Add a Review

A good quality motherboard but with a price tag to match.

by Stephen Ward star star star star star

I bought this as an upgrade from my Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro, which has served me well for many years. The switch to AM5 went smoothly enough and I've been impressed with the build quality and features of the motherboard. Being a new model there are no Wi-Fi drivers currently built-in to Windows 11 for this board, so a fresh install is a bit of a hassle as Windows 11 needs an internet connection for setup, In the end I just used a wired connection instead which was a pain but manageable. I've partnered this with a Ryzen 7700X CPU and it's a nice performance uplift from my previous system. It's not night and day by any means but I'm hoping that AMD will release a 9700X3D in the near future, which would perhaps provide more justification for my jump to AM5. I'd like to see Gigabyte add a BIOS option to disable the motherboard's red debug display. It's on all the time and clearly visible through the glass side panel of my case. It seems a little redundant once Windows has loaded so an inactivity timeout option in the BIOS would be helpful. They could even have it switch to displaying CPU temps once Windows has loaded. That way it would actually be useful! They also need to work on the BIOS to cure a slight lag when using a mouse to navigate. My old board had this issue too and it was never fixed. Overall I'm pleased with my choice of motherboard and for my needs (running at stock speeds) it's so far proven to be stable and reliable. Another bonus worth mentioning is that the Gigabyte Control Centre is FAR better (In my opinion) to ASUS Armoury Crate. In fact, it's perhaps the number one reason why I didn't even consider buying an ASUS board! I currently have an ASUS TUF RTX 4070 Super GPU with RGB that defaults to lighting up every time I start my PC. I'm really NOT going to install a mammoth, bloated software suite just to turn off a single RGB logo! Instead I just set up OpenRGB via Windows Task Scheduler to switch it off automatically with every system boot. My previous GPU was Gigabyte and that would remember my RGB settings without having to resort to such methods! Little things like this can make a big difference to user-friendliness. In that respect I think that Gigabyte has me better covered.
