Gigabyte K8N51PVMT-9 Review

The PCB layout is generally good, especially considering the microATX form factor. As usual, we can grumble about an external video card (if you install it at all) blocking memory slot latches. Periphery and power connectors are located along motherboard edges, Serial ATA connectors are fenced. The only Clear CMOS jumper (to be more exact, two contacts to be connected with a jumper) on the motherboard is placed near a battery and is easily accessible after you install the motherboard into a PC case; there is a brief description of its functions on the PCB next to it (quite redundant in this case). There are no empty seats on the board, except for petty wiring and some minor elements (system speaker, BIOS write protection jumpers, additional audio-in, fan header…). It's the only motherboard [so far] in the series of Gigabyte models that is based on this chipset, so its PCB layout is unique.
