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.
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
Always been of fan of gigabyte brands , 20 years no problems
Looks nice in my setup and working great
* 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.
high quality at a good price. lots of m2 and usb ports. supports high ram speeds
The company who builds my PC's are very good. They had nothing but issues with the mother board and cpu. Newegg were nothing but great and made things so much easier. I know have a great PC and will be sure to pass along the highest recommendation to everyone I know in the industry.
Price is good, bios and everything else was ready to rock out of the box.
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.
The rgb on the motherboard looks really good the pcie button makes installing larger cards such as the 5090 much easier to do
-Worked well, seems to handle all the motherboarding tasks well -6GHz WIFI is really nice to have, my kids devices can't even see that this network exists, so they don't know I'm hiding a bunch of bandwidth from them.
Cheap Overclocking Support Good Looking
So many IO ports Nice finish on the metal Good number of SSD ports Seems to work well enough Nice SSD lever things instead of having to use screws
Sleek and powerful, definitely worth more than it costs
-beautiful board -plenty of high speed connections (TB5, TB4, 10G LAN, etc)
Well built with quality parts.
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.
- Plenty of USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps ports on the back panel - Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity - M.2 Slots have clips for securing the drives. Also, QR codes that link to YouTube videos demonstrating installation - Works great with the RGB lighting for both the DeepCool LT720 Premium Liquid CPU Cooler and the G.SKILL Trident Z5 RGB Series - The M-Flash utility makes it easy to update the BIOS. Just download the file, unzip it on a attached storage, then make the update from the BIOS screen.
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
