Review on πŸ’» GIGABYTE B450 AORUS PRO Wi-Fi: High-Performance AMD Ryzen AM4 ATX Motherboard with M.2 Thermal Guard, Onboard Wi-Fi, HDMI, DVI, USB 3.1 Gen 2, DDR4 by Jennifer Mitchell

Revainrating 3 out of 5

No Q flash. The bios doesn't work with the Ryzen 5000 series out of the box. Headache

This board's Amazon page has a large section on the q-flash solution for Ryzen 5000 buyers who don't have a BIOS update processor. It CLEARLY implies that this motherboard has a Q-Flash, if it doesn't then why the heck would someone list it in the description to buy it. I knew this was a problem when I bought it and I just thought the motherboard had a built in Q-Flash solution, WHY CAN IT STILL BE IN THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION?. I can't believe now that I have to wait for AMD to reply and give them a ton of information just to wait a few days for their processor to arrive, take apart my whole computer, update it, put it back together and then Just send the processor back. because of a little bit of misinformation. I would never have bought this board if I had any idea it was ever going to be this difficult. If you're building a PC from scratch and don't have an AM4 socket 3000 series or smaller chips (like most people do) then stay VERY far away from this board.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
