Gigabyte GA-M52L-S3P
operating system:
OtherThis motherboard is a great board from Gigabyte. You dont get all that much in the box except the basics but what do you expect for the price. The thing I liked most about the board is the fact that it comes AM3 ready and it states so on the box, so if you have a phenom 2 cpu as I do it will work with this board. You may need a bios update but I can state that the AMD X3 720 BE works without any updating so just pop it in the board and of you go. The board is an ATX board wich a prefer to the MATX boards ive had in the past an this board will support up to 16GB of ram too which is ample for even the hardcore gamer. Over all this is a great board I would rate this to anyone. Oh and it comes with a case sticker too, bet that swung it for you to get one :)
Hope this helps
Nice board
operating system:
OtherGreat value for money with this board, fitted nicely into product # 134798, with a phenom x4 9650 and a gtx260.
No problems fitting any components and no issues after having this extensively used for a month.
Running windows 7 64 bit no problem.
note about ram
operating system:
Windows XPi ordered 2.1v 800Mhz in error, specs for the board state needs to have 1.8, however i installed it anyway, booting up was slow/choppy and bit unstable so by going into bios intelligent tweaker i have the volts for ram right up on the highest setting and now the ram performs great, boot up time very fast, everything just really fast, its great.
overclocking with this board is a breeze so if u want to overclock then consider this board as your 1st choice.
my only gripe is it has just x2 sata connectors onboard although the board does have soldered points for x2 more, wud have been nice to have those x2 missing connections (slap on wrist to gigabyte for not putting them there)
1.6.6 problem solved
For anybody buying this board and putting a amd 9950BE in go to gigabytes website and bownload the @BIOS utility and download the F3 version othewise you will only get 1.6.6 download dont pick the bios from server thru program go to website and upgrade from file
