Bought this MB with a Raptor Lake i5 to replace my old Asus Zxx MB and Kaby Lake i7 that were not capable of upgrading to Windows 11. Reused my old CM PS, CM Heatsink, Nvidia card and even my old 16GB of PC4 RAM. Booted-up and it automatically booted Windows 10 from my old SSD. I was then able to "Upgrade" to Windows 11 (rather than having to buy a new copy) and it has worked perfectly. When I first started doing builds 30 years ago, if you changed the CPU, MB or HD, you had to start all over. Not this time. Don't know why?
Reasonably priced. Arrived on time. Paper manual so it was simple figuring out the connections. Booted once to BIOS and then Windows on the second boot.
* Two M.2 full speed Gen4x4 *Wi-Fi built in *Front USB-C connector (rare at this price) *Good color for a white build like mine. *4 RAM slots *Q-flash BIOS update capable
Lots of high quality cables. Power supply quiet.
Exceptional build quality and thermal management. Has a built in Wi-Fi 7 Chip with antennas for better Wi-Fi signal reception. color looks good too with my build. Supports Dual Channel DDR5 Memory and M.2 connectors for storage needs.
Very easy to install Instructions clean and understandable
The MB was an upgrade from my 6 series tomahawk. The RGB looks good and as soon as my new Lian Li Strimer arrived it will clean up the connection to the GPU
This is the third UEFI Gigabyte board I have purchased. The graphical BIOS interface is robust, yet easy to navigate. Great product at an affordable price. Would have been nice to include a mobo map in in the meager documentation, but all ports, pinouts, and connections on the mobo itself are clearly labeled.
I was upgrading two PCs to run Windows 11. Inexpensive with plenty of USB 2 and 3 ports. Meets my needs - I am not a gamer
Sleek looking with great features.
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.
- Works with 13th gen Intel processors without needing to update BIOS - No coil whine on the board I received - Built-on I/O shield, so you don't have to worry about installing and lining it up
No issues during the installation. The design of the board is sleek and the muted colors mesh well with my RGB components. Running Windows 11 the system has been stable.
- easy to set up lots of space
- Visual appealing - Ample USB and M2 ports - Excellent build quality
Well built with quality parts.
Easy install, built in IO Shield, plenty of M.2 SSD slots
Great features with plenty of overclocking ability (with the right CPU and Memory)
Always been of fan of gigabyte brands , 20 years no problems
Sleek and powerful, definitely worth more than it costs
