Killer E2200 question.

[neiz]

Hi!

Im geting Gigabyte g1 Sniper z87 and some tells me that i should avoid this mobo because it have Killer E2200 network and that its the worse you can have and that i should take one whit Intel instead, is it true or its just like nvidia vs amd fanboy war to the death?

I like all the features on this card like good onboard audio and other stuff. If this mobo really bad do you know a good one whit same features as this one?

I've had no problems with it, but that's just me,you can also get the ROG hero

I had problems with mine on my MSI MPower MAX, but it was because of the drivers that are complet garbage and from what I learned, using the ethernet driver included on the driver CD was the only way to resolve my problem since the drivers that are available on their website are just bad and caused problems.

hmm thats not good, most of ppl who hade the problem whit kille have msi mobos.

No problem with the adapter itself. The only thing that didn't work for me was that bundled software to monitor the network trafic and prioritize it. It caused a memory leak so my RAM was getting full after a day or two. I just desactivated the monitoring part and it's all good. It's not like I cared about it...

it feels strange to buy a new mobo and have problems with network from the beginning, feels like they don't care and won't fix the problem because a read ppl complaining about same problem starting from last year

If you like the mobo, then get it. If it does not work properly, you can always disable it and get a cheap ethernet expansion card.

I have that card on my mobo, using latest Killer drivers (1.1.38.1281) and 0 problems.

All i heard were windows 8 problems but w8 has problems with alot of cards, specially wireless.

I have the Killer Ethernet as well for my Z87-GD65 motherboard and I have no problems with mine. Just don't use the controller for the Killer ethernet.

I had some problems in the beginning but after getting the latest drivers off the qualcomm website everything got fixed and I'm really happy with it.
The drivers on the MSI website (I've got a Z87 gd65 gaming) weren't up to date.

I had the same thing happen to me. Good thing I downloaded the drivers from Qualcomm's website.
