A great option for this money, one of the best offers.

Read the instructions carefully. For example, Gigabyte recommends putting paired RAM modules in slots A2 and B2, and not A1 and B1, as one might think.

Pros

Great board for the new Ryzens on the new chipset. A bunch of USB, connectors for coolers, lights and other gadgets. BIOS can be flashed without a CPU, just from a flash drive. There are many parameters for overclocking, although I'm not very good at it. XMP is enabled in one click. In general, a stable board. As an amateur teapot, I had no problems with it.

Cons

1. Under the third generation Ryzen, you need to flash the BIOS. 2. The built-in network adapter is buggy. After some idle time, it resets the connection, you have to juggle it in the device manager. So far, this solution has helped: go to the properties of the device (Realtek Gaming 2.5GbE Family Controller) and turn off the following options in the “Advanced” tab: Advanced EEE, Gigabit Lite, PowerSaving Mode, Green Ethernet, Energy Saving Ethernet. 3. There is no USB-C connector on the front panel on the board (the part that comes to the motherboard is called USB type E). And there is only one 19-pin USB 3.1 - you can’t even plug in an adapter. Therefore, if you have a case with both ports on the front panel, you will only be able to connect one.
