So far so good
Pros: This is a nice combo option for getting a fan hub if you already have a Lian Li case. Especially if you dont have a smaller case like their SUP01, cause the hub can come off and move
Cons: PSU is still pricey even on sale but still massively cheaper than other more mediocre supply units.
Overall Review: Good so far, fits, power is steady and the hub adds a nice touch.
Pay more expect less these daya
Pros: Its RDNA 2 for what its worth I guess Plays 1080p so so not nearly as good as other reviews make it out to be.
Cons: Gigabyte has meh software In this age of buy what you can get cause everything is over priced its still worth it to let this one pass. If you cant get a 6800 xt or 6900 xt dont waste your time with AMD at these price points its a total waste
Overall Review: I bought this as the intent to finish a build and wait out the storm, but sadly its not worth it. I have a great machine otherwise but even for playing stuff like fortnite, lol, Valorant, overwatch at 1080p other cards just vastly out perform this even when over clocked more using afterburner. Save your money learn some patience dont do what I did
Great features
Pros: Lots of fan, RGB, USB and SATA headers. Build in RGB control is ok, not great, but ok. The BIOS setup is very nice and intuitive. Nice look to the motherboard.
Cons: The PICe 4 x16 slot is the top slot and sits a little high for mounting a graphics card in top slot without partially impairing some connection sockets on the card. Making it necessary to have to trim the case slightly? Also with a graphics card in if you need access to your heat shielded NVMe M2 slot good luck its now buried under the GPU and your taking some stuff out to get at it.
Overall Review: Overall a great board, lots of ports, lots of headers, TPM 2 compliant, etc but if you have the space go for the bigger version instead of the b550M
