    "This is my 3rd or 4th Gigabyte motherboard. Honestly it is one of the least intimidating motherboards to work with, only issue i ran into is the placement of the front panel USB C port; it is placed on the right side of the PCI-E which makes it a bit challenging to connect your case's USB-C plug into the port with a GPU in place. ...Used this motherboard and i5 13600k to upgrade computer. Amazing set up. 32 gigs ram and 3060 for now. ...Great Motherboard"
