Mostly very good in Computers & Accessories

It has room for multiple graphics cards, but if you want to fit 2 twice the size graphics cards on this board, good luck finding a case that won't fit the cards. rub directly on the power supply. I finally found the case (Rosewill Rise), but it's absolutely huge. Unlike most other boards, this motherboard has all the chips/intrinsics needed to run multiple graphics cards at full speed on the PCI-e bus, as long as you don't choose a Sempron for your processor.

Pros
  • Special Offer
Cons
  • For Old

Great board with one exception

I bought this board with AMD 8350 and 16GB Corsair Vengence and AMD 7970 a lot of software to use with the board like OC Genie, ClickBIOS and some others. The biggest feature to get used to is ClickBios. ClickBios is an interactive BIOS menu that is similar to a smartphone menu. It doesn't have the usual sections for changing settings, so you'll have to do a bit of searching. The great thing about ClickBios is that you can also load it when you boot into Windows. My only downside is that it…

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • There are new competitors

This motherboard meets all my expectations for a PC upgrade I have, love the AMD FX 8350 processor compatibility. I recommend it.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Hard to say

Excellent motherboard

Hi everyone, I was very surprised when I bought this as I got a very good motherboard at a good price, the thing isn't a big deal but looks good design.BIOS beautiful, easy to use, and has motherboard modes such as eco-friendly and high performance. The drivers for this motherboard were released between 2014 and 2016, so we can update them to the latest version. I used it with windows 10 home edition and it worked fine, i think it would work fine on linux. The performance of this motherboard is

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Makes me angry

Bought for only $90 and it was a great upgrade

Lots of overclocking features. I would say this board is this year's benchmark and one of the best value good motherboards out there. Quite a large board so I would suggest having a large case to accommodate it, a medium tower would hardly fit as my large AzzA Hurrican 2000 fits almost perfectly.

Pros
  • Builds confidence
Cons
  • Can't remember

Expected features are hard to get

Pros: 1. Good build2. Clear the CMOS on the back panel, do not open the case3. boots relatively fast 4. Some pins have been provided to make Power+HDD LED/Power button etc., which simplifies the installation of Cons1. I bought this MB thinking I could overclock. I have the exact same chipset/processor in 2 other Gigabyte UD3 MBs so this is my 3rd build with FX990 chipset + FX8350 processor. With the Gigabyte MB, I overclocked it to 4.4 GHz with no voltage change and to 4.8 GHz with about 10%…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Great board for the price and for my gaming use!

Has everything an AMF board should have and more. Pros: BIOS IN AND OUT FROM WINDOWS, USB 3.0, 990fx/nb950, works with AM3 and AM3+, 4 system fans and 1 CPU fan connector, onboard 6-pin PCI-E connector for newer cards, latest BIOS already updated, external CMOS -Reset if the OC crashes. I was able to overclock my G.Skill Sniper 1333 to 1600 with 1 change while in windows with one click bios. The sound is of very good quality. Cons: none yet. I can recommend it to anyone looking for a cheap…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I will add later
