Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Elite (Intel LGA1151/Z390/ATX/2xM.2/Realtek ALC1220/RGB Fusion/Gaming Motherboard)

This was my first time buying used hardware and I am pleased. Replacement board after damaging my old board, this arrived quickly. Worked right out of the box, some small signs of use but that's what you get with a used product. Works great so far, I'll update my review if something goes wrong in the coming months.

The board is great, but this one was a fail. Just got a lemon this round. I've built with Gigabyte boards and I trust the quality they put into them. Even though this happened, it does not shake my confidence in the company or its products.

Got this Aorus Elite to replace a failed Asus Z390 Prime. The Prime board failed to enter the EFI bios after a while, and I didn’t want to wait on a replacement chip even though I have equipment and qualifications to solder one on. Shouldn’t have happened. This Gigabyte board is not only prettier as far as lighting and customization, but also the EFI bios has always been accessible and it hasn’t failed. The Prime had HDMI and DP for CPU graphics output, but this board only has HDMI (I know probably very few people actually want to run their dual displays on CPU graphics, but that’s what happen

Excellent product

It kind of works, haven't hit any major issues with this motherboard, but the overall quality of the product feels very mediocre. This was the first time I bought Gigabyte so not sure if that's entirely expected, I would say that was worse than other motherboards that I had previously. I don't remember the exact details (I switched to another PC some time ago), but I remember that my general impression was "meh".

Its a nice motherboard, works well. the BIOS looks clean. There is no Wifi with this board, I would reccomend getting a PCIE Wifi card or a Wifi USB stickI should see no issues with this. Its a great value for the money, if you wanted a comparable board from ASUS it would cost more.My biggest downfall with this product is installing the RGB software. There isnt as much in terms of lighting effects but it matches my ICUE profiles with a little bit of tinkering

Motherboard Box Came out all beat up and used when I bought it brand new, Opened it up to missing parts such as the covers for the SSD, no instructions and dirty/worn out parts. Then I removed the motherboard from its plastic cover and saw the CPU Slot has bent and even broken missing pins making it useable for anything. I don't have an issue with the brand Ive used there motherboards before and they work great, however they do need to pay attention with there products that they ship out and make sure to ship out the brand new products like just how the customer buys it.

It does just about everything, and it does a great job. Key things to note:The motherboard's HDMI port has no integrated graphics to power it, so it's essentially useless. You'll need to plug things into whatever graphics card you purchase.It also needs quite a bit of power -- be sure you check the number of pins available on your power supply to make sure it can power the board's overall AND CPU requirements, plus whatever else you'll be connecting.Finally, the primary SSD connector is weirdly loose. You may want to use some sort of electronic-safe putty to secure the thermal plate, otherwise
