I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

In general, everything works, but these tricks with DisplayPort and the monitor turned off really upset me. For the money, it could actually work. With its pros: There are enough ports and holes, m2 as many as two pieces, a gigabit network. Everything except DisplayPort works. Cons: If the monitor is plugged into the DisplayPort video card, then the computer does not start - five beeps. Everything works with HDMI. Also, at the boot stage, the computer thinks for a long time if it is turned on…

Not everything is so bad, but there are disadvantages.

Maybe someone will help. New platform - all equipment is new, ordered, assembled - 5 short beeps (processor error). After that, a whole day of dancing with a tambourine: I reassembled it, installed another PSU, shoveled a bunch of information / foruses, there was an option that because of the video card: I clarified about compatibility with PCie5, plugged it into other ports, checked it without VP . 5 short beeps. I already wanted to hand it over, but I would have to hand over the whole bunch…

Pros
  • PCIe 5.0 enough ports (PCIe, sata, M2, USB 2\3\3.2, FAN.) work with XMP profiles (Patriot Memory VIPER STEEL 16 GB (8 GB x 2) DDR4 3733 MHz CL17;
Cons
  • Gigabyte (in comments)

The item was good, I'll recommend it to my friends.

In general, I managed to do without reinstalling windows 10 only on Bios F3 (downloaded from the site) and with CSM mode enabled (I also later rolled back the BIOS from F5 back to F3). I had to change the power supply. for some reason, the mother refused to work with the old one (chiftek 2022) at 1250 watts. The attached screw for fixing the M2 ssd immediately fell off the head with the slightest screwing, which indicates the low quality of the metal. Returning to Bios, I want to add that it is

Pros
  • A lot of the latest technologies on board, a good RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting program, a lot of fan headers, the ability to flash the BIOS to a previous version
Cons
  • A very raw buggy motherboard BIOS that literally forces you to reinstall windows. does not see the operating system on boot disks (sees the disks themselves in CSM mode), the screws for fixing the M2 ssd are of very poor quality, poor equipment for such a price

It was a bad idea to buy it, the money was wasted.

I wanted to fix it under warranty, but after 2 weeks of fuss, the warranty repair was denied, the reason was overclocking my cpu, but this is a Z chipset, why do I need it if I can’t drive K stones, it works without backlighting yet. I will ate my review if anything changes. Has pros: Top-end (at the time of release) chipset, normal vrm cooling, a plug installed from the factory (always infuriates them), normal sound, 3+. Different cons: After 10 months of operation, the backlight fell off…

I do not cease to rejoice at the purchase, a very good deal!

A good option for building on DDR4. The stock BIOS version F1 did not see the Samsung 970 EVO SSD M2, although it is listed as supported on the official website. I flashed it for the F5 BIOS version, everything worked right away, so keep in mind that the board is new, you will need to flash it, this is done quite easily from the BIOS. All in all, an entry-level z-chipset board, but will cover all the basic requirements. In light of the inadequate price, DDR5 is a bargain. At my own risk, I took

Pros
  • Good VRM system Support for all 12 generation Intel processors Lots of pins for coolers, for RGB and sRGB Reinforced PCI Express slot, which version 5
Cons
  • Price Chipset without cooler The video card covers the second slot under M2, if you need to remove it - first remove the video card. At the connection point of the main harness 24 PIN, the board is pressed through! Be careful.
