Just awesome.

Its been two months I have bought this, and so, far its 100% functional

Many Gigabyte motherboards have this issue and mine too started suffering from it 1 year after purchase. Battery replaced, battery connectors cleaned, but to no avail. Computer starts. Turns itself off. Restarts again 2-3 times and then finally works properly. A real pain in the back. Apparently, a lot of people are facing this problem, but a lot of search on the internet cannot provide any remedy.

Motherboard performance good, I bought this last month and till date its perfoamce is very even and really a good product to bu for this amount.

Using it for an year now. No issue till date; touch-wood :P. Best for this price. I just feel one con in mobo that is lack of usb 3 which is very common now.

SUPPORTS UPTO CORE I7 PROCESSOR, LOW COST, GOOD PRODUCT FROM GIGABYTE.
SUPPORTS UPTO 1333 MHZ RAM.
LACK OF PCI CARD ONLY.
