Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 Motherboard
Conclusions
Contents
Although it uses the microATX form factor, the Gigabyte G1.Sniper M3 is a high-end motherboard, targeted to users who want to build a small yet powerful PC.
Its highlights include the presence of three PCI Express x16 slots (supporting both CrossFireX and SLI), which are great to see on microATX motherboards, and a high-end audio codec from Creative. Also worth mentioning are the overclocking capability in 0.01 MHz increments, the presence of two BIOS chips, and support for three PWM fans.
Motherboards using the standard ATX form factor may bring more SATA-600 and USB 3.0 ports, but we understand that it is very hard to squeeze so many ports on a microATX motherboard.
The price of this motherboard is not bad for all the features it brings, so it is a really nice choice if you are building a small form factor computer for playing games and carrying it around.
