Realtek 8118 LAN is a high performance and friendly network chip for gaming players with automatic bandwidth allocation to ensure the highest network priority of the game or application. It can provide users the most comprehensive features and the fastest and smoothest Internet experience.
GIGABYTE motherboards use ICs with up to 3 times the ESD resistance levels compared to traditional ICs. This helps to better protect the motherboard and its components against potential damage caused by static electricity. GIGABYTE motherboards also feature special anti-surge ICs that protect your motherboard, and your PC from any surge in power delivery that may occur, helping to ensure that your PC is equipped to deal with any potentially irregular and inconsistent power delivery.
With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers-giving you absolute mastery over your PC.
All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
> VR requires more performance than Full HD graphics for a steady 90FPS or greater.
> Only Gaming PCs can provide the best VR experience.
Personalize your next PC rig to your liking by selecting the color of your choice to illuminate the external RGB light strip. A total of 7 colors are available to make your system appearance unique!
There is nothing more harmful to the longevity of your PC than moisture, and most parts of the world experience moisture in the air as humidity at some point during the year. GIGABYTE motherboards have been designed to make sure that humidity is never an issue, incorporating a new Glass Fabric PCB technology that repels moisture caused by humid and damp conditions. Glass Fabric PCB technology uses a new PCB material which reduces the amount of space between the fiber weave, making it much more difficult for moisture to penetrate compared to traditional motherboard PCBs. This offers much better protection from short circuit and system malfunction caused by humid and damp conditions.

I have built a system with this board and been using for 3 weeks. And it's been working good. No issues.
It has all the basic things you need and supports new Ryzen 3rd gen CPUs too.
But, it doesn't come with the latest BIOS update, which doesn't support gen 4 PCIe m.2 nvme ssd.
It has only 2 x DDR4 DIMM and if you are using full size GPU, it will block 1 of SATA port for use.
So, if you are not buying high end Ryzen 7 and not going to use gen 4 m.2 nvme, this board will do you just fine.

Very clean and simple motherboard nothing wrong about it, except would have rathered it have more fan plug. but overall it's a good board. Very clean and simple motherboard nothing wrong about it, except would have rathered it have more fan plug. but overall it's a good board.
Could only access 2/4 of the SATA3 ports due to my GPU (RX560 sapphire) blocking two of the SATA3 ports. Seems like a silly design for a MOBO as my GPU isn't that big or high end.

The board detected my 3200g fine without any bios update. I'm running 3 SATA devices and 2 sticks of 8GB DDR4 2600mhz ram and had no issues with the setup. Performance is fine with no noticeable bottlenecks. The BIOS can be a little confusing but most of the options can be configured there. 4 stars because of Gigabytes poor "app centre" software - the software is used to configure fans, rgb, bios updates etc but is very unstable and crashes a lot. I ended up setting up my fan curve in the bios as the "app centre" would either not run or hang. This is a very common complaint on the internet about the software.

I would recommend the board but be wary of the Gigabyte software and try and configure options in the bios rather than trying to use the software.
The installation pamplet's not the model of clairty as installing a wraith cooler on the CPU left me confused for several hours until I finally looked it up on youtube to find the one step they left out.
Otherwise works fine and has been for some weeks now. Would recommend for a basic upgrade.

This has all the basic features needed for a MB but I would have a appreciated a 3 pin connector for system fans This has all the basic features needed for a MB but I would have a appreciated a 3 pin connector for system fans

A great and cheap motherboard for any Ryzen CPU. Supports overclocking too. However, it doesn't come with that many ports so a possible hub is needed depending on the situation.

This is is a good basic motherboard.
The RAM is a bit tight fitting against the Ryzen stock cooler.to fit memory first.
Con is that the audio output gives a hum if no active input. All other Gigabyte boards have been silent.
Also, while not a point against it as these things happen in mass manufactured items, the audio failed. Rest of board fine.
Overall a good board, if you want something that is not top notch. Good value.

Does the job well, pretty easy to understand what goes where, quality appears to be really good so far Does the job well, pretty easy to understand what goes where, quality appears to be really good so far
After using for the last 3 weeks i can say that it works perfectly fine. Only things i do not like is the layout of the bios (a little bit unusual to go through at first, but you get used to it), and the location of one of the SATA ports, which interferes with long graphics cards if you do not use a right angled connector. I defenitely recommend this board. After using for the last 3 weeks i can say that it works perfectly fine.
