G105 Review

Pros: ~Well built ~very nice back lighting even though I'm not a fan of blue ~For a membrane keyboard, key presses are decent ~Good cheap temporary replacement for a broken G710+ if found for less than $40
Cons: ~Newegg's price ~To justify the high price on most sites, more functions would have been nice(volume buttons, USB port etc) ~How about a fricken palm rest Logitech...absurd it isn't included
Overall Review: Lets be honest if your coming from a mechanical keyboard, this keyboard isn't going to be anything special for you. My G710+ took a dump on me and I found this on another site for $40 and bought it. Clearly not in the same league as my 710+ but for your run of the mill everyday keyboard, this is a very good option if found for under $40. Hands down better than the MSoft Sidewinder i bought for my son IMO.
Decent for what it is...Poor RMA service

Pros: Very nice for what I paid for it. Loads of features.
Cons: Gigabyte RMA service. The board died on me so I RMA'ed it. That was almost 6 weeks ago. According Gigabyte's RMA page, They received the board on 3-9 and repaired it on 3-17. I completely understand that things can go wrong so the rating in this review is in no way a reflection of the motherboard itself. The 2 start rating us based solely on GB's RMA service.
Overall Review: I came back to GB after going Asus for my previous 2 boards and I am very disappointed that I did so. Thankfully I didn't get rid of my Sabertooth Mark 2 motherboard when I decided to downsize to a more compact mATX build. I'm not saying that i will never buy a Gigabyte product again, but I am saying I will definitely consider other brands first before I consider Gigabyte in the future.
Love it

Pros: Compact, yet spacious. Excellent cable management. Love the PSU placement. Loving the subtle lighting from the fans. Build quality is excellent very sturdy.
Overall Review: Wish I had found this case when I first built my pc. I seen and read all the reviews and I can tell you when some say its hard to build in, they just have no clue. Geometric Future made a heck of a case with the Model 5 and I cant believe more people havent jumped on it. Its not required but I do recommend going with an SFX psu like I did and just buy some cable extensions where needed. Temps are good. I have my Hydroshifts pump fixed at 3000RPM and my 7800x3d idles at 35c and hits 75c in a 10 minute Cinebench run with the rad fans set to the quiet profile in L-Connect 3. Comes with 5 fans and I absolutely love the lighting. Subtle and elegant.
Looks great, but has flaws

Pros: Well built with lots of room and room for a lot of fans.
Cons: Had to buy an $80 GPU riser and mount because the case isn't wide enough for my RTX 3080 Ti.
Overall Review: Great great case but do your homework on your GPU dimensions before buying.
Shuffle GPU/board combo...Glad I bought it.

Pros: Already had the Strix X570-E so I didn't need this board at all. Won a shuffle for a 3070 comboed with this motherboard and decided to buy it rather than taking my chances at winning another shuffle. Very Very Very happy I bought it since my X570-E Strix hgad to be RMA'ed for bad ram slots. This board has been 100% stable and a dream to work with since I put it in my system. I also kinda favor the aesthetics of this board over the X570-E because the heatsinks are black on this board where as they are gray on the X-570-E. Just goes better with my build.
Cons: Maybe price since you can get an x570 chipset board for the same money.
Overall Review: Get board if you want an ROG board but don't want to spend $300. You won't be disappointed.
A great motherboard until I wanted to upgrade my memory

Pros: Honestly, this board had been a pretty awesome board for the 1 1/2 years I had it in my system. That continued to the case until I decided to upgrade and add more memory to my system. A few months ago I decided to add another 32GB (2x16Gb) of ram to my system and from there things went crazy with crash after crash. Long story short, putting another kit of memory into slots A1 and B1 was not a good idea. Memtest confirmed either the slots or the new kit was bad and when i tried the memory on my back up B550-F Strix board(got it comboed with a card), the memory was fine and when I put both kits on the B550 board everything ran great, confirming the A1 and B1 slots on my X570-e were the issue.
Cons: It is a great motherboard. only issue is the bad memory slots on mine.
Overall Review: Currently waiting for my RMA. This is what will define this purchase. Clearly the slots on the board are bad so if it comes back unfixed, I will no longer build with Asus hardware.
