Solid Board with Great Features – Just Update the
Easy to use and quick to install. Offers great expandability and plays nicely with other RGB peripherals. One important note: make sure to update the BIOS right away—mine shipped with a version that was two years out of date, which can cause issues with 13th and 14th gen Intel CPUs. Once updated, everything ran flawlessly. Great value overall.

Great board for anyone to use or upgrade to
Great motherboard for the price. I got this on sale and wanted to update my system with a new DDR5 board. I used to have another brand and I was fine with it but with recent issues arising I decided to swap to Gigabyte. I I like that this has Wi-Fi-6E and it has bluetooth so I don't need to have a usb port taken up by an adapter like my old one. This has great thermal performance on the M.2 slots they all have heat syncs which is nice. The RGB is tasteful and isn't overly there and easy to control in the software. The Bios is great and works as it should with easy and advanced modes. I9-12900k 32gb DDR5 4 M.2 SSD RTX 4070ti Super Cooler Master 850w PSU Be Quiet! Pure Base 500DX

Rock-Solid Motherboard for a Smooth Build!
Built my rig around this board and it handles everything like a champ. Paired it with a Ryzen 7000 and RX 6600—zero bottlenecks. Games run smooth, temps stay low, and I’ve got all the USB ports and fast Wi-Fi I need. If you’re building a gaming setup, this is the foundation you want.
