This product worked well for around 2 months and then simply went dead.

I expected a lot more from a board from Gigabyte. i hope this was simply a dud board, and not the quality of the rest of their products.

This board differs to it's bigger brother the d3p (no s) in that is has two less USB ports and a cut price sound chip. Worth saving the twenty quid because let's face it we all put in a sound blaster or make use of hdmi sound built into graphics cards, and who runs more than two or three USB devices at any one time? Oodles of features pioneered by gigabyte like quality capacitors, essential to the long life of the board, and new glass based coating on the pcb. I've always preferred gigabyte boards because statistically I have less problems with them than other brands. This board utilises the 970 chipset, not the best gigabyte make but only a short stop off the pace. We're talking microseconds difference here and who can really perceive on that scale?

I was installing linux and there are a few gotchas with this mobo with regard to the IOMMU and UEFI that you want to be careful of.
If you were installing Windows 8+ on it you'd probably have no trouble.
Once linux was on there and appropriate grub loader entries added it was fine. If that was all a bit easier or the documentation even slightly helpful it might've got 5 stars.

Surpriseingly easy to install and setup. My last M/B was a Gigabyte and when i restarted the system the drivers updated with no problem. I did have to reactivate Windows 7. But that was all. No reformating etc.

Well folks I've never been one to read too much into reviews but I purchased this board on the 14th February 2014 and it was installed and working 3 days later. Since then I've not had the SLIGHTEST problem! So make of that what you will.

I build /refurbish older computers for hard-up ex-service families who cannot afford a new computer and I donate them F.O.C. I'm a Royal British Legion Welfare Case Worker in Northumberland.

Installation into my Zalman Z7 case was easy and at present it's got a Phenom II x6 1055T cpu in and 8GB of DDR3 667 Kingston memory and a NVIDIA Ge Force 9600GT video card in and it runs an OCZ 250GB SSD. Boot-up times are 45 seconds and close-down times are a matter of a few seconds also.

My son also has the same set-up but he's got the FX 8350 cpu in and there is no problems there.

So to close, this is an excellent motherboard as far as we are concerned and we would recommend it to anyone.

I was impressed with the sata3 drivers, as my ssd drive does apparently run faster on this board compared to my last board, both set up as ahci before installing windows, the improvement is impressive. Having enough ports and slots to suit my needs for the price, a highly recommended first board for new self builders.

This motherboard is excellent and does the job it intends to do! The price is brilliant! This motherboard hasn't broken on me yet and I have been using it for 8 months. Good buy!
