Review on ๐ŸŽฎ GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Elite: High-Performance ATX Gaming Motherboard with Advanced Features by Nick Andep

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not sure if this mobo is worth it.

All hardware is installed and working great. Windows 10 downloaded, everything is fine. I loaded the drivers and everything was perfect. The power cord was removed to move the PC from the build area to the desktop. Now Windows won't boot. Uggs No overclocking yet. With Viper memory, i7 chip. windows restarted. The same thing. Restarts normally until the device is powered off. It ended up not even booting the Windows CD. I'm sitting at the Aorus screen right now. I thought it was a bad mobo so I replaced it. Revain is great for that! The new motherboard does that too. So I tried other memories. Moved from an M.2 drive to a regular SATA drive. The only thing that stays the same is the CPU and the Corsair 850W power supply. I'll order an ASUS piece of furniture and see what happens, but first. Things seem a little iffy.

Pros
  • Dual Channel Unbuffered DDR4 Non-ECC 4 DIMMs
Cons
  • Nervous
