Q: Does this motherboard support a m.2 ssd
A: heck yeah dude, it even has a little heatsink for it so it won't get to spicy during use source: specs and reviews
Q: What bios version are these shipping with?
A: Hi BIZKeT, The MB ships with the latest BIOS from the time of manufacture date. These will have the bios to support Ryzen 5000 series out of the box. Hope this helps! - John
Q: Does this board have built-in WiFi or can it run ethernet only?
A: It does came with a built in wifi card that has an attachable antenna with a magnetic base and 4 different positions so it can be placed really anywhere on the case. I put mine on the back of the case so it can’t actually be seen from the front, although I’m using the Ethernet port, it maybe better on top of some systems depending on where your router is if you’re only using wifi. I hope this helps!
A: 5300 MHz. But I feel like anything over 3600MHz is overkill. I believe the Ryzen processors only officially support up to 3200MHz.
Q: any problem using stock 5600x fan interference wise memory or MB coolers?
A: Hi Dan, Yes this will work just fine with the Stock CPU cooler and most 3rd party coolers. We spaced out the memory so that there should be no interferance except for the biggest of air coolers. Hope this helps! - John
Q: Reading a lot about this board having bluetooth issues, did any of latest bios update fix it?
A: Got the newest bios version F13i from 04/23/2021 and have no issues.
Q: Any idea if this board will be restocked?
A: undefined

Excellent all around performer and stable!!
Excellent, stable little motherboard. I used this for building a TrueNas scale (NAS) - absolutely 0 issues. Paired with a Ryzen 7 5700G, 32GB ram, 4 x 6TB WD Red Pro drives, nvme cache drive and nvme boot drive - this thing flies and can handle multiple 4K streams from Plex with ease. Highly recommend it!!

Good fix with AMD stock cooler
This Gigabyte MB is Rev1.1. Not the latest Rev1.2. Checking Gigabyte website, don’t see any difference between 1.1 and 1.2. This is a great choice for a Ryzen 2/3 iTX PC. With the Ryzen 3600, just use the stock cooler, it’s a good fit. Compare to mATX, while using beefy GPU card, mATX’s additional PCIe slots become useless. USB ports is enough for normal users. The only down side is it doesn’t have USB-C for front panel. This shouldn’t be a big deal as a USB A-C cable is easy to find. Most of iTX case o the market doesn’t have front USB-C port anyway.

Excellent Mini-ITX board
I needed something small for a portable desktop, and this one came in clutch. This fits perfectly into an NZXT H1V2, and the headers were neatly labelled and easy to access considering how small the board is. Overall very pleased with what Gigabyte has produced.
