    The Aurois Axe Elite is a popular choice among fragrance enthusiasts. It's got a unique blend of notes that might just tickle your fancy. Here's what I've got: Pros: - Long-lasting scent, lasts all day kinda deal - Projection is fire, people will notice - Unique blend of aquatic and woody notes Cons: - Might be too aquatic for some, kinda polarizing - Sillage could be stronger, but it leaves a nice trail If you're into aquatic fragrances, give it a shot! What's your take on it? Use it yourself?

    Doesn't work with RAM AT ALL. Tried a LOT

    The GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard seems to be a really powerful solution to build a high-performance system with the latest technologies at the first glance. On closer analysis, though, it drops top performance in areas like memory compatibility, which leads to great hassle and disappointment. **Pros** Though lacking in so many ways, the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX still had a few redeeming qualities. It had a sleek design and came with so much connectivity at hand—among them Wi-Fi 6E for fast and stable internet connectivity. The motherboard supports the latest DDR5 RAM and the PCIe 5.0 to future-proof upcoming hardware releases. The BIOS interface is user-friendly, and many settings are available for enthusiasts who like to tinker with their systems. Besides, it has multiple M.2 slots for high-speed NVMe SSDs—a boon for people who want decent storage paired with fast access times. **Cons** Poor memory compatibility—this is the most blatant problem with the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX. Even with RAM on the QVL, users are reporting huge problems booting up when both sticks of RAM are equipped. It continues to this day despite all the trouble-shooting, updating to BIOS, and adjusting settings. The frustration of catering to a malfunctioning system is further aggravated by the feeling that GIGABYTE support comes off as somewhat clueless, so users are on their own in troubleshooting hell. The fact that it cannot support one of the most core requirements of modern systems—reliable dual-channel memory—is unbearable. System performance slows dramatically, and one does not derive the intended benefits from investments in high-speed DDR5 RAM. Having to put up with such compatibility problems wastes time and a lot of effort; this is especially a huge drawback where some users expect fluid performance out of the box on a premium product. **Conclusion** In summary, even though factory-filled with many lovely features, the GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX motherboard has critical issues in memory compatibility, making it a really bad board for system builders seeking reliability. The continuous inability to boot dual-channel RAM, even when on the QVL, negates any benefit it might derive. **Will I recommend?** I would not recommend this motherboard at all—GIGABYTE B650 AORUS ELITE AX. For a product at this price tag, the least one would expect is that all its features and compatibility work seamlessly. The incompatibility with memory is quite serious and frustrating. Unless GIGABYTE fixes these very core problems and teaches its support a thing or two about reliability, use some other motherboard that offers better stability and reliability.

    It was easy to install on the case with almost no issues, it feel durable and the i/o shield that comes with it helps when adding it to the case. One thing I wish this would include is a manual with more detailed explanation of all connections in the board, i had to watch youtube videos to find out what goes where, even if it already has labels, that would be nice

    Second time in a year I've ordered this motherboard, both times I received it with damaged pins. Thankfully, the Bestbuy staff were understanding and gave me a replacement. However, cannot ignore its happened twice, definitely some QA issues with Gigabyte.

    Ordered as open box for the price, but it was not in working condition - damaged pins for the CPU. However, best buy let me swap and now it works great!

    Awesome motherboard that I've had for a little bit more than a year now. Audio is good and I've populated all 3 SSD slots. No issues ever and the motherboard looks really good. I put a 7700x for my CPU and I haven't had any issues. USB port selection has never caused me any issues either. I also use Ethernet, Bluetooth, and sometimes WIFI and nothing has ever gone wrong with it.
