Review on 🔥 GIGABYTE Z590I AORUS Ultra - LGA 1200 Intel Z590 Mini-ITX Motherboard with Dual M.2, PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, Intel WiFi 6, Intel i225V 2.5GbE, and Gaming Features by Jimmy Hargrove

Great little board, very fast and powerful. Requires some drivers to be installed, the front M.2 SSD connector will only work if you have an 11th Gen processor (they haven't been released yet). Therefore, to save time and hassle, install your NVMe SSD in the rear socket and it will be recognized and working immediately. The memory is recognized and works without problems. Simply activate the XMP profile in the BIOS and you're done. The HDMI 2.0 port is advertised as supporting 4k@60Hz, but that's only true if the socket has an 11th Gen processor. I found that my i9 doesn't support 10900k 4k@60Hz over an HDMI connection, that's unacceptable, but that's Intel's fault, not Gigabyte's. The LEDs on the back of the board are configurable, but with some minor software bugs, for example. The Wave light effect setting doesn't work at all, so you can set those LEDs to pulsate, circle colors and some musical light effects, but the nice rainbow (wave) effect doesn't work when it's selected. Hopefully Gigabyte will fix this in future software updates. The BIOS is up to date, there is a single original version that has not been updated at the time of writing this review. There are many proprietary fan headers that come with adapters. To reset the BIOS, you need to short two jumpers on the motherboard. I still don't understand why it's such a complicated or expensive solution to just add a button to perform this function instead of people looking for a small screwdriver or something small metal to short the two jumpers to get the bios reset. But that's not the star deduction of this rating, after all, almost every MB manufacturer does it that way. I recommend this tiny but fast and powerful motherboard to protect yourself in the future, inexpensive and with very good features and specifications, there is simply nothing better now and in the future it will still be a good option that more and more expensive ones are offering brands do.
