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

Good build quality I've grown to expect after 30 years of buying Gigabyte boards Allows some tweaking of settings though not an OC board I like the NVMe mounting system Recognized my ram and applied the XMP setting without my having to do anything

z890 Aorus Elite WiFi7 w/Core Ultra 7 265k Both great I/O and internal connections, 1 USB-C/Thunderbolt, 5 USB 3.2 and 4 2.0 USB on the rear IO panel, not to mention however many extra you plug into the front connectors, built-in RGB LED's are nice, bright and add appeal even before in, I MUST be losing my mind because after doing BIOS updates HWInfo64 shows the motherboard is in the quad-channel memory setting, which I haven't heard anything about in the last 10 years or so and thought it was dead and gone. So a VERY pleasant surprise that not only am I upgrading from DDR4 3600Mhz ram to DDR5 6000 Mhz, but swapping from dual-channel to quad as soon as I get 2 additional sticks of DDR5 ram

Solidly built, rich for features, fits well in standard case (with all the wiring and liquid cooling bock). It was easy to set things up. CPU and RAM detected without issues. Passed stress test (no overclocking).

Great price






Plenty of ports and options for any build. Alot of fan plugs and rbg plugs. I love how the pci express is reinforced for the heavy video cards. and the heatsinks are tool less with their own thermal pads. This board is made for cool temps. The led's are nice to. GCC software is excellent with the bios updates and the rgb. Very impressive that they now have GCC. Their software has come a long way from the older style control center.

Plenty of heads for multiple fans and case inputs. Works with 14th Gen i7.
