GIGABYTE GA-A75M-D2H FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3) HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

Pros: Low price
Excellent support from vendor site
Fast
Reliable

Cons: Only one PCi-E express port

Other Thoughts: I bought 2 of these, one is running Ubuntu system and the other is running 64-bit Windows 7 every day, pretty much all day for 9 months. I haven't had any problems except briefly the Realtek optical driver would make the sound fade in and out. I just downloaded drivers from Oct 2012 that fixed the problem.

Pros: 1. Worked great at first

Cons: 1. After 3 months of minimal usage, some components on the board died. First it was the video hardware on the board. It comes with an ATI hardware, but it failed. It would cause the computer to freeze up and pixelized screen after like 30 mins usage. That could be replaced easily by a video card. I was going to buy a video card then anyways. Not a big deal. But then the PCI slot where I have my wifi adapter failed. So now I cannot use the internet with the computer. So I will be returning this junk. Gigabyte makes good products, but stay way from their motherboards for sure.

Pros: No idea. Never booted. Only got 1 egg because it was necessary to submit. Should be 0.

Cons: DOA

Other Thoughts: Got this as part of a DIY bundle, put it together and got no power when trying to turn it on. Thought it was the power supply, and got that replaced. Turns out it wasn't, and now I need to get a replacement by the time I go back to school (in a week and 2 days) when it took over a week for the first replacement.

Pros: Lots of expansion ports
Works with the APU (Kind of a duh?)
USB 3.0 native, very nice
6 SATA ports. Wonderful for filesharing servers.
The letter E. =)
Tons of BIOS features.
Very customizable.

Cons: Has issues with the HDMI sound
Many other beautiful quirks
BIOS need updating. I recommend updating to the F5 BIOS.

Other Thoughts: Not a bad board, I originally thought this was a board that needed a lot of help because of all the negative reviews, but I jumped the gun a bit too fast, it was the hard drive that was failing. *facepalming as I write this, not to worry*

Pros: Okay, I like this board, its got lots of features for very cheap.

Cons: Freezes a lot. This is my first build, and I have put lots of work into it, as it was going to run a server for me, however, whenever I try to boot into Ubuntu it freezes, no responses, and has multicolored lines across the screen, this happens with both HDMI and regular D-bus. And its not just the OS, I have it dual-booting Windows 7, and it does the same thing. I have it coupled with the APU that was in the bundled package and 8 GB of Corsair RAM.

Other Thoughts: If I could go back and get a different board, I would. It doesn't like HDMI audio, and its a bit hard to run a server from a computer that freezes in such a way.

Pros: Fit perfectly into my case, works nicely

Cons: the only reason im docking an egg is because of a faulty RAM slot that is loose

Pros: Compact, low power. Used to build a HTPC. HD & SD video played through the HDMI port great as did music, photo's and live TV. Went into and out of sleep mode almost as fast as a STB.

Cons: Purchased in May, Died after 3 months. Have read other reviews that the board died after several weeks or months. Built 2 with this board. hope the other HTPC doesn't die.

Other Thoughts: I've always had very good luck w/ Gigabyte in so far as performance and reliability. This board is a real disappointment.

Pros: Unknown. Never booted up.

Cons: Came as a bundle from Newegg. Built it. Never booted up. No beep, no video, no computer. Called Newegg to start return policy for the MoBo. Excellent service and received RMA code with UPS shipping label. Now we wait to get a new one which is a great disappointment because my son worked all summer to buy his first computer build and now has to wait longer. Hopefully this will be a good learning experience and he will continue to want to enjoy the experience of building his own system. He has already looked into a DELL, great googly moogly.

Pros: This motherboard is great and amazing for the price. I got this with an A8-3850k when newegg had a combo deal with it. The board works great so far, tested under GW2 Final beta, and other MMO. The feature of this board are great and runs everything smooth.

Cons: none!

Other Thoughts: This is my first APU system and so far I love it. Is fast, play game smooth, have no error or blue screen. I always trust Gigabyte for their nice work with their motherboards. This is by far a keeper. If you looking for a cheap build that will not break the bank. I would recommend this motherboard with the A8-3850k APU. With fast Ram 8GB DDR3 1600 or 1866 you will enjoy what this motherboard has to offer. ;) love the Overclocking Utilities as well.

Pros: Easy installation
HDMI
Comes with a regiment of softwares (special mention to Face wizard Gadget that lets you customize the boot screen picture)

Cons: Conflicts happen between the RealTek drivers and the AMD drivers when you install a discretes graphics card.
It is an easy fix though. If you use your graphics cardas output, just desinstall Realtek studio.
The HD image is not really crisp on my 1080p LG flat screen.

Other Thoughts: AMD A6
8GB Corsaire Vengeance
Sapphire HD7770 Gh edition
