🎮 GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Elite AC Gaming Motherboard with Intel LGA1200, Z490, ATX, 2xM.2 Thermal Guard, Realtek ALC1200, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.2 Gen 2, Intel 802.11ac, 2.5 GbE LAN, RGB Fusion Review

This is the second of these boards I've tried (one from Newegg, one from Revain (because Newegg's RMA process was icy). Build 10700K, 64GB (2x32GB) Gskill RAM 3600, Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1TB Both builds are unstable with default settings on mobile and absolutely no overclocking other than the standard Turbo Boost test with all new parts ordered, with known good RAM and HDD from an old install and the same with the second 10700K (because my son and I build duplicate identical gaming rigs) and…

This motherboard is very stable. It didn't have the problems I've found in previous generations. It worked flawlessly and everything worked as expected.

Never had a problem with a Gigabyte MOBO in over 10 years and this is no exception. Running 10900k on all stock 4.9GHz cores. Front case fan for Noctua. Got two m.2 hard drives and A VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE. Remove thermal protection! This technology is complete nonsense. My m.2 drives became severely slow with m.2 protection enabled. I put it down and absolutely no problem. I guess the proximity to the 3060ti didn't help, but in general you don't want your m.2 drive to touch anything. The guards
