The packaging was great thanks to flipkart and the seller ;) But,be aware you guys that this mobo has only ONE system fan header :/ weird,because usually Gigabyte Mobo come with Min. 2-3 of them. NVM,i got it for an HTPC and off course,i didn't want any fancy,costly$$$ stuff for it.

THE PROS AND THE CONS:-

Pros- 1.Great looking Motherboard.
2.Supports the Latest CORE series chips.LGA 1150 socket and
3.Off course GIGABYTE quality and the warranty is always there

I have bought this motherboard last year. This is a good mother board. It is equipped with Ultra durable technology which means its capacitors are of superior quality which i personally checked. You can charge your phones of the USB 3.0 ports when the computer is off is quite cool. It also comes with Lightning protection.
The inbuilt sound is pretty good and it takes on board graphics from processor.

This Motherboard is made for budget builds, but why waste money on a motherboard when you c...

This is really good MB for 4th Gen Intel Processor. I've bought this with Intel G3258.

Pros: Durable, Easy Bios, Can overclock my Pentium G3258.( I've searched the internet for whether I can overclock or not with this MB, but I didn't got a clear answer. Really you can overclock easily with Gigabyte easytune utility.)

Cons: No front usb3!! I'm taking out one star for that.

I am using this motherboard for past few months,one of the best motherboards i have ever used in this budget,(Used intel and asus motherboards before), Runs cool,just 28 Degrees,Supports DDR3 1600 Xmp Profile,PCI E -2.0, of course its not 3.0 but difference between 2.0 and 3.0 is hardly noticed.This is my budget built.
Specs:
Core i5 4690 3.90Ghz
16GB DDR3 1600 HyperX
ASUS GTX 750Ti 2GB GDDR5
ANTEC VP450P
Running Windows 8.1 Pro 64 Bit
I can run BF4 maxed out which gives around 30-40fps.

Hi Friends, few times back i had recommended Gigabyte GA-H81M to one of my friend and surprised to see company like Gigabyte doing cheap tactics of removing so many features from their Motherboard and hiding it from us to cut down their cost. In Future i will never think of upgrading my system with Gigabyte Motherboards. I do not feel comfortable recommending them though.

Only 1 pciE slots

No inbuit support the 5.1 sounds system and i cannot use an External sound card since only one pciE.

No. of capacitors around CPU area reduced from 3 to 2, per phase which differ from actual specification and results CPU overload.

what i feel is - If see the product u wont b able to see any difference with the revision models.
They don’t mention revision version on the front box & not on even website.
They made changes where buyer can not find the parts easily.
So friends keep your eyes open before buying these motherboards of Gigabyte.

It's a great product it has all features support 4th Generation Intel..the only problem i faced is that it doesn't have front panel USB 3 connector only at the back panel..the rest is all fine.

Been using it for more than 6 months. No issues.

Good
