This is my preferred board for many builds. I really like it. Pro 1: Good feature set for a budget board (3x fan headers, USB 3.2, Q-Flash, 2x aRGB headers, 6 pin CPU power). Pro 2: They always worked out of the box and has made reliable computer builds over time. Cons: None at this moment. Would I buy it again? No because the AM5 platform exists.

I love budget Gigabyte boards but the places they cut corners make having more than a few drives and cd burners tough. The micro ATX layout makes it mostly impossible to add a video card. Compared to other mfgs in the budget arena, there are only 4 SATA ports and you loose 2 with two m2 sticks. You can get a pcie addon, but you get an additional boot screen while the card initiates. This board is stable and a good match to my AMD 3200G and 3500G. I like Gigabyte's control panel. Board was stable and worked well with Linux and windows dual boot. Upgrading is always an issue with microatx but this board was a little tighter in the pcie slot arena than other mfgs. 4 SATA vs 6 another ding. Most budget boards give up a SATA or pcie lane with a second m2 stick. This board worked so well I only dinged 1 star for pcie closeness and 4 SATA. If there were any performance issues it would be 2 stars. Other mfgs do a little better in design even on micros in these areas.

I'm pretty pleased with my Mobo so far, just installed it yesterday. The process was surprisingly easy and fairly quick. I won't be doing any sort of overclocking, so stability likely wont be an issue. Major recommendation if you only have a stock fan, be sure to go into your advanced settings and disable the boosted cpu performance, and quiet fan settings, the cpu will run extremely hot until you do (disabling dropped my max temps from high 70's down to low 60's under load). The UEFI is fairly intuitive, which I greatly appreciate. The biggest selling point for me was the "out of the box" compatibility with my new Ryzen 5 3600 cpu. I literally didn't have to do anything but build the system. Works great, great price, I am very happy with it already. Here is to hoping for many years of gaming and video editing on my new system!
