Over the years, I have built hundreds of desktop PCs for business use with Gigabyte boards. This particular model I have used 30 to 40 times. The last dozen builds I used M.2 SSD Gen4 Crucial drives; one for the OS and one for storing backup images. Connecting both directly to the board vs a SATA interface improves speed substantially. This board has been very reliable with no DOAs.
Easy set up. No issues. I didn't use the Gen5 SSD at the moment and only use Gen4 SSD's. Hopefully in the near future there will be more options better suited for it to use alongside different manufacturer sales. Yes, it's all about the costs. But it's there when wanted as time goes by.
Very heavy and solid they use a lot of metal. ATX Board, Supports socket 1851 for my intel core 9 285. Easy latch for m2 sticks, release button for PCI video Card. Debug display for troubleshooting. Z890 Chipset, reinforced pci slot, Wi-Fi 7, 10 GB Lan, dual channel DDR 5 memory with 4 slots. Support for gen 5 m2. PCI 4 and PCI 3 available for expansion. Easy build for me. Best motherboard I have had to date.
