Gigabyte B650M AORUS ELITE AX ICE Reviews

Beautiful, Fast, and EASY

I've been building computers for over 20 years, and this was the easiest experience I've had putting a computer together yet. The documentation was simple, BIOS settings were a breeze and uncomplicated, and everything fit nicely. For the first time in my life, I completed the build, pressed POWER, and everything just WORKED. Components used were Ryzen 7600X, G.SKILL Royal Neo CL28 DDR5 6000 2x16GB RAM, MSI 4070 Ti Super, Super Flower Leadex 7 1000 Watt PSU, and Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD. Never had a build go so smoothly, and the complexity of motherboards is usually the most intimidating part. Well, it was the easiest part this time. And the ICE versions just look darn pretty. The software for lighting control is decent, but a bit unintuitive. That's okay, though, as it's not something you use often. I will definitely be recommending Gigabyte boards in the future. Thanks for a smooth experience!!

Good motherboard for AMD Ryzen 5 9900x

Booted the first time. You have to wait for it to reboot a few times for it to recognize your CPU and RAM. After that it gets into the BIOS which is okay. Installed Windows and running great ever since. Only had it for 2 weeks. This is replacing the same board that had the socket pins damaged. Please be careful when inserting your processor. The AM5 socket pins are raised and very fragile. Place your CPU at a 45 degree angle at the top notch then ease it down. Then clamp it down. Lots of fan headers and RGB headers for different RGB connectors. Gigabyte app is okay. Lets you control RGB and fans. I haven't tried the AMD tuning yet. The 9900x is fine on this with a Pearless Assasin 120SE. Shipping was faster than Amazon and packed in a bigger box than Amazon. B&H always has the best double boxing so your original box is like you picked it off the shelf yourself.
