Pros & Cons
Pros
Gigabyte's preloaded app center makes it really easy to install all the most up to date drivers in a few clicks. Built-in wifi/bluetooth is also really nice. Only gripe is the labeling of the front i/o pins and a lack of instructions.
This motherboard is an absolute beast! It has plenty of pci. E lanes, a usb c header on the motherboard, and a built in i. C header. The build quality of the motherboard is solid and the bios were easy to update.
I think a covering to keep foreign material out of the socket is really important. Replaced the shroud very carefully and trimmed the plug (from a gigabyte modular power supply) to reduce the friction.
Cons
Drivers and instructions are nonexistent. Trying to reset the bios is like pulling teeth. No lights no anything. Flakey installs and it's hard to detect what the source is.
Bad design and could have been made much simpler. The ram slots are crunchy like they have sand in them. Overall i would look for a different motherboard if you're wanting to use fast ram.
As a gaming board this is unacceptable. The layout of the board is * when its an itx board more thought should of been considered with the layout.
Highlights
Quality
Best thing about this board it can be highly tweaked.
Bios is easy to work with, no post leds but if it boots for you then no problem.
Probably one of the best quality itx boards for the am4 platform
Bummer but the board is so great it still gets 5 stars.
Price
Not bad for a $129 board which was all she "needed".
For everything she bought she had like $250 invested in a new to her build.
Competitiveness
I usually only use gigabyte, but used a lesser motherboard from gigabyte, and it was doa.
