Pros: What a solid looking and feeling board. Built like the proverbial brick out-building. I've built several computers over the years and this is by far the heaviest and most fully featured board I've had. With up to 3 m.2 nvme pciex4 drives and plenty of sata and usb ports it has all the connectivity I needed. Plus it has robust power phases for o'clockers. At this time I'm running 2 M.2 drives (Samsung 970 500GB), 2 1TB SSD Sata drives, 1 WD 4TB black drive, and 64GB of memory (8 8GB Gskill Trident RGB (F4-3200C32Q16GTZR - 2 quad channel sets) The board kit includes 6 SATA cables (3 with one connector being an L) and an assortment of over cables. It also comes with 2 thermal sensors which can be placed in your case to monitor air temperatures. The board provides about a bazillion fan (and pump) headers.
Cons: The first example I had didn't work. I RMA'd it and the egg got me a replacement relatively quickly. I had RAM problems with this board- I started with all 8 sticks of RAM installed. No go. I removed one quad channel set leaving ram modules in 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D. This configuration worked. Ram cam up as 2133Mhz memory. Used the bios to select the XMP profile on the rams bringing them up to 3200Mhz with cas 16. They still worked. I installed the other 4 modules again, and this time they worked. I think the problems was the board was trying to run them at 1.2V (they spec 1.35V). Once I got the MB to load the XMP settings everything worked fine. UPDATE [11/16/18] The replacement board appears to have a problem with WIndows hibernation. When it wakes up it shows code d8 (flash problem?) on the LEDs. Rebooting took it back to completely non-operative with 8 rams in place showing code 00. I took out 4 of the rams and now it could boot again. UPDATE [11/20/18] The problem occurred while recovering from sleep. The cause of that problem was a bad display port cable! Gigabyte support got me information (after 4 days) that steered my troubleshooting away from the motherboard itself.
Overall Review: Neither the original, nor the replacement boards had seals on their boxes which seemed a bit strange. However it appears this is just the way Gigabyte packs the boards. the box didn't have any kind of seal on it. I've never had a Gigabyte MB before but the BIOS seemed relatively intuitive and I figured out what I needed without needed to study the manual.\ After reading about (and seeing videos of) problems with FoxConn sockets I was somewhat apprehensive about the board's sockets. However, at least in my case I experienced zero problems getting a Threadripper 2950x installed and seated. No problems with trying to get the screws started. I had problems connecting Deep Cool RGB fans to the motherboard header. The connectors just didn't seem to match up. Not sure who to blame for this - probably my fault because I know so little about external RGB devices I may have ordered incompatible parts. Getting the M.2 2280 drive boards installed was a little tricky. The sticky thermal compound on the heat sink covers made it difficult to install the heat-sinks without moving the M.2 drive out of alignment with the mounting holes. The board puts on quite an RGB light show. I've experimented briefly with the RGB utility included on the install CD/DVD but can't seem to get exactly the effects I desired. I did manage to get the RGB show tamed down to something simpler (I'm not fond of showing every color in the rainbow just because you can). I'd like to use 10GBPS Ethernet to hook up to my NAS box, but alas, the NAS is Gigabit lan, not 10gb. The built-in wireless networking picked up my ASUS wifi router even before I connected the antenna to the motherboard! I got somewhat spotty download speeds over the built in wireless connect, BUT I suspect that's because I live in a rural area and my (east podunk-ville) ISP likely was in "ultra-slow mode". The gigabit Ethernet seems to work find with my home wired network. I haven't started overclocking yet, but even at stock speeds the Cinebench results for this MB, 3200Mhz ram, and 2950X beat the pants off my o'clocked i7-5820k hex core system! Other than the difficulty getting the MB to play nice with a full set of ram (8 modules), I've no trouble with it. If you are having ram troubles, try using fewer and few modules until you can get the bios to load, then set the XMP memory config, and start adding ram back again. DO ensure that if you have 4 modules they are in slots 2A, 2B, 2C, and 2D. When I was falling back to 4 sticks I had them in slots 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D and the the board wouldn't work properly. Moving them to 2A(BCD) solved that problem. I gave the board 4 eggs because of my ram config and rgb header problems. At this point I would recommend this board to someone looking for a board for a Threadripper CPU. I will update this review once I've had more experience with this board.\ UPDATE [ 11/16/18] The second board (the replacement) is also having problems. At this point I'd have to say it's time to RMA the RMA'd board. Not that I have much hope a replacement would be better. UPDATE [11/19/18] the board appears to be corrupting it's CMOS every time WIndows tries to enter sleep mode. It displays 03 then d8 on the status LEDs, then powers off. On resume it shows d8 (invalid password - but I have no password, nor does it work if I add a password) and refuses to progress further. When I cycle power the LEDs show 00 and do not advance. I need to clear CMOS to make it work again. I flashed the bios from version F3 (what it came with) to F5c (the latest at this time) which did not cure the problem. Thank goodness the board has dual bios. I have support tickets in at Gigabyte but so far no action on them. Frustration doesn't begin to describe my feelings. This is my 5th computer build and I have never encountered problems like this before. UPDATE [11/20/18] I think it was not corrupting it's CMOS, instead I think there was some state there that caused it to look for something on a display port on my GPU. When it couldn't find it, it just waited and waited and waited. With a replacement display port cable in place, sleep recovery is working fine. I've changed my egg rating from 1 back to 4 (because it seems improper that a bad display port cable could hang the sleep recovery process)
