I spent 2 hours of excitement loading this thing into my system and using the rest of the parts to get ready for my new build. As someone who built computers often and knew what to do, hitting the power button after the board failed to catch fire when the power supply clicked was a disappointing but not surprising sight. As you can see in the video, as soon as the power is turned on, the RGB lighting on the board flickers faintly and then immediately goes out. The problem isn't with the PSU as the other PSUs didn't turn it on and the other boards with the same PSU started fine. Many of the reviews here are correct when they say this paperweight is not worth buying. I've heard from other reviews here on the forums and other review sites that even with a "working" board, dual booting the BIOS causes the board to not randomly turn on until the CMOS battery is removed a few hours later and is used again. . This is even more annoying than it sounds as the CMOS battery is very conveniently located under the GPU. Gigabyte, fix your product quality issues or don't offer this board at all. These issues are borderline fraudulent and seem to have been an issue since the B550 was introduced.
