Received the mobo with a scratch on Am5 socket and there's a thermal paste on the bottom left of the mobo Its looks it has been used or returned by someone else, i paid for a new one I expect a new one, im returning it Read more

Great board, but it could be better, I get Gigabyte is moving away from using a hardware eclk on their modern boards, but it does impact overclockers till the software advances. GCC installed flawlessly and the RGB control is far easier than ASUS’s Aura Sync. Boot speeds are about average, the board should have a backplate but DOESNT, bios update was easy & fast, the new bios isn’t as laggy as people had initially said, and the rainbow puke can be toggled to greyscale. The overclocking is fairly easy but I’d wager that memory overclocking is better on ASUS. It’s just simpler. Plus SPD setup seems to be non functional on am5 boards. Ultimately though gigabyte needs to focus on making the amd boards look more modern. Those intel Z boards look way better and it’s pretty obvious they’re being favored. Especially with the rgb, if they could make the vrms leds any dimmer they’d be invisible. Read more

Has all the features you might need for a board you expect to keep for 5 years. This is my first AMD purchase since 2003 and I haven't been happier with a PC purchase in a long time. Great build quality, easy to setup and install, heatsinks are burly and work well, and the wifi antenna works well and easy to connect and disconnect. Read more

M.2 heatsink is too large. Had to file 1-2mm off the top side so the LED cable that goes to my CPU's waterblock could fit. No issues aside from that so far. But beware, if you're going a custom loop, you may have to do some slight modifications to make the waterblock fit. Read more

I took a risk on buying Gigabyte motherboard, it has been 15yrs since I last owned one. The past board was great & survived for over 10yrs when finally, I retired it. I mainly use ASUS, however since their recent problems, & my X670E Hero board having issues from day one, I tried ASRock, the board worked for a bit, then it started having issues, so I gave Gigabyte a chance, even though there has been security issues in the past. I was pleasantly surprised & the board has had no issues from day one, I updated the bios & all has been well. I will say that I still like ASUS bios setup better, it is easier to navigate the menus & you can use a large size thumb drive to run bios updates on. This Gigabyte board is like the ASRock as in you must use a very small size thumb drive to load bios updates from. Other than that small complaint, the board has been solid, I made sure to turn off the on board software update for their software & I also turned off the RGB, due to I do no trust their proprietary software, the last time I used it; it was horrible & I will just use other software to run the RGB, that isn't buggy. Another reason for me to want this board is that it has additional PCIe slots, I use an addon sound card, so this board accommodates that. I have had no memory issues, system boots fast runs cool, I would highly suggest anyone wanting to build on the AM5 platform to get this board. It has all major things you need, and when I purchased it, the price was cheaper than the other options.

Motherboard is exactly as advertised and works great and looks awesome! Those negative reviews are from people who bought it when it first came out and the drivers and bios were not up to date! Read more

Using this board for a few weeks and it’s been solid so far. Installation was smooth, build quality is excellent, and performance with DDR5 and M.2 has been great. Nice touches like the push-button GPU release, armored slot, and extra RAM cooling fan make it stand out. Read more
