EDIT: After some testing with new parts and tinkering with settings, I've figured that the main issue stemmed from the RAM, not the motherboard. I've never used DDR5 before so maybe it's something to do with that, but I've found it impossible to use at full speed and have it be stable. Never ever use XMP. I've learned my lesson there. Also fixed my issue with boot up times/lighting not starting properly by messing with ErP and Fast Boot settings in the BIOS. Glad I get to use this board, it's got wonderful I/O and it's simple enough for what I need. ORIGINAL: Just built my new PC and this motherboard has given me the most issues out of any parts by far. To start off with the bad, it has some power issues, fan lights will often not turn on or off alongside the PC, it takes a while to start up most of the time, and I can not use my RAM to its fullest speed. Using the motherboard's built in XMP with 4x16GB DDR5-6400 MHz RAM causes only crashes when using the PC. (memtest shows 0 errors with the RAM itself.) Games will crash quickly and sometimes the entire system just blue-screens or freezes, and every time it's related to the XMP, and I know this because going to a lower XMP profile, it works fine. Still a few crashes but it's never anywhere near as bad as using it at full speed. This motherboard also just has some build quality issues. USB-3 plugin came off with the connector, making the pins exposed. Thankfully it still works, but that's definitely not reassuring when it comes off that easily. As for the good, this motherboard has a lot of I-O. 4 USB 2.0 ports on the back for your keyboard, mouse, etc. is always nice. Lots of USB 3.0 ports and also tons of slots on the motherboard itself. The NVME storage is very nice and has a good built-in heatsink for them. The motherboard itself also looks super clean, and is incredibly simple to install. This motherboard definitely has a lot of potential, it's possible I got a faulty board, and if I get more problems I'll definitely end up getting a new one from a different brand. But, if you wanna take a chance, then this one could definitely work. For now, I think there's a lot of issues that need ironing out and if you plan on getting high-end parts, you may want to look for something with more assured quality.

I recently purchased this product and I’m really impressed! The quality exceeded my expectations and it works exactly as described.

Powered by a Seasonic Vertex PX-1000, with Intel i7-12700KF, Gigabyte Aorus Radeon RX 6900 XT Xtreme Waterforce, 32GB G.Skill Trident Z5 RGB 6800 MT/s, WD Black 1TB SN850X NVMe and cooled with a custom loop, this is a nice motherboard. Some reviews suggest some fuss about it, but mine was plug & play, updated all the drivers as well as BIOS just fine. Memory overclocked and CPU undervolted with no problems. Fusion works great with both the GPU and RAM. One review noted the "WiFi kit" wasn't aesthetically pleasing, which seems unfounded since there is no "kit" with the board I purchased, it's just an antenna that looks fine, I like it. Out of the box, these boards have unlocked power to high draw components, and so it needs good, stable power. I read a review for the GPU used in this build that stated the "GPU died" and "took the PSU with it", which was funny b/c that's an under-powered PSU problem, not a GPU one.

Great board, DO NOT INSTALL GCC!!! The board itself is great, bought 2 of them in fact so my partner and I have the same build. After 2 years of ownership, the including software called GCC updated and completely crashed my computer. Took me 2 days to figure it out. I even bough new ram in 2025 and that was not the issue. After spending literal hours troubleshooting and trying to get the pc to post, I finally was able to reinstall windows since the multiple errors I was getting was related to drivers (more or less). After installing windows, I downloaded GCC (the Gigabyte Control Center) software and my PC hard crashed again, which is how I found out the software was to blame. I had to physically uninstall the video card, 3 ssd NVMe drives and both sticks of ram and attempt to boot before plugging in a random nvme that I had to format earlier just to get it to post. This GCC software will 99% brick your computer and I am a very experienced builder for the last 30 years. Good hardware terrible software. Just look up GCC computer crashing and you'll see plenty of issues with the software.

It works as expected, go ahead and buy it.

This is one of the best budget motherboards you can get. The layout is fantastic. everything is easy to get to, all the fan headers are together at the bottom of the motherboard away from hard to get to areas, everything is spaced very well giving you a lot of flexibility to make cable management 10x better. DDR5 3x16 PCIe Lanes (not all are 16, in fact one is 8 one is 4 and one is PCIE3) however they are spaced far enough apart and allow for any size nic. the PCIe 3.0 (bottom) is good for the 10G Nic (youll get around 8-9ish i think?) the top is good for the GPU and the middle one is good for anything that needs the extra speed, if you dont have anything that needs the extra speed place youe 10G nic there ive purchased a lot of motherboards for low end to high end, this might be my favorite one.

This motherboard did all intended purposes for my first build, it seats all of my components very well and as far as aesthetics go.. it’s fine. The software for driver updates and RGB control is convenient and worked well with my fractal pop air case. Fan controls are also good, no problems there. Bios is functional and has decent tweaking options. For someone building themselves especially the first time, everything is appropriately labeled and it is very easy to get running. The performance after benchmarking was excellent. My only negatives about the motherboard are really the audio performance, the audio is just okay. If you’re someone who prioritizes audio and works with a lot of audio whether it’s through editing/streaming or gaming then you may be wanting more out of the audio. Not that it’s horrendously bad or anything but it’s just basic and something you would’ve expected a little more from out of an aorus elite model especially a z790. Taking into account that you get DDR5 support on this; the price point is good. Some people like DDR5, some don’t, but if you do then you’ll be happy with this motherboard. You also get wifi 6 if you install the kit for that, I didn’t because the kit looks horrible (just my opinion) and if you’re looking for an aesthetic build then the wifi 6 kit will probably not be something you’ll want to install. You could probably hide most of the kit if your case is big enough but I’d be worried about the functionality if you don’t give the antenna enough space to do antenna things. For the price point it’s definitely a good motherboard to consider, it supports all of the recent GPU/CPUs and DDR5. In retrospect I probably would’ve shelled out more $ to get something with better audio capabilities and a better looking wifi 6 kit if those were things I’d even considered when deciding on my build (If you didn’t consider them yet, consider them now!) Not at all disappointed in my purchase, it’s doing its job and doing it well. But if you’re going to make a beefy build make sure the quality of all parts of it are just as high end.

Otima praca mãe atende a tudo que eu preciso

Qualitativ und macht was es verspricht , aber die hauseigene Software von Gigabyte ist nicht so gut wie von anderen Herstellern .

bought to replace an asus board. no issues works great.

Very good board Ive been using it for a few months now had no issues with it.
