Question 1

Where is the other fan pins located on the motherboard?

Accepted Answer

There is a fan slot for the CPU next to it and another for a system fan on the left side of the motherboard. I had to get a fan splitter cable in order to hook up an additional fan.

yes this mb comes with a I/O Shield

To answer your question, the board does not have a built in WiFi adapter. Hope this helps :)

Question 4

Will a 7th Gen A12-9800 work in this, or strictly Ryzen?

Accepted Answer

According to the manufacturer's website, a 7th gen A12-9800 will NOT work in this - Summit Ridge, Pinnacle Ridge, and Raven Ridge Ryzen/Athlon processors only.

Question 5

will this mobo support ryzen 5 3600 straight out of the box as of 4/26/2020?

Accepted Answer

It will... However there is a chipset and bios update available on the Gigabyte website specifically for the Ryzen 3 family.  It would be a good idea to instal these after installing the processor.

Question 7

Hi, I was wondering how many fans can this motherboard safely support when using a fan splitter? I was planning on using
Cooler Master MasterFan Pro 120 mm Air Flow RGB Fan, 3 in 1 with RGB LED Controller. MFY-F2DC-113PC-R1.(3x Cooler Master MasterFan Pro 120mm Air Flow RGB Fans)

combined with the black stock fan that came with
Cooler Master MasterBox E500L ATX Mid-Tower with Sliding Brushed Front Panel, Blue LED Fans, Blue Accent Trim and Edge to Edge Acrylic Side Panel Case  (Cooler Master MasterBox E500L)

Using(Maybe/probably not/still considering)(if not this, or some other splitter, I could use a hub)
Coboc PWM-1X5 12 inches Sleeved TX4 Pigtail Cable 1 x 5 4-pin PWM Fan Power Splitter Cable Adapter,5 Ports PWM Fan Hub Compatible with 3pin Case Fan (Coboc PWM-1X5 12 inches Sleeved TX4 Pigtail Cable 1 x 5 4-pin PWM Fan Power Splitter Cable Adapter)

Sorry that this is so long, but I want to try and be specific, also when I had the links to the different items on Newegg, it would say "Please do not include contact information in your posts, including phone numbers." so I tried taking them out and replacing them with the full name given on Newegg, if you can see this, then that means that was the correct thing to do. Any help would be appreciated.

The board only has the 2 PWM fan connections one for CPU one for Chassis. So when i bought this I just purchased a hub, so all fans run at the same speed but i'm running a Noctua 120 and 4 Noctua 140 fans from the hub with no issues as controllers normally have their own power. I think it depends more on the fan controller you get and not the motherboard itself. So depending on level of control you want for your fans make sure the controller you get has the options you want.

Question 8

Anyone have issues with ATX 12v connector? I can get 1x4 pin in without issue but the second one is a bear. Please pardon my ignorance.

Accepted Answer

Hmm. I just remember one ATX 12v plug for the motherboard supply. I had no problems with the other motherboard connectors either.

Question 9

I have had trouble booting into the bios, I have tried the delete, escape, ctrl and alt keys and many others, none of them worked so I am confused. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and could help?

Accepted Answer

i HAD the board for a bit and i got into the bios by mashing the "Delete" key right after i hit power and just kept hitting it tell the bios came up.....i know you shouldn't do that but it worked and may help you here.

Question 10

is this motherboard compatible with ryzen 5000 series?

Accepted Answer

I believe so. I have it and supports 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gen (w/ BIOS update) Ryzen CPU's are fine. F60 BIOS update to AMD AGESA ComboV2 1.2.0.0 for Ryzen™ 5000/ 4000 series processors support and
    AMD Smart Access Memory function support
