This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Inexpensive and great features to last beyond 5 years. Board is stable and going strong since 2009. Today it is running Windows 8.1 with 16GB RAM and almost 8TB of storage.
Cons: No cons so far. The XP set up was flawed, but that had nothing to do with the motherboard. Win 8.1 Pro is working quite well and all of the components are running well.
Other Thoughts: Bought this board in 2009 for a new legacy XP system and it worked really well with 4GB Corsair Ram, XFX HD-477A-YDFC Radeon HD 4770 512MB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 videocard and the AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz processor. On 4/23/14 I rebuilt the system with Windows 8.1 Pro, a 4TB SSHD, a 120 SSD, 16GB RAM and a PCI controller card for USB 3.0 ports. I figured, this board is so good, why upgrade it?

This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: I've had this since 2009 (5 years almost now) and have never had a problem with it. It runs great and after 5 years i've never had a problem with it. Will probably run another 5 years.
Cons: it's getting outdated.

Pros: I've had this motherboard for 2 years. It works, no problems, which is great!
Cons: I've not tried the fancier surround sound, so can't vouch for it.

Rating: 4/5Improving the score
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Now the system is very stable. What changed was an installation of Xubuntu.
Cons: The hassle of getting to this point.
Other Thoughts: I'm not sure if my previous problems were hardware or software. I assumed it was hardware, because it seemed pretty random, but with a switch to this less cutting-edge version of Linux, the crashes have stopped completely. The GPU still runs hot, and I still have a fan over it.

Rating: 5/5Nicely done
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Works great, the Onboard video runs wow nicely (only used it twice bought a proper video card gtx275) Worked well out of the box, easy install, and everyone is placed in a easy access location.
Cons: Nothing, mine looks kind of crammed with 2 video cards, but thats not the mobo's fault.
Other Thoughts: I keep products over a year before commenting, unless i have to return them. Very happy with this product. Onboard card is nice, but get a realy video card for gaming.

Rating: 4/5Not a bad board
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Not a bad board all things considered. The on-board video is great for average gaming believe it or not. It is capable of running SC2 with low settings @ 1366x768 with 30FPS, which is quite an accomplishment. WoW is playable with High settings at the same resolution with 40FPS, dropping down to 25 FPS in Dalaran. However, the FFXIV benchmark scores a measily 313, so I question the on-board video's ability to play more demanding games (both SC2 and WoW are more CPU-intensive than GPU intensive).
Cons: After about 3 months the on-board video will start to fail, causing Windows Vista to hard-lock due to WMI errors. This is fixable by going into bios and setting the on-board video to use UMA only (as opposed to Sideport + UMA or just Sideport), which leads me to believe the 128MB DDR SidePort memory is at fault.
Other Thoughts: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Processor 4GB's Crucial Ballistix DD3 1600Mhz memory (running 8-8-8-24-36-2T) 150GB IDE Hard Drive (pulled from an old computer) Sony DVD-RW Drive (pulled from old computer) Corsair 750 PSU Coolermaster HAF 922 case Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit

Rating: 5/5Very nice MB
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: Very nice looking board with all the amenities of current technology; spacious layout; upgrades easily; dual BIOS can be very handy; MIT in the BIOS is really handy for overclocking; overall, a very quality product.
Cons: The heat sink over NB is a little flimsy so be careful handling the board in that area. The IGP is slow but does the job until it is replaced with a GPU.
Other Thoughts: My old computer also had a Gigabyte MB and it's been running flawlessly for the past 6 years. Until I feel confident my new build with this MB, I am using a KVM switch between this one and my old computer. I'm running the IGP until I have enough saved for a Radeon 5xxx series card.

Rating: 2/5happy at first...
This review is from: GIGABYTE GA-MA790GPT-UD3H AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Pros: cheap, good overclocking. Nice bios options.
Cons: none immediately. good deal at the price.
Other Thoughts: yeah so 4 months later, the integrated graphics has started burning out.
4 months is not acceptable. Now what am i supposed to do, but without a computer for 3-4 weeks while i wait for a replacement? Not a happy situation.
