I gave this product full stars because is worked as advertised without issue successfully from day one for the last ninety days plus. This is after two failed attempts using the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE and a six month hiatus. For details, see my Total Disaster Newegg review for that ASUS motherboard. Other than solid quality and solid reliability, it is difficult for me to review this Gigabyte board. The reason is that the board is most definitely designed to be a server motherboard. I configured it into a workstation motherboard.




- High-end IPMI + dual 25gb LAN = great value at $450. - Multitude of BIOS configuration options. - 1-week burn-in went well.

- below $350 this is a great option to pack huge amount of power into a small box - can serve 48 or 64 core EPYC - slimSAS connectors allow you to add extra devices (e.g. additional drives, I actually use an EDSFF SSD with adapters) - fits e.g. 2U Dynatron coolers but also chunky ones like the ID-Cooling SE-207-TRX







IMPI\BMC, serial console accessible through IPMI, PCIE, high memory bandwidth




Good price for the package Thick, solid motherboard 5 fan headers Doesn't run very hot (Mine is around 45 degrees C with the terrible fan setup I temporarily have on it.)
