Mixed feelings best on computer components

The MB I ordered was DOA junk with the box open. Got a replacement and it worked perfectly the first time. I mainly build high performance PCs for gamers, but this MB is not enough for that. I used this MB for an elderly person who only does email and online shopping. It's just great for that. i7 10700k, 32GB RAM, 500GB M.2 SSD.

Pros
  • Good product for its price
Cons
  • Quality

Good board, starting to cut corners

Gigabyte is always a good board. Hundreds of computers assembled with their megabytes. Feel this is an overall good board. Just feel like they're using current issues to cut features just to increase profits. Surprised it only had one case fan connector. The front one has been omitted. There was a tag but there was no connection. I'm sure it saved money on scale. About 0.5 cents per unit. I would pay for it. They also removed the USB 3.0 port on the back. Again the fitting was simply not…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Style 90

Three bad motherboard boards

I thought this board would be awesome with decent specs and a great price (especially these days). I have used these boards in three different builds. The first board won't be released in a few days. The second board's BIOS freezes and I can't change any settings in it. The third board's IGP just started working and stopped working a week after installation. Different RAM, processor, power supply, everything, in everyone. Replace parts as needed for troubleshooting. The only similarity here is…

Pros
  • Best of its kind
Cons
  • alt

gigabytes up for grabs!

The Gigabyte Ultra Durable range has always been a very solid budget option and this motherboard continues that trend! The board is definitely a no frills component, for the system I built with it it was perfect. But it's definitely pretty spartan when it comes to expansion slots. When it comes to gaming and general use as long as you use a lower powered processor like i3 in my case the VRM doesn't overheat and the lack of VRM heatsinks isn't really a problem in my case but might be for you, if

Pros
  • Comfortable to use
Cons
  • No mold required

Gigabyte's website states that the GIGABYTE B460M DS3H V2 supports 11th Gen Intel processors. They don't work with Gen 11 out of the box! For use with 11th generation processors, you must update the BIOS to version F21 or later. There are two had to do this.1). Install a 10th Gen CPU on the motherboard and press DEL when the computer starts to enter the BIOS. After entering the BIOS, follow the update instructions. You can download the BIOS from the Gigabytes website and save it to a USB flash…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Everything is fine
