What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Great entry b660 motherboard. Cpu fan connector and 3 fan connectors which you can control the fans in the bios. Only downside is that this motherboard is limited to pci-e 3.
Wi-fi 6e, bluetooth, more than 2 m. Bluetooth. Using with benq projector and streaming/bluray optical drive 130 movie screen is awesome. Good for office and light gaming use.
Cons
Look up their melting video cards rma. Support team has no real-time chat capability. Amazon service is outstanding as usual, but it's enormously frustrating when two boards were doa.
Even in the latest bios revision, attempting memory speed above 3000 causes instability and bsod. Saving bios settings broke them again.
The motherboard does not have an led or a speaker to help troubleshoot. The screen is just black. Don't waste your money on this and go buy an msi or asus board.

Quality control wise it seems gigabyte is good.
I believe the problem was with the older ssd.
Price
The bios xpg is up to date so no problems.
Lately they seem quite full of themselves price wise.
Competitiveness
Wifi 6 works better than the cat6 wires that i have routed through the house.
While there are some limitations to this motherboard, its price and performance make it a worthwhile investment.
I bought an am4 asus motherboard for over 150 that still only had a gigbit ethernet port.

The only other option is to download the drivers on a flash memory stick from a separate computer and then install them on windows

It is more of an inconvenience than anything either you need to have readily accessible cat6 or a spare computer to download drivers
