Standard installation Great features for the value Love the gigabyte BIOS and software
Easy set up. No issues. I didn't use the Gen5 SSD at the moment and only use Gen4 SSD's. Hopefully in the near future there will be more options better suited for it to use alongside different manufacturer sales. Yes, it's all about the costs. But it's there when wanted as time goes by.
Very heavy and solid they use a lot of metal. ATX Board, Supports socket 1851 for my intel core 9 285. Easy latch for m2 sticks, release button for PCI video Card. Debug display for troubleshooting. Z890 Chipset, reinforced pci slot, Wi-Fi 7, 10 GB Lan, dual channel DDR 5 memory with 4 slots. Support for gen 5 m2. PCI 4 and PCI 3 available for expansion. Easy build for me. Best motherboard I have had to date.
Has everything needed for upgrade to windows 11 to be worth it since board features are mainly win 11 only. At first was just booting but not loading anything, turns out i needed to push both sides of ram down and put them in A2 and B2 slot. Got DDR5 6000 was worried cause intel i7 14700kf said 5600 max supported but the xmp for it to worked out and ram runs great with it. Also was worried was doing to much man handling of board cause i installed it then pulled it back out then back in. Anywho though just needed seat the ram snug down in dimm. Everything bought for it works great thank you
Looks nice in my setup and working great
1. Performs awesome. 2. So many YouTube videos explaining every detail of the board, its functions, and its installation. 3. MSI does an amazing job with keeping drivers updated. 4. I love the attention to style and detail with the peripheral slot covers that make the board look sleek and color-matched across the entire motherboard.
Works as advertised
* affordable * Good performance *Easy bios upgrades *Linux compatible *Does it's job *Two nvme ssd slots as well as a pcie 4.0 port. One of them has a heatsink called "thermal guard" as it's brand name to keep your SSD cool. But it's not the best thermal guard and you have to use it if you want to have two ssds. *Ethernet port * Very small, but not too small which means it fits extremely well with a micro ATX case.
Loaded with what you need at a good price.
Great motherboard for the price, I was surprised when I tested it with I9 14th gen K and i found out it work without needing to upgrade the Bios, over all it is great option for budget built however it is not fancy as you think but it do the job
The rgb on the motherboard looks really good the pcie button makes installing larger cards such as the 5090 much easier to do
Great product
Simple setup, worked and updated itself on first power up zero issues thus far. Massive heat sinks everywhere running benchmarks so far everything has been optimal. Nothing over 70c at 100% on processor,board, or video card. Wish I had known before hand they had heat sinks installed on the M.2 sockets for M1 M3 and M4. Wouldnt have had to buy memory with heat sinks. This is more positive than negative hence the pros column.
- MSI Z790 (DDR5) Easy to install, looks mazing with quality and strong built - Good design for heat sinks that add more cooling capabilities to my build - Price wise is great compared to other competitors with same motherboard functions - Bios is easy to work with lots of options, also come with additional instructions to assist with the build - It has good amount of fan headers and ARGG
z890 Aorus Elite WiFi7 w/Core Ultra 7 265k Both great I/O and internal connections, 1 USB-C/Thunderbolt, 5 USB 3.2 and 4 2.0 USB on the rear IO panel, not to mention however many extra you plug into the front connectors, built-in RGB LED's are nice, bright and add appeal even before in, I MUST be losing my mind because after doing BIOS updates HWInfo64 shows the motherboard is in the quad-channel memory setting, which I haven't heard anything about in the last 10 years or so and thought it was dead and gone. So a VERY pleasant surprise that not only am I upgrading from DDR4 3600Mhz ram to DDR5 6000 Mhz, but swapping from dual-channel to quad as soon as I get 2 additional sticks of DDR5 ram
Seems like a good product. I also have a Pro-Art Z690 and this one is considerably less expensive and similarly equipped. The Pro-Art has a few extra ports, but I didn't need some of them anyway. The BIOS interface is pretty good and made it easy to set up the fan, although the storage device naming conventions are a little weird, but I figured out what was what. I like the on-board serial port on the Pro-Art (requires a break-out cable), which this lacks, but I'm pleased it has all the front panel connectors for my Meshify case and 4 USB ports (I had to by a break-out for them), like the Pro-Art. These are very handy for getting more USB ports without having to go with the hub or using a PCIe slot. Fan control was easy to set up. My config is a 12900K CPU with a 2TB NVMe in the 1st slot, a GTX1070 GPU and a 256GB SATA SSD and 2 x 2TB SATA HDDs
This motherboard is easy to configure compared to earlier generations. The bus speeds appear to the fantastic, supporting the Intel Core Ultra 9 285K purchased along side. The newer 1080 bios interface is a welcome upgrade. I am not using it to it's full potential yet as I really purchased it for future proofing my rig.
Fortnite works great with this mobo. I feel that this is a future proof item, should last me years. I hear the OLED screen will be able to display pictures in future BIOS updates.
-beautiful board -plenty of high speed connections (TB5, TB4, 10G LAN, etc)
Plenty of features. Easy to use software. What more could you want in a motherboard?
