Gigabyte AMD AM1 FS1b Socket HDMI D-Sub mATX Motherboard GA-AM1M-S2H

As described. Works well! It's a nice motherboard, and fits nicely with my setup. I trust Gigabyte. The driver disc is pretty nice and handy as well, as it offers a list of startup programs to download (like Adobe Reader, and a 60 day Norton security download, etc). Has a pretty nice monitoring utility as well. Would recommend.

Great little board for a simple build. My only gripe is the lack of a USB 3.0 header on the board (since so many cases come with front panel USB 3.0 ports these days.

I wish I knew this board only supported 2 SATA drives. This is a major bummer, I had to leave my DVD drive unplugged because of this. Fortunately, I rarely used the DVD drive, so I kept the board.Other than that, this is a great board. I'm running with a 25w CPU in a small enclosure and the case stays cool to the touch.

I bought this part among others to build a computer. When said computer was built, it didn't work. Unfortunately I couldn't take it to someone more exprenced with computers until I had the money to pay them for the repair. I eventually saved enough to get it looked at and was told the motherboard is defective. Came here to return it and the warranty had expired, so basically they got away with selling me a defective product. I won't buy from this company again, and I suggest not buying from them unless you have the money to also make sure they aren't selling YOU a defective product as soon as you get it.

Working great had it for several month now just one thing though it wont let me alter any clock setting with the AM1 5350 and i think the GPU is a bit slow 600Mhz is a bit slow for the 8400. No problem with Kubuntu 14.04 either this machine has not seen the likes of windows as of yet and might not. HTPC with HDHOMERUN and all the deps needed to run Netflix and also Amazon movies as well as HULU Youtube ect who the H--L needs windooos. Steam+Linux games are working as well

The Mobo will screw with any (even ps/2) keyboard upon loading ANY OS. Normally the Num Lock is the only light that should be on for notification that the computer is doing what it's supposed to. In the case of this Mobo the scroll lock light likes to come on as well and if you try to turn it off before the OS loads the light strobes and the keyboard becomes unresponsive until said OS loaded. Mice are still working fine the whole time. Linux, Windows, And a number of other OSes were tested. It seems more like a bios issue to me. So i tried to update the bios. NONE of the usb keys (i have 22 of various manufactures and storage capacity) will load. "No Disk Found" is what i get any time i try to use to the g-flash utility built into the Mobo. This could just be a very uncommon issue that i was unlucky enough to have to deal with. I will contact Manufacturer of the board to see about recommendations and fixes for the issues. Will Update Review if possible after i get a response from the company. BTW the Biostar board which has the same exact hardware attached to it runs flawlessly. Gigabyte just lost a large number of points in Quality Control when it comes to what i chose to put in my computers for the future. Not saying it doesn't run. BUT there should not be an issue like this coming from a company who makes as much money off computer components as they do. Quality control should not be a hit or miss issue. That is why it is called CONTROL.

This is a great motherboard for a mediocre PC build.mine works pretty well, especially for a first build. But one Thing they could have done better, is add a USB 3 connector for the tower case. But it is a great product, nonetheless.

Great budget MB. Features and functionality are great. Purchased this because of price and humidity protection. So far it's been flawless and solid. Very happy with this board.
