not bad at all for the need of a decent older board this fits a specific need i personally have for a rebuild .
the ideal processor was in hand as the other gigabyte board was faulty ( quite rare with gigabyte i really need to say that )
but price was an issue buying gigabyte for a less budget rebuild .
this board would do all the other functions the old board did on the same exact cpu socket type .
and i needed to fit 16 gigs of ddr3 ram 8 of which i purchased and fitted without any issues in amazon .
the board itself is dark brown and not too unsightly seeing as its not on display in my case .
the board was rebuilt with many other parts i already had from a broken pc from what was mainly used by a semi pro gamer for battlefield 3 and 4.
so the rebuild would be an improvement on the old broken gigabyte board for him .
i fitted easily and finding the right board was the issue at first until i had searched amazon for a while .
perhaps not the best board around but still worth it rather than a new set up and a wasted cpu lying around collecting dust .
so it was overall once built a good system again and my friend is pleased with the new oem windows 7 with an overnight upgrade from microsoft to save time .got the updates done while asleep and woke to get the system rebooted (WHY WAIT ) i considered downloading the latest updates for the month . but went ahead and gave the pc back to my friend . so a good board replacement on the 1155 socket type .
intel board with no issues yet . it should last until windows 7 is not supported or parts decay .
i checked the board with a fine light and see no imperfections in the soldering in this board .
no reballing the socket as its new and came in a plain looking box so no fancy packaging , but a quick start guide and driver disc is all that is needed anyway should you need it. buti suggest any bios updates be done and are always needed anyway .
minus ...
does not support everything but what does .limited to 16 gig ram and an older 2.0 not the 3.0 usb i prefer .
but what do you want for the money.
