Customer Review
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2024Arrived well packaged and new, as some have said the boxes were open well this one wasn’t it was sealed. I paired it with a new ryzen 7 5700x. Now this cpu will work with this motherboard but not out the box. You need to go to the gigabyte website and download the latest bios. Make sure you get the correct revision. The revision is on the white label on the box so this one was rev 1.7. Download the bios from the website, extract the folder and place the update bin file on a usb stick formatted to fat32. Then rename the update file to gigabyte.bin. Put usb stick in the usb port which has bios next to it on the io panel and press the a flash button. Wait for it to update ( about 3 mins max ) there is a little led in the board next to the a flash button which when it stops flashing the update is done. That’s it the board will now suppprt the latest Ryzen CPUs.
Also, the motherboard would only boot with 1 stick of RAM, which I thought was strange. To get it to work with 2 sticks I had to boot into bios with just 1 stick installed and change the ram profile to xmp profile 1. Save and exit. I installed the other stick of RAM and it works fine. Been using it all day yesterday and today and it’s amazing. The auto overclock boost works well.
after having this motherboard for a couple of months now I have found it to be excellent. i have manually overclocked the CPU to 4.7ghz and it has been stable and good. I have recently just built another system with an identical CPU but went with a b550 msi Tomahawk. I would say the gigabyte is equally as good as the MSI motherboard in fact I prefer the gigabyte.
