Review on GIGABYTE B550 AORUS Elite: Feature-Rich AM4 AMD B550 ATX Gaming Motherboard with Dual M.2 and USB 3.2 Gen2 by Matthew Bahri

Luckily now after the released BIOS update. So, as long as you have the latest and most up-to-date version from their website (F13 at the time of writing this article), you shouldn't have the problems listed previously. After the update I was able to reset to factory settings and the problems no longer occurred. line and fortunately found a solution. This was most likely caused by driver and bios updates over time, or I was just lucky I didn't run into it right away as this is a VERY common issue with this board and many other B550 boards. But for some weird reason I had a big and very recurring problem with my random full internet shutdown and had to reconnect the ethernet cable to my computer to fix it every time it happened. Then when I tried to use my virtual headset (Valve Index) with my computer and play a game on it, or when I tried to stream a game in Discord, ALL my USB devices plugged into the PC disconnected immediately. 3 seconds later one of these things happened which was frustrating as every solution I could think of or try to find wouldn't fix it for a while. Having looked into this, this is a very, very common issue with this motherboard and many others like it, and somehow it hasn't been fixed in a BIOS update yet. Luckily for me this seems to have been easily fixed by going into the BIOS and changing the PCIe to Gen3 instead of Gen4 as the problems have since stopped and I can both stream games to Discord and play VR. Play fine again. For me personally, this didn't change anything in terms of performance and now everything works without problems. I'm not sure if this is just an issue with newer Ryzen CPUs or NVIDIA GPUs paired with this motherboard, but if it is and you get this mobo I hope this is the issue for you fixes if you encounter this problem ! *Initial review as of 11/11/2020: I'm not that good with the specific pros and cons of the motherboard in terms of BIOS features and what not, but so far I really like this mobo and haven't had any issues with it now. I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 7 5800X from an i7-8700 on a Z370 board as I was lucky enough to get my hands on it. But when I received this board, it wasn't immediately compatible with the new AMD Zen 3/5000 series processors and required a BIOS flash out-of-the-box to get it installed and working. This wasn't a problem and the information in the description of this motherboard right on the Revain store page tells you in detail how to do it step by step, just make sure you have a USB drive with your computer to download it File required for the firmware. That. All I can say is that I am very happy with this motherboard and would definitely recommend it.
