Review on 💻 GIGABYTE B560M DS3H: High-performance LGA 1200 Intel Motherboard with PCIe 4.0, Dual M.2, and USB 3.2 Gen1 by Roderick Reynolds

Some Notes: 1) Windows 11 requires a "Trusted Platform Module" TPM and this Gigabyte MoBo doesn't have one built in. (It has add-on pins on the edge.) Then the TPM has to come from the CPU, which every Intel has probably had for at least five years and more. . This Intel "Platform Trust Technology", TPP, is disabled in the settings of this MoBo by default, so you should change it to "Enabled". 2) The first MoBo was defective. Revain accepted my request for a replacement without hesitation and I received a second one within 48 hours! Using memory slot B1 or B2 (with the corresponding A1 and A2) resulted in a full freeze. The fan spins, but there is no video, not even the BIOS. ONE memory module in A1 or A2 makes the BIOS work, but even if multiple attached SSDs are correctly identified in the BIOS, none of them show up/boot after pressing F12, which would otherwise be normal. 3) After assembling and powering on for the first time, wait about 15-20 seconds for the BIOS to appear for the first time and maybe even reboot automatically. Mine did and I've never seen a MoBo before (all mine have been gigabytes, for 18 years). After he has done the initial setup, all starts are fast again as usual.
