible to install Windows Server 2022 R2, but USB andnetwork adapters do not work after installation. Tried both WiFi andNetwork cards from D-Link and TP-Link. The BIOS is not fully translated and probably they are unlikely to deal with it . The BIOS does not have an IDE option in the SATAcomnfiguration settings. Moreover, there is a choice option, but when choosing only 1 AHCI option. (I quote support Gigabute "There never was an IDE mode. This mode has long been removed from the SATAcomntroller operating modes. ") When asked how to install 7, the answer is the following "Burn the Windows 7 IMAGE to a USB flash drive using the Windows USB Install Tool" utility: In the BIOS, under OS type, set Other OS. Then install Windows 7. " I didnโ€™t try to install sema through the disk, and itโ€™s notcomnvenient either! 2022 and the disks are already quite outdated and a long version of the installation of the operating system . Personally, I was disappointed in Gigabyte products and in Support too. And with a probability of 90% I will not buy their products again, and I will not recommend them to anyone . You can, ofcomurse, hand it over for warranty service, but then I will remain at work without a job, and no one will pay me a simple one .

Pros
  • Yes, nothing really. It works fine.
Cons
  • 1) The biggest drawback is that it is not possible to install windows 7, windows server 2022 and below, respectively. 2) SATA Express does not work. 3) Curve BIOS 4) Based on the above price. According to Gigabyte support, it is. But in fact, it is impossible to install the original images due to the crooked BIOS, which lacks the IDE parameter (only AHCI). but after installation, USB does not work
