I’ve just ordered this MOBO to go with a Intel 13700KF & 4090.

I’m unable to find any reviews as it’s such a new product, has anybody here received one and had a chance have an opinion on it yet?

I have heard issues with using the bios with Gigabyte boards but as I’m not going to be doing any over clocking I’m not too concerned.

I still have time to alter my order, so I’d anybody has any better suggestions let me know.

So I'm looking at upgrading my motherboard from an Asus b660m-a wifi d4 to a Gigabyte Z790 D AX or potentially anything else. I have essentially swapped out almost everything from my "Ready to Run" pc and this is the last piece which should semi future proof this PC for a couple years. I am at a loss with Motherboards and don't know what I should get. I know I want a 3rd M.2 slot to finally get rid of my old HDD and bringing the Ram up to the newest standard, would be awesome for longevity. But aside from that I am at a loss, all the word salad on the specs for motherboards is confusing.

Edit: I only upgraded the CPU from an i5 to an i7 late last year. Don’t intend to upgrade it until I build a brand new system in a few years time

Edit 2: After consideration and additional research I’m going to go with a different board. Gigabyte B760 DS3H AX. It’s a DDR4 board and based off what I’ve seen comparing DDR4 3600 MHz to DDR5 7200 MHz, the difference is maybe a couple percentage points at best. I’ll still get the better RGB and fan controlling software I want from Gigabyte and the USB-C port at the back I want plus the 2.5gb lan port. In the next couple years when DDR6 is likely available I’ll do my big upgrade but until then, no point wasting $700 on an upgrade that’s a negligible boost

Recommendations or advice would be very appreciated

I have:

CPU - i7 12700KF LGA1700

Graphics - RTX 4080 Super

Ram - 4x 16GB DDR4 3200 MHz (I will be swapping this out for DDR5 if the board needs it)

Storage - 2x M.2 2280 and a 3.5" internal hard drive - SATA

Cooling - 5x case fans and 2x CPU fans (probably a little overkill with the fans but I had extras)

Power - DA850R gold

Case - Lancool 216 (explains 3x of my fans)

PS: I am also doing this to build my friend (who is new to PC gaming and doesnt want or need top of the line parts, he's happy with playing at 1080p HD) my old pc, so he can stop playing on a laptop

Hey, I recently purchased a used pc (which is fairly new)

It’s got a gigabyte z790 MB with an intel i7 14700. The guy I bought it off had 1 stick of 16gb crucial DDR5 (4800mhz) ram in there.

I thought I’d be a hero and put 2x 32gb dual channel kits in (4x16gb Corsair Vengeance DDR5 6400MHz CL36) for a total of 64gb.

I didn’t realise that it had to be overclocked to get beyond the 4800mhz speed. It’s currently running at around 4500 according to the gigabyte Uefi stats.

I played around with the XMP settings in the uefi menu and set it to 5600 and then the computer wouldn’t turn on properly and the DRAM light was lit up orange and flashing between CPU and DRAM. The only way to fix it was to pull 2 of the ram sticks out, go back to bios and change the setting back to auto then put the ram back in.

Can anyone please help with tips on how I can best utilise this ram to get the maximum value out of it while keeping the system stable as it’s run as a home server.
