Bought for 1st pc build
by CDalyThis is a very good motherboard with lots of features, usb ports of varying speeds and a front usb-c header if your case supports that. It comes with great vrm heatsinks and good audio codec, ALC 1200 . A handy feature with the BIOS flashing is it doesn't require a CPU to run. The board actually has RGB LEDs along the left side of the heatsinks which I didn't notice in product images or reviews. By default are orange but can be changed with gigabyte RGB software if you wanted to do so. I'm very happy with it and I have had no problems so far. Even if you have a more budget CPU or pcie gen 3 storage drives you won't need to replace the board when you upgrade parts as it can handle all the higher end stuff just fine. I have it paired with the Ryzen 5 5600 and the Radeon Rx 6700xt and plan on upgrading to the Ryzen 5800x/x3d with the 6800xt but that won't be for at least 3-5 years, this level of performance is more than enough for me at the moment. The only negative I have with it is the price, as it is quite expensive compared to competitors but you do get a quality product if you were to purchase it. I would give it 4/5 stars, if you can get it for €200 or less then 5/5 stars but at the time of purchase for me it was €230 after shipping and import duty taxes which is more than I wanted to pay for a board.
