Most Favorable Review

Was Quick to set up and somewhat easy to configure

GIGABYTE Z790 EAGLE AX LGA 1700 Intel Z790 ATX Motherboard with DDR5, M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, Intel Wi-Fi 6E, 2.5GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, EZ-Latch

Pros: Will support 14th Gen I9-14000k Right out of the box with no Update to the BIOS needed. The BIOS is a little clunky but easy enough to maneuver through. Board connections were labeled for easy case and power supply hookup.

Cons: To get board to boot make sure you put the memory in the correct slots that are not labeled in the quick set up booklet that came with the motherboard. I have Corsair DDR5 memory Paired and they must be in the A2-B2 slots for unit to boot. This is labeled on the motherboard and in the manual. (I had to downloaded the Manual from Gigabyte's website). This was my experience with this board and may not be yours. Also on first boot give this a good minute of time to autodetect everything.

Overall Review: Overall great board and rock solid so far. I am not an overclocker but this does have a overclocker utility from Gigabyte for download. Only downside is only 3 M.2 slots but that is not terrible. Took one star for no manual and quick start guide not detailed enough, but otherwise I am happy with this board.
