I got the rev 5.0 which is a black board....
If ur looking to build a budget pc this is the mobo u want

I wanted a cheap board for a relatively basic build. But I did want USB 3.0. This board has two ports on the back and a header for a front USB port if your case has one, mine luckily did. It was a Cooler Master Elite 372 bought right here on flipkart. Also I had to buy a Radeon HD5450 because this board has "ATI Radeon 3000" graphics and after searching for it's drivers for hours I couldn't find any. And anyone who has an AMD GPU knows you have to overscan the display through CCC right after ...

USB3, 4 DDR3 slots, inbuild graphics can run Watch Dogs in low settings (powered with AMD FX-6300), PCIE x16 slot, and all these in 4k! What can be better ! Thanks WS Retail for fast service, and Flipkart always is the best!

I ordered this product October 2013. It came with an additional damage protection box with airbags. Had a good experience from ordering to delivery to installation to usage. Its 10 months now and still working fine. Am using it with an AMD FX6300 Proc.
Invoice copy could be better placed inside the package...

MAIN FEATURES-

1. FRONT USB 3.0 SUPPORT.
2. 2 NOS USB 3.0 PORTS(BACK SIDE)
3.REV 5.0 MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTS 1600MHZ RAM(FLIPKART SHIPS REV 5.0 MOTHERBOARD WHICH IS LATEST BIOS UPDATE).
4.SUPPORTS AMD FX-8350 PROCESSOR.
5.LOW COST.
6.IDE PATA SUPPORT(FOR OLD TYPE)

This motherboard build quality is ultimate . I got rev5.0 which is dark brown in colour and flipkart packing is superb.I just overclock my fx 6300 to 4.1ghz its cool even at this clock about 40-42'c.I love my Gigabyte......

I have AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor, in shop seller said Gigabyte 970A-DS3 mother board is supported with this processor.

But problem is after 6 months my friend said this mother board (Gigabyte 970A-DS3) can not give required power to AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor.

Please any body help me this motherboard is supported to AMD FX-8350 8-Core Processor.
Please let me know.

Thanks in Advance

Super performance with Athlon X2. Tried HDMI with LG IPS Monitor not so good. Booting speed is very good.

I bought this product on Apr 4, 2014. Flipkart shows rev 4.1 version of gigabyte motherboard in their product picture and also the product details shows the details of rev 4.1 version of this motherboard. But actually WS retail delivers 5.0 rev version of this motherboard(other sellers are selling 4.1 i think so when i asked query to flipkart customer care).

Important thing to note:
rev 4.1 version requires bios update to F3 (initially bios version is F1) to make fx 4300, 6300, 8350 and othe...

Its has all the features Usb 3.0 on-board Hd display only thing it lacks is sata 6.0 gbps that is because of the older chip-set version of AMD board performance and sound is also as good as any board i give it 4 out of 5 for features at low price
