Bio very easy to use Beta updates work great Plenty of storage options between m.2 and sata Bios reset and m flash buttons on IO panel WiFi receiver is actually really good
Board tooks some bios settings adjustment to get to work for me right out of the box however, it works perfectly fine now. Bios is one of the easiest to navigate.
Tons of options on motherboard, bios almost has too many. If you want to overlook this has probably everything your looking for. Going to add 2nd GPU once I get more info on the bifurcation that it says it can do. Overall happy so far.
Came with UEFI and Secure Boot enabled, which was a pleasant surprise. The BIOS was only a few months old so I haven't even bothered to consider updating. Everything worked first time as expected
Easy plug and play setup, & enough peripheral connector pins for my setup
Cost, functionality, NVME heat-shields, GPU and NVME easy release.
Easy to setup Good RAM compatibility Extensive options in UEFI Bios
- No issues, yet.. - 9800X3D worked in this bad boy right out the box, no need to flash the bios, though I did anyway. - XMP (or whatever its called on AND systems) on my Corsair 6400MHz RAM worked no issues.
- I love the aesthetic of the motherboard. - I like the new BIOS menu - Plenty of M.2 slots
-Came as scheduled -Bios did not need updating -Clear labels on PCB for easy building -WiFi worked out of the box -Cleanest bios I've ever seen
Great aesthetic 2 thermal pads on both side of SSD m.2 head sink Good cpu fans, pump and opt position
M.2s are easy to put in with spring loaded things
this gigabyte is the direct competitor to the MSI 650 tomahawk , it is sort of a no-frills master with nearly the same VRM. booted up with no problems other than the typical slow boot with 7600x, 32mb of ddr 6000 which it booted up first time as ddr 4800--second boot after turning on XMP it went to 6000, this board has most everything you could want . temps are running about 10c warmer than the socket 4 set up with the same water cooling . seems solid so far.
- Dedicated PCIe 5.0x16 GPU slot - Sharing bandwidth with USB4 ports and M2_2 is an unique and excellent idea - Stable performance with various high speed memory kits (tested up to DDR5-6400 2x48GB)
-Perfect for White Builds Clean, premium aesthetic that stands out in a white-themed setup. -EZ Latch Features Tool-less design makes installing or removing GPUs and M.2 drives effortless. - Future-Proof Specs PCIe 5.0, DDR5, USB4, and Wi-Fi 7 offer top-tier performance and longevity. -Robust Build Quality Solid VRM design, reinforced slots, and great thermal management. -5-Year Warranty Longer-than-average warranty adds peace of mind and value.
Probably the best white am5 motherboard for the price out there Has all the features you need without excess that would inflate the price
