Comes with an unacceptably buggy BIOS version, but otherwise works

This motherboard came with an outdated BIOS version that isn't even listed on the Gigabyte support page, causing constant desktop crashes and resulted in a full system crash with rtx 3080 The problem appeared to be related to powering the x16 PCIe slot, but it was difficult to diagnose, so I can't say for sure. Upgrading to F6c solved the problem and I am now happy with this board in its current state. However, buyers shouldn't be expected to flash their BIOS just to have a working product, and it's ridiculous that it should come in a virtually unusable state alongside a current-gen flagship GPU. This is probably the last Gigabyte motherboard I'll be buying for a while.
