Similar to my other gigabyte motherboards, very well designed and laid out, the materials and components exude quality in this range.
Product received very quickly, well packaged, motherboard updated as requested, works very well without any problems on my new PC configuration with the ryzen 7 7800X3D.
Good motherboard, except for the latest F8x bios, which are unstable with certain processors (7600x).
Prefer previous versions of bios until this has been resolved.
Thanks to LDC Merignac for their availability.
I bought the Gigabyte B650 AORUS Elite AX motherboard with a Rysen 7 7700X processor, a Noctua NH-U12S heatsink, a Crucial DDR5 32GB memory (2 x 16GB) and a Crucial P5 Plus 500GB M.2 SSD, to upgrade a PC to Windows 11. This motherboard requires a 12V 8 PIN + 4 PIN CPU power supply, I opted for a Corsair RM650 80 Plus Gold (2021). For the rest, ATX compatibility with my 2015 Corsair Carbide 300R case was not a problem. The small Front Panel Header cable attachment supplied with the motherboard is handy (the triangle of the connectors matches the +). Hardware boot up without problems.
The installation of Win 11 went smoothly with the standard BIOS configuration, the new UEFI and TPM features required by Win 11 are enabled by default. It requires the creation of a Microsoft account which initially identifies the administrator, but it is possible later to convert it to a local user and dissociate it from the Microsoft account, which suits my needs (no Microsoft smartphone or tablet). The same for other local users, reusing the same initial Microsoft account.
I particularly liked the GCC (Gigabyte Control Center) software, when installed just after Win 11, it takes care of downloading or updating all the drivers associated with the motherboard components.
