Great Motherboard
Great quality on a budget. Supports all the features I wanted. Great price to performance! Would definitely buy again but it will probably last forever based on quality.

Nothing but trouble, good luck getting tech support in a timely manner.
Since its first day, this MOBO has had quirks. The video output was finicky. A few weeks later, the machine would drop the internet connection pretty regularly (it’s plugged into ethernet) while all other devices were unaffected. Intermittently, I would randomly get BSOD, and then the computer would run okay for many hours. As of last week, it won’t even boot to windows, even when running windows startup repair. It can boot up the Bios and that’s just about it.I removed all the hardware and tested for bad CPU, RAM, SSD, and video card. They all work on my other workstation.I tried to contact customer service to get this looked at/repaired, as it’s under warranty. When you go to their support site, their Chat service is down. There is no customer service number or email address. They direct you to their E-support site (where their chat is down), so you need to fill out their e-support report section listing the hardware in the system and the problem.It has taken four business days to get a response. That response merely asked if my hard drives are bad. I responded. I am praying it is not going to take more days to get a response to my reply; get this RMA’d and working. I’ve used various Gigabyte components over the years and always had good, stable builds…However, this experience right now has me tempted to just buy a competitor’s board and have a working computer again and not wait the many weeks this is likely to take, given their response times.

Board pairs perfectly well with a 13900k but the slow bios/ slow boot times are no joke
Overall I can’t complain too much. Once everything is setup, everything runs perfectly fine. System is stable and fully functional but those boot times really are no joke. 10+ seconds to even reach the post screen and then add another 5-10~ seconds in the splash screen before your OS finally goes through the process of booting up. Maybe 30~ seconds total but I haven’t really timed it.Waking from sleep is also a bit of an issue as well, as other reviews have mentioned. At least 15+ seconds from when you hit a key to wake your PC up, until you actually see the windows login screen.I also seem to have this weird issue where my mouse will turn itself on and off again a few times, as if it’s getting connected and disconnected from the usb port, before finally latching on to the connection. This only happens when waking up my PC from sleep (and it doesn’t happen every single sleep/wake cycle either, just sometimes), absolutely no USB issues of any kind outside that, but you can add maybe another 5-10 seconds on top of the already slow wake up process before you finally have full functionality of your computer.These things are very annoying of course but everything else about the board is so good that I’m willing to look past it. If snappy, fast startups are a feature that you absolutely need to have on your build then you definitely need to look elsewhere but if you’re willing to put up with this motherboard’s weird quirks, it’s an incredible deal.

Great for my needs!
I wanted to fully power an i7-13700k and have lots of PCIe slots. I didn’t really care about the included wifi, so being AC wasn’t a concern. This board seems to be working great for me! Used a Thermalright contact frame and Noctua NH-D12L which both mounted up no problem. Running BIOS version F11c at stock voltages and timing for CPU and RAM but limiting CPU PL2 to 200W to not overwhelm the Noctua and it is good to go.Fan control can use PWM or voltage control, which is handy as I have some 3-pin fans.

This ATX motherboard has excellent features for its price.I am running an i7 13700k , with a 3070ti, 16 GB of 5600MT/s DDR5.Overall-Twin 16+1+ï¼ Phases Digital VRM, with 2 x8 pin CPU power supply. Which is perfect for overclocking I cannot find another reputable branded motherboard that had both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and 18 VRM for less than 450$ CAD not to mention DDR5 as well.The heat sinks are of solid, matte heavy aluminum, making the board looks sleek and of high quality.The wifi is 802.11ac, WIFI 5. I am getting 238 Mbps on a 1000Mbps network, about 20 feet from the modem. Bluetooth 4.2. There is a programable “CMOS” button and Bios Flash button soldered to the board.Some issues-I have had issues getting the system to post with XMP enabled on stock settings (5600), I’m thinking that with later BIOS versions the issues will be fixed as I made sure to select compatible RAM from manufacturarers website. Currently am running at 4800, which is the native speed for the motherboard, but not a big deal for the time being, will update my review if this changes.I personally would like to have more than 6 fan headers, and a separate CPU water pump header, not one that doubles as a fan header, which takes you down to 5.Connectivity-1 x USB Type-C port on the back panel, with USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 support1 x USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 1 support1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, 6 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 8 x USB 2.0/1.1 portsThere is a 5.0 PCie x16 slot, and 1x 4.0 PCIe x16 slot and 2x 3.0 Pcie x16 slots and two PCie x4 slots.4 DIMM Dual Channel DDR5 Ram, supporting up to 128gb, at MT ratings up to 7200Hz.3x PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots, one with a built in heatsink.Features a “Display Port” and HDMI port on the back side of the motherboard.Has 6 Fan headers one doubling as a water pump header, 4 LED headers, two are addressable.There is a 3 x 3.5mm MIC/LINE IN/LINE OUT ports.PS/2 mouse port.

At first it’s a disappointment cause1- package is damaged2- No manualAs gigabyte claimed on an eco-friendly mission, no manual in packing is acceptable.But as a brand gigabyte should consider more safety and provide more durable packaging.As already using eco-friendly material in packing gigabyte should provide extra layer both upside and down side inside the box for package safety.Damaged package can’t afford this as it’s a Motherboard. (Most delicate component in PC)So long performance is good, looks good as expected to Gigabyte.works well with the combination ofi7-12700k with Rtx 4060,Will update the info again after proper 1 year of use.

Windows can’t see the required disc driver despite it being added to a USB and tried as instructed.If you want a RAID array Gigabyte don’t provide a link they just say look for *Configuring a RAID array* but it seems there are several of these and I found one that wasn’t far off and eventually managed to create my RAID 1 array. I’ve even reset the BIOS and gone through it again and with or without a RAID array set up Windows Setup cannot see a licensed driver for the disc despite the one downloaded from Gigabyte being on the folder I can select for the driver. A HELP request to Gigabyte has not been replied to after 36 hours.
