What Others Say
Great energy efficient board
I was using an older Pentium 4 system for my Media center, and was looking for something with more power and efficiency.
I paired this motherboard with an AMD 4850e processor, which only requires 45 watts.
This runs quiet and and the onboard video has enough power to run my HD-DVD and Blu-ray titles. I haven't tried gaming since it is a dedicated HTPC and sits by my TV. I have a seperate computer for games.
When purchasing this board, make sure you look for the 1.1 revision. Gigabyte has revised the Northbridge heatsink. The one pictured here is flat, while the new Bridge is shaped different and has a taller heatsink. The Northbridge gets very hot to the touch on the older heatsink.
