Short of making sure you re using the proper stand-offs and plugging in the ATX power and case connectors, there really is nothing to it. The physical quality of the GA-7VX is very good. As we ve come to expect from Gigabyte products, the workmanship is excellent.
All traces are clean and every item mounted on the board was sturdy and tight.
Gigabyte put some thought into the layout of the board as well. The slot configuration of this board is our second favorite type. We would have preferred 6 PCI slots, but the 5 PCI slot configuration where the AMR slot is shared with the ISA slot is still a fine choice. Should you have to use the ISA or AMR slot, you would still have access to all 5 PCI slots. The layout of the audio connectors is also well thought out.
