Review on GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS ALC1220 VB Motherboard by Ricardo Stewart

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Avoid this motherboard - Power issues - BIOS unstable - No support for 11th gen processors

This motherboard is not very good. At the basic settings, it will automatically overclock your processor by feeding it too much power, leading to overheating and potential crashes. I'm not new to building computers and it took me a very long time to get my processor running smoothly. The average user will not like this product. Also, the last 2 BIOS updates for this model were beta versions and will NOT work with 11th Gen processors. Their support is silent, although I've emailed them constantly and asked about it on the Gigabyte forums. help never came. If you are looking for a motherboard, choose another motherboard like ASUS or MSI. This is too much of a headache for everyone involved.
