Gigabyte Z790 AORUS PRO X WIFI7 LGA 1700 ATX Motherboard, Support Intel Core 14th/13th/12th Gen, DDR5

Used in my recent XMAS Silverstone GD11 HTPC build its running excellent. It has a very strong Bluetooth connection as I can walk to the other side of my house without losing my apple air-pod connection! As others have mentioned I did get a Version 1.0 printed in the corner. Stock Bios was V3 and after Windows 11 pro install there is a very nice software suite that I downloaded from Gigabyte that does an auto review of MOBO required drivers and also reported a new Bios version V6 available. I downloaded and installed, very easy even a novice like me can do this upgrade. I think many of the 1-star reviews are maybe the result on not doing this Bios upgrade! Enabled XMP in the Bios and new Corsair CMK32GX5M2B7000C40 VENGEANCE DDR5 32GB 2x16GB 7000MT/s RAM is showing a speed of 7000! I don't have a WiFi-7 router so no way to check this function!

I am very satisfied with this motherboard. Gigabyte has given it plenty of bells and whistles. Connectivity options are more than what I need. It's design and materials are robust and well laid out. I haven't down any overclocking yet but I'm confident that this board will handle that well. It is attractive without being overdone. I have run stability test on the CPU and GPU, the board didn't flinch. I would buy this board again and will recommend it to my friends. This is mu second Gigabyte board and I don't see myself going with any other brand.

Love the motherboard. Minus the fact that my pc was doing weird stuff and I searched for hours and couldn’t find an answer only to find a reinstalled program that I deleted and it fixed everything

The problem with this motherboard is that in order to run 32 GB of RAM. The bios needs an update or the ram stick in the second slot will not work at all before this attempt the PC work, but regardless the bio still needs to be updated because it’s way out of date, biggest issue starts once you do go to that GCC app and download the latest bio once this happens the PC gets stuck in the boot logo. You cannot press delete you cannot F12 it is stuck there completely trashing the PC even if you do a hard reset such as removing the 24 motherboard power supply plug the cpu plug, the cmos battery for 30mins, hold power button 60secs to drain left over power, and short the two prongs near cmos battery, it still will not get past the logo. I bought this motherboard a few months ago, but due to ram shortage, I waited before buying the rest of the parts to build my PC and because of this motherboard that I wasted more time.

I am very impressed with this motherboard so far. Its features, connectivity options such as USB C, and the ports are plentiful . The support for DDR5 above 7000MT/s and the memory capacity up to 128Gb is really good and I'm running 64Gb of DDR5 RAM. The boot speed is great like fast boot, even though I always disable fast boot. Despite this, it remains fast enough. While Gigabyte actually has some of the worst customer service I have ever experienced, they do offer high-quality products. I don't have a single thing bad to say about this motherboard for its price.
