Product Manuals

Q: Is this motherboard able to use DDR4 ram sticks that i have already or is it strictly DDR5 ram sticks only?

A: I wondered the same thing. Upon checking the model on the Gigabyte website the supported memory list shows only DDR5.

Q: I have a Dell Studio XPS 8000 (2009) desktop (full ATX) and would like to upgrade, will this board mount in that case? i9 DDR5 is what I want.

A: So, I love Gigabyte, but I decided to try asus with new Intel support. Everything is perfect and the BIOS settings are very easy. Gigabyte, on the other hand, leaves a lot to be desired in this aspect and the worst of all is that its support and everything via email, and it takes a long time, a repair on an Mb takes almost a year.

Q: Since this is an EATX board will this still fit in most mid size cases or will a larger size case like a meshify 2xl or 7000D be needed?

A: The 7000D is a safe bet! Good EATX case. But generally cases that specifically are advertised to qualify for at EATX board fit should be used. The big problem with some EATX cases however was fitting-in a AIO and many were forced to install their AIO's on top only. Problems with hoses getting in the way of the RAM. So this needs further checking on a case by case basis!
