Checked all the boxes for what I needed, building a new work PC using an old case, new mobo, chip and cooler, RAM, SSD and PSU. The built in wifi was a big plus compared to other boards I was considering. I haven't built a PC in a long while and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to build, the motherboard has an excellent layout.
Q-Flash BIOS with no CPU Boots extremely fast Stable - Zero crashes in two weeks of ownership. On-Board display port for BIOS with no GPU Easy to overclock memory (DDR5 6400)
- Solid value for the feature set. - Way overbuilt VRM - Performs as expected and fully stable - Convenient tool-less installation features for GPU and M.2 SSDs. - 5 Gbe LAN
Good speed, doesnt over heat, comes with heat sinks and 2 m.2 slot one comes with heat sink grest buy
Comes with everything you could ever need at a very solid price. Great warranty, good customer support, and a clean look.
1. The Biggest pro that I couldn't find with any other MOBO Manufacturer was the 2nd x16 slot runs at PCIE 4 x 4 from the chipset! This means that when using SSD's at PCIE x5 doesn't disable it! Read below to see why this is important. 2. It's a very well built and feature rich board! Save $200 from buying the HERO and get this! The HERO's extra PCIE x16 lane also is disabled when using SSD's. 3. ASUS Hit The Ball OUT of the Park on this one! Worth the Money 4. No issues with drivers and just use BIOS Flash Back USB when installing an X3D processor.
It's a pretty long motherboard and I was able to use the top pcie slot and bottom pcie slot. I like the ability to flash the bios using the back i/o and the good-performing networking. Had an issue trying to get the ram in sufficiently but did after some effort. I like the easy plug and unplug for gpu and the easily removed cover for the first m.2 slot.
Perfect setup with zero issues
-quick release latches for M.2 and GPU - system boot time noticeably faster than ASUS board - debug LED - easy connect wifi6
Works great with the 9800x3d
Nice looking, powerful, easy to set up
2 PCIE-5.0 slots running at 8x, no sharing with M.2 slots Good number of USB ports Almost All LEDs can be disabled
Future proofing with USB4, and PCIE 5 for both graphics and NVME. Don't need the latter yet but when I do won't need to replace the board.

Standard installation Great features for the value Love the gigabyte BIOS and software
I purchased with no reviews on any of the B850 boards as a gamble. But I don't use alot of the same features as others for there mobo use cases. Easy to set memory overclock, wifi antenna works great. Router is 3 rooms away and I can pick up no problem and get 350mps on a 400mps plan. Definitely use it if your using a bluetooth controller, most people forget your antenna is half wifi, half wifi/bluetooth.
I built a mini itx system for the living room in the corsair 2000d case. This board was not my first choice because of its price but the first board I bought was the Asrock a620i lightning and it would not post so I had to return it. I bit the bullet and grabbed this asus board and am happy I did. Booted right up, expo worked perfectly with my Gskill ram (30cl 6000mtps). I had heard of people having issues with the wifi on this board but mine is performing excellent. I have gigabit ethernet and am getting 500mbps on wifi from about 30ft away from my router. This board was a little overkill for what I needed but it is a quality board that I have had no issues out of so far.
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.
No screws and extremely easy to install
-Zero issues -All black -Good price
