Cons: RGB fusion software still bites. Really needs a workover.
Overall Review: Need to chase down ALL drivers from gigabyte, many devices on computer not showing up until you install all drivers. Also run the intel driver helper. Did not work out of the box for ddr 5, had to go in and set timings. Did not post at first, need to do a Qflash on newest bios first. Do NOT use a 3.0 usb for that, does not work al the time, 2.0 works fine. Google qflash for doing it, very easy. Quite a bit of work to make it work out of the box, I think. Not for the faint of heart, or someone who's built systems before.
