Not much more I could ask for in a board - simple design, lots of features and just works right out of the box with my ram kit. I am VERY happy with the reinforced slots, but one thing I would change is the Primary M2 slot - the cooler included ended up hitting my AIO (Liquid Freezer 3), so i had to use the crucial t705 included water block, but modify the slot a bit by taking off the thermal tape, top allow the auto latch to click (the t705 had a built in cooler, that raised it a bit). Overall VERY HAPPY with my purchase. I'd say 4.5 out of 5 stars because of the height issue with the m2 slot (maybe include multiple heights??)

I don't make reviews often, but I can't let this one go. Worst motherboard I have ever owned, the amount of issues it brought was unbelievable and I knew I should have trusted my gut from the start by not buying this. From the standoffs not being able to be screwed in properly because of this board's weird dimensions, to the obnoxious amount of bloatware it requires/installs (yes, it actually installs McAfee in 2025), to the M.2 thermal pads being damaged, to the motherboard screws literally getting jammed if you drop them a single time, to internet speeds being throttled MASSIVELY. I give up, a motherboard should not be this annoying to use, I've built countless PC's and I have never encountered a disaster like this. Motherboards have always been the easiest part. Most of the time building this rig was fighting this abomination of design. This is a clear example of too good to be true. Sure, it has good specs on paper. But in concept it's laughably bad. Thank goodness I ordered this on Amazon, Gigabyte customer support was beyond insufferable. When it comes to motherboards, stay away from Gigabyte.

Feliz con mi tarjeta madre.No hubo necesidad de actualizar driver para un 7800x3D.Sin embargo se actualizó después sin problemas.

Product has manufacturing defect from the day I received, motherboard has booting issue, display problem

UPDATE:This board now has a failing USB chip, and it locks up the desktop on Linux occasionally, when you least expect it. There is a way to block the kernel from trying to use that chip/USB, but I will have to deal with this at another time. Considering the cost of this motherboard, I will not be buying Gigabyte motherboards anymore if I can help it. To be fair, I have had some use out of this brand however for a while. But, it's time to find another brand. All I want (and maybe others?) is for stuff to work as advertised. Once a product does this, I (and others?) will be happy to buy it, even if it costs a bit more. In my experience, you get what you pay for.....sometimes.This boards seems pretty decent. Using Linux.Hardware and performance...AM5 socket, DDR5, support for PCIE 5.0 card and two PCIE 5 nvme SSD drives (sticks) - supported by CPU. Other slots are PCIE 4/3. One slot is shared with onboard SATA port(s). The last 2 ports if I recall correctly.HDMI, DP 1.4 from integrated video from AMD CPU.WiFi 6E/Bluetooth 5.3, included an antenna, Ethernet 2.5 Gbps - Intel i255-V chip. That's the one I got.2 Mini 3.5" audio jacks, Line out and Mic In, SPDIF. Line out supports headphones 2 ch, front speakers: 4, 5.1, 7.1 channels. Mic In jack supports mic in (duh...lol) and supports rear speakers: 4, 5.1, 7.1 channels. There is front panel header on board for your case connections if you have that. Make sure your case supports front panel supports the board header. Uses a Realtek ALC1220 chip.Lots of USB support - 1.0/2.0 (black ports), 3.2 Gen 1 on board and back of board (the old name was 3.0...blue ports), 3.2 Gen 2 (red ports 10Gbps) with one that has DP 1.4 Alt-Mode (back of motherboard USBC), 3.2 gen 2x2...20Gbps..on header and usbc back of boardLED headers for CPU and strips, noise sensor header, voltage sensor header, temp sensors, plus the standard led connections for your LED case..power, reset, etc, fans, pumps...SATA ports, M.2 slots.Slow booting because it does a lot of checking on boot up (from what I can tell). I got board version 1.0 - lots of BIOS updates (DDR5 RAM seems very sensitive to overclocking). Can overclock well with the proper RAM. Get the latest BIOS (thank you AMD for the updates) and flash it to the motherboard for better hardware support and much better overclocking of memory. It's a heavy board and size is E-ATX. Need a case that can support this size.Board does look good, many layers to this board (8 I think). As for durability, I don't know yet as it's a complicated board. However, the last motherboard I bought was a Gigabyte motherboard in 2013 (over 10 years old). It still works (except a USB chip/controller) is failing now. I still use it though because my operating systems that I use still work fine. And the USB seems to work ok - the O.S. tells me about the errors though in the system logs.Will support USB 4.0 with addon card from Gigabyte. Need to see about getting the card.There is a nice case that works well for this Aorus motherboard (Anidees ai-crystal xl pro). Expensive but it supports a lot of motherboards and is very versatile with new and old tech. You can get them from Amazon. Thanks Amazon!The price is too high compared to other motherboards, but I continue to buy Gigabyte motherboards based on my history of them making good boards. If their quality goes down I will find/recommend another motherboard manufacturer.

Like all of the AM5 motherboards right now this thing is way WAY overpriced for what you get. If it was AM4 it would've been around $250 or so for most of the same features.That is the main reason I took stars off.The motherboard OEM's claim its due to the increased costs from the socket, materials from inflation, and the 8 layer requirement with more copper to allow for the best possible signal integrity for PCIe 5.0 for whatever that is worth. They might possibly be right but it still seems ridiculous to me. Server motherboards have had some of these features with HUUUGE sockets, WAY more complex memory set ups, and similar prices for a while now for instance! Adding RGB does NOT cost that much!!!Feature-wise the board is solid and has lots of good stuff. Its very well made so I wouldn't be surprised if it easily lasts longer than 5yr. BIOS support is usually good too from Gigabyte. Where Gigabyte's rep goes bad is on the v1.x revisions that they tend to do for all their products. They usually start cutting corners to improve their bottom line so watch out for that!This is however a v1.0 board so I'm not worried.Having lots of M.2 slots is a standout feature for this board, and it is cool, but I think they went a bit overboard with the heatsinks. Or at least how they're attached. Beaware that if you're wanting to use M.2 to U.2/3 adapters with cables attached that you won't be able to do it. The heatsinks are used as retention devices for the M.2 drives and the adapters won't fit under them.Also its pretty hard to get at the battery if you need to remove it. Its hidden under a heatsink as well and requires taking the motherboard out of the case to get at. In my opinion that is a mistake. I dunno how many times I've had to pull the power cord AND battery to get a BIOS to clear properly! Being able to do so quickly and easily is a big deal for troubleshooting!I also would've perferred if the 2 PCIe slots would've been able to support x8 PCIe 4.0 instead of more M.2. I can always get a M.2 adapter if need be but I'm stuck with a x4 and x2 PCIe 4.0 slots respectively which is a disappointment since I want to run some 10Gbe NIC's.Provided documentation is barely existent with this board FYI. It wasn't a issue for me because I've been putting PC's together for a long time but I don't like that only very basic IKEA-esque paper fold outs were in the box. I would've preferred a good paper manual to all the stickers and stuff!Stability has been rock solid at defaults and not bad when pushing the overclocking settings. There is of course the overvoltage issue with all AM5 motherboards but that seems to have been fixed with BIOS updates that have AGESA 1.0.0.7 or higher.I don't think I ever went over 1.3v anyways on the SOC line for what its worth and yes I have a 7800 X3D and yes I checked in HWinfo. The overclocking capabilities of this board far exceed what you can do with air cooling by the way. You'd really have to resort to LN2 to get to the point where the VRM or motherboard would be getting serious stressed. So don't worry about that.Memory overclocking is incredibly RAM and CPU dependent right now with AM5. For me the BIOS I've used has hardly mattered at all. About the best anyone can do is something like 6600 and that is with a golden CPU and RAM with air or water cooling. The good news is that 5600 or 6000 are much easier to pull off. And that 6000 is the 'sweet spot' for AMD right now due to how the memory controller and IF bus work when in sync. Going higher than that won't get you much in real world applications anyways since they'll be out of sync.I strongly, STRONGLY, suggest you get a memory kit that supports EXPO at 6000 or 5600 with lowest timings you can and just turn it on and forget it. Manual overclocking the RAM on AM5 is easier than Intel right now (AMD's memory controller is more predictable) but its still a huge time sink to get it working right. XMP can work on this motherboard but its a real step down vs EXPO since EXPO gives you the AMD optimized secondary and tertiary timings too.All of that is true with 2x sticks of RAM right now. If you want to use 4x sticks of RAM then the best you'll likely achieve is around 4800. Even that might be a stretch! Right now Intel is a little better for reaching higher clocks with 4x sticks but even on a 13700K getting past 5600, and keeping it stable, is usually difficult.Its looking DDR5 is the touchiest and most difficult RAM to overclock that I've ever seen! I'm hoping it improves over time much as things did with AM4.Looks are subjective but I think it looks great. If you don't like the RGB stuff its easy to turn off in the BIOS. Hmmm what else? Oh yeah don't install Gigabyte's crapware. Its basically spyware that keeps trying to install Norton and other garbage on you and totally unecessary! Make sure to turn off the BIOS option to install it everytime you update the BIOS too because it'll reset.Anyways, its a solid board it just needs to come down about $200!

TLDR: If you have to buy online, don't buy a Gigabyte board. Did everything they asked, they never tested my motherboard to replicate the issue accurately (used eng samples for cpu instead of the same CPU I has having issues on). Sent me a refurbished board instead of a replacement.Fair warning, as I guess with most if not all online purchases. You only have so long to return the product before you're out of luck. I'm having issues with this motherboard currently, and by the time that Gigabyte support had run me through everything to test and change, it was too late to return it to Amazon.Upon learning that, I was directed to the warranty repair portal, which I apparently need to ship the motherboard and everything to them for them to look at it? I can't just send back the motherboard for RMA... For the price I paid, I was hoping for a lot better...Save yourself the hassle, go find a local spot to buy or order from if you can.Update - RMA folks confirmed that I just need to send in the motherboard.Just don't buy from Gigabyte. When you RMA it back, you have to pay for the shipping yourself. There's no contact, they don't ask to clarify. I provided a ton of details showing that sometimes the motherboard works okay for a day or two before it'll start up. But I've been unable to contact or get feedback from them or to them.The last note they provided on the case is "Process Result: Product test ok, update firmware.". It certainly does not test okay. I suspect they've just ignored all the notes and details provided and I just wasted 100$ trying to get a motherboard I spent a lot of money on to work.Update #2 - Didn't hear back from them until I called the Canadian Office. BTW, it's their office number, doesn't show up as the RMA contact number. I was emailing the right place, I had emailed a few times during the week with no reply. They finally did when I called in.They said I can reply with tests I would like them to perform to replicate the issue.I told them it takes 1-2 days sometimes for the issue to occur. They replied that they tested for 20 hours and there was no issue.I told them the onboard video is wonky. They tested with a separate video card.I told them it happens more often with a 7950X CPU, and they haven't gotten back to me. But the testing rig they showed had an air cooler, which is concerning for a 7950X...More and more, I'm either getting this POS back or they're going to ship it, it's going to get smashed in transit, and because they don't accept responsibility for dmg, I'm screwed.Oh, and the customer complaint line? It's the same # and extension you call for the RMA Support. That's helpful!Update 3 - Just heard back, they're not going to test with what I requested. Just found out they're not testing with the same CPU I reported the issue with. It's an engineering sample. They're not willing to test for 2 days or with the onboard video.Update 4 - They tried with the onboard video, which seemed okay, but I couldn't tell if they got it up to a proper disk resolution. They've shipped it back, noting that it tested out fine and there were no issues.I was welcome to send them a video of the issue, and they'd review.Update 5 - Sent a video showing the issue, they wouldn't confirm if this time around it would be any different or not. The RMA page didn't even update with the results. They just sent my original box back, with what looks like a refurbished board. Same m.2 slots were already used and dinged and the Serial Number sticker isn't quite attached. I'm not going to be surprised if this refurbished board is my original board with a new sticker and a few new screws in it.

I'm currently going through the RMA process with Gigabyte, and it is beyond frustrating and maddening. Please, save yourself the hassle. Buy your motherboards locally or avoid Gigabyte at all cost.

・起動が早い。・BIOS画面が簡潔で取っ掛かり易い。悪く言えばちょっと込み入った事をしたい場合に戸惑う。(例えば素のBIOS画面からEFIシェルに入る項目も無いとかそういうの。)・電池を抜くのに背面部カバーから上部ヒートシンクから全てを取り除かないとアクセス出来ないのが不便。・Hi-Fi オーディオ : ALC1220 搭載って謳い文句があるけど個人的には高音が抜けず曇った様な音をしているので、ディスプレイ出力の3.5mmジャックからイヤホン越しに聞くより聞き苦しい。・9万円台でPCIe 5.0の×16が1スロットしかないのでSASカード増設がし辛い。
