Review on Gigabyte B450 AORUS V2 Motherboard by Greg Bloom

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great price and good features but YMMV on BIOS update

I bought this to use with AMD Ryzen 7 3700x and I saw a lot of people some have small obstacles related to the required BIOS update - I took a chance and got lucky as my box had an orange sticker that said "AMD Ryzen 3000 series ready" and the BIOS version F51 dated 12/20/2019 that said specific processor supported. The motherboard has amazing 7.1 channel support (I used a PCI sound card, which was good in its area but also quite "noisy" in signal) and funny LEDs on the motherboard itself. The BIOS is pretty too quirky and has some pretty good features as far as I can tell, although I haven't researched it much. Overall an amazing price, great features but be aware that a BIOS update may be required in some cases. , it requires another first or second generation CPU (I guess).

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Communication with seller
