### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A motherboard worth showing off

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelente tarjeta madre, controladores confusos.
*by A***F on 7 June 2023*

Tarjeta madre bastante completa, con un diseño moderno y buena refrigeración, estoy ejecutándola con un procesador i5-13600KF y 32 GB de RAM DDR5, el CPU, SDD y la RAM se reconocieron de inmediato, el diseño de la BIOS es bastante agradable, actualizarla con Q-FLASH a su ultima versión fue muy rápido y sencillo, de igual forma la configuración de los perfiles XMP, también posee un Códec de Audio ALC1220-VB que hace mucho la diferencia en la calidad del audio respecto a las versiones anteriores. Me preocupaba un poco la altura del disipador de calor para PCIe 5 NVMe, pero logré instalar un enfriador de CPU bastante voluminoso Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE en modo PUSH/PULL perfectamente y sin problemas. Mi único descontento fue con la instalación de los controladores restantes de la placa, tuve que hacerlo con una tarjeta de red USB inalámbrica aparte, por que los controladores Ethernet y WIFI de la antena externa que incluye, simplemente no estaban presentes después del formateo, los que están en la página oficial de Gigabyte marcan un error de que se instalaron incorrectamente y posteriormente no los reconoce, investigue y algunas placas con el Chipset Z790 están teniendo el mismo problema, al final se soluciono instalando todas las actualizaciones de Windows y ya fueron reconocidos.
