I had a Gigabyte Z690 motherboard on my iBuyPower gaming PC, but I was encountering a lot of issues while gaming, such as the mouse or keyboard not responding, the ethernet connection failing, and microstuttering and crashing of games. I replaced the power supply and memory, to no avail. I even reinstalled Win 11. I finally just replaced the motherboard with this one, and all my problems went away. It feels so good to just have everything working like it should, and I haven't had any issues. The connections were pretty much identical to my Z690 board, so it was an easy swap.
Happy it comes with a digital BIOS Q-Code display along with pins for a beep speaker. Gigabyte appears to be using a new and updated BIOS interface, which is different from the Z370 and Z390 Aorus motherboards that I have.
Plenty of ports and options for any build. Alot of fan plugs and rbg plugs. I love how the pci express is reinforced for the heavy video cards. and the heatsinks are tool less with their own thermal pads. This board is made for cool temps. The led's are nice to. GCC software is excellent with the bios updates and the rgb. Very impressive that they now have GCC. Their software has come a long way from the older style control center.
My motherboard purchase from new egg was very good. The board was new in a sealed box with all parts and worked perfect for my son's new build. I tried purchasing a board from Am-a-zon. What a disaster that was. First time they sent me an opened box, likely used board. Returned. Secured board was DOA and wouldn't turn on. New egg was a way better experience.
Looks nice in my setup and working great
Compatible out of the box with 14* series refresh. Gen 5 PCIE so you have no performance loss when putting an SSD in the first slot. Easily updatable BIOS. Built in undervolting. No RGB. Lots of SATA ports for storage.
I was able to boot with a i7 14700 out of the box which surprised me. I was able to update the BIOS with an "unsupported CPU" out of the box. Board manufacturing date of 2023-04 so BIOS wasn't even close for 14th gen CPU support.
It has a 2.5GB Lan and B760 chipset
No nonsense UEFI, easily set for XMP, easily updated, no issues.
It works. I've had the best luck with MSI boards working and not having to return them.
The rgb on the motherboard looks really good the pcie button makes installing larger cards such as the 5090 much easier to do
I love the speed of ram it can use, i also love how they hide the SSD, and that it has a 5.0 pcie slot. I bought this MB as a combo with the 5070 TI, and so far they've done great even for a game like MH wilds
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.
- Sleek design - 4x fast M.2 slots - Clear CMOS button & Flash BIOS button are good to have - Great mid-range motherboard for 13th Gen
5x m.2 drives, 3x PCIe slots, 256GB supported DDR5 and support for 9500MHz RAM! Ice/White board looks amazing
Durable. Easy access ports. Plenty of additional SSD ports. Easy to navigate and install.
New LGA 1851 Lots of room for PCI 5 expansion Onboard BT and WiFi Tons of space for M.2 memory (gen 4 at least)
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?
