Review on GIGABYTE Z390 LGA1151 Realtek Motherboard by Nick Cleary

Bought Asrock Z390 Pro, installation failed, spent 3 hours trying to figure out what was wrong. Now with Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X and I5-9400F. The circuit board is well installed, I liked the labeling of all connections and the color coding of the connections. Asrock was just black and white. I like the way Gigabyte places the backplate on the board for simplicity. The board comes with RGB lighting which wasn't a big deal when you bought the board but can really enjoy the looks. Colors can be changed using an application in Windows. The board works fine, no complaints. I have found that Gigabyte has always made reliable quality boards for me. Some people have complained about the BIOS as I don't overclock, I installed the BIOS and didn't bother. Note: This was an update on a PC running Windows 10. For some reason, Windows drivers are not installed to work with Ethernet. You must first install the Intel drivers from the web or use the supplied CD. I warn people who don't have a floppy drive with their builds, just be prepared.
