  • Cool board... but I can't seem to get sound when I watch videos on Youtube.

    Any ideas ????

  • @emeraank update drivers, or roll back drivers. check the cables and the plugs. test other speakers. check settings. wipe away any settings by going to device manger and uninstalling the device and restart see if that helps.

  • How easy was the install and work? A friend bought me this Mobo and the reviews didn't look that well, but some of them did.

    I'm not going to overclock or push it past its set limit or anything.

    Thoughts?

  • it is a cheaper mobo so the chances are there will be more bad ones sent out but they can always be returned, and the name is a ok brand. install is the same as any other mobo.

    hope that helps.. good luck..

  • I just bought this thing along with 4gb patriot ddr2 800 and a E5200 and i can't get any overclock to work.

    I tried 201x12.5 but the bios will just reset everything back to default. Any ideas?

  • i dont think this board is made for OC as it is a cheap board. however it might not be the board it may be the cpu it at its max. not all cpus are the same.. your friend might buy a E5200 and it will OC really well but you might buy one from the same place and the same type and it may not OC at all.. i would go to a OC website and ask them. there is a lot more people that know more then i ever will.. good luck..

  • i have totally the same box and totally the same main board :)

  • @emachinesforever tuff thanks dude. =]

  • ...The only issue I'm having is coming out of sleep mode. I can shut it down and reboot and it fires up just fine at 3.55 ghz. I tried to take the FSB to 460 but it won't boot, so I've settled on 444 which is way above what the g31 chipset is supposed to do. Not bad for a $50 board. For my heatsink I'm using a $25 Rosewill knock off of the Arctic Freezer Pro, but I'm using Zalman thermal grease for graphics card chips. I also have a 600 watt Cooler Master 80 plus power supply.

  • I thought everyone that has this board would be interested to know I have my Q8400 at 3.55 Ghz on a 1776 FSB with this exact board. I upped the fsb to 444, which pumped my ddr2 800 mhz gskill ram to 1066 2.1 volt, left everything on auto and rebooted into Windows 7. I just knew it wouldn't post but lo and behold it booted right into the desktop. I fired up Intel Burn Test and ran a max burn 5 times in a row and it was completely stable. Load temps are low to mid 60s.

  • @j0shsz94 Windows 7 will load all the drivers you need for this board automatically. After installation was finished I checked in the device manager and all devices and drivers were installed and ready to go. No disks are needed.

  • hey dude. where can you get drivers for this. i lost the disk :S and is it compatible for Windows 7?

  • my mhoter GIGABYTE GA-G31M-S2C

    what is diferent the you?

  • i hav c2d e7400 at stock speed of 2.8 ghz and i m able tro oc it to 3.5 ghz with stock fan on this board

  • @emachinesforever thats good man!! i will get this CPU november this year :) can't believe u took FBS to 1580 lol
