So the BIOS is still updated almost 2 years later. (updated to support the resized bar for graphics cards). I don't do overclocking, so I won't judge on that.
Just updating the BIOS via the USB port, the software supplied by Gigabyte doesn't work very well (besides, it's been inadvisable to update the BIOS from Windows for a very long time).
Recommended motherboard, easily understandable in the bios is the xmp profile easy to access it is in the front row you can not miss or wrong
Hello,
I find this motherboard very satisfying, no problem for the assembly.
I used it with a Ryzen 9 3900X, delivered with a F13 BIOS version (almost up to date), the processor was taken care of right away.
The Q-Flash is very fast, update completed in 15 mins.
I recommend it.
The DVI and HDMI ports on the motherboard did not recognise either of my 2 monitors... had to install a graphics card! I thought the MC was out of order.
Only 4 SATA3 ports, I had 6 on my old ASROCK which died...
I don't give it 5 stars because one of the sata sockets is unusable due to the graphics card blocking access. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to get a large graphics card. I'm not sure if it's a good product or not, but it's still a very good product and I didn't have any problems with it.
