Well, while it lasted.

Worked great when it worked. But he died a month later. Haven't overclocked or overheated. Gigabyte usually makes downshift boards, but I'm not sure what happened here.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Empty

Excellent phone for AMD Ryzen 7 2700

So far so good, the product is about 2 months old and I personally haven't had any problems. Was well packaged and delivered quickly. I'm using a Ryzen 7 2700 with 16GB Corsair Vengence 3200 DDR4 RAM, Corsair 750 PSU, 8GB AMD MSI RX580 graphics card and 500GB SSD, all in a Phantex P400 case.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Outdated

Ryzen 3000 is ready: Motherboards

I wanted to put a picture here so everyone can see - this MB has the last bios that Ryzen 3000 is ready. It even says so on the packaging. This MB was perfect for my build (3700x). Easy to install and great price. Wi-Fi works flawlessly, and it has plenty of headers for RGB, SATA, and more. Would definitely buy again and hope the image helps those unsure of compatibility.

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • I don't remember

Dispkay didn't work without an additional graphics card.

I wanted MB to work with display ports enabled but couldn't. After installing and booting up the computer, there was no picture when the monitor was connected to either the HDMI port or the DVI port. Neither does POST. I tried to get help from Gigabyte but to no avail. I have 4 gigabyte MB computers but this was probably my last one. The only way to get this board to work was to buy a separate graphics card, which increased the cost significantly. Why put in some monitor ports if they don't…

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
  • Quality

Works perfectly! for motherboards

It had everything I needed and the price was great compared to buying a mobo without wifi/bluetooth and buying a separate card instead. I'm using Mushkin 120GB nvme as my main boot and a Ryzen 2400g processor with 16GB RAM Corsair lpx vengeance 2666. My only complaint is that some of the Gigabyte software is really clunky and I couldn't add new utilities to the Gigabyte application, namely their fan speed controller. I also had problems with storemi that forced me to uninstall, reformat and…

Pros
  • Complete kit
Cons
  • Negative impression

Update 1 - POST failed

Update 1 - MB replacement arrived, same problem. I contacted GigaByte, they told me that the BIOS on the B450 is not configured for the AMD 3000 series processor and needs to be updated. The trick is to update the BIOS without POST and without video. They came up with several solutions, none of which impress me: 1 - Send them an MB and they will update it. 2 - Take it to your local store and ask for it. allows you to boot, update the BIOS. 4- Install the 2000 series processor which should boot…

Pros
  • Inspires confidence
Cons
  • Something is wrong

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…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Almost everything is there
