Strengths: -Works excellent with Windows XP, Vista, 7 -Works with Ubuntu 9.04 -Most compatible board that I use for OSX Hackintosh - Leopard and Snow Leopard -Solid Caps -Easy/Safe Bios updating using @BIOS Weaknesses: +5vsb cannot be disabled - F9 Bios does not fix the slow USB boot - No AHCI mode Summary: Overall this board is awesome and I love it. The 1st board was defective. Mwave replaced it right away, no questions asked! Great support! I had some minor problems with my newly received board. When you turn off your computer, the USB devices currently plugged in will NOT turn off. This is normal behavior because of the +5VSB standby power. The problem is you CANT disable it - either using short pins or inside the BIOS. I also confirmed with Gigabyte that you cant turn it off. So you have to remember to unplug your USB devices when you leave the house, otherwise, it will consume power. +5vsb is a great new feature, I just wish you can disable it. Other motherboards can. - When I boot from a USB bootable device, it is so slow. It only runs in USB 1.1. Talked with Gigabyte and they sent me an F10 bios and it was fixed. They havent d their website yet so If you need it, ask for it. -Does not support Hot Swap because there is no AHCI mode in BIOS.Read full review
I have one of these boards already, it is a great value, old is gold. Ok for overclocking. Get watercooling to get the full overclocking advantage.
