BEST SELLERS

In Intel Motherboards

I was looking for a professional motherboard that supported the LGA1700 socket for new Intel processors, as well as plenty of slots for DDR4 memory and PCIe cards. This board was a great choice and included plenty of M.2 storage slots. A great choice for me as I was looking to support multiple VM's in a home lab scenario.

Durable, Reliable, State of the art features

Future proof. -Supports the latest Intel CPU. -A lot of back I/O USB port. -Solid construction. -RGB lighting on board and Support for RGB strips. -M.2 ready -Intel Optane ready The UEFI utitlity is great.

ALERT! It's 2025 already, and this motherboard will not recognize a GPT-partitioned device as bootable! Once I figured out why I didn't seem to have any bootable drives, I formatted and partitioned my M2 SSD with a MS-DOS partition table, and it was good to go. I bought a pair of 24 GB G.Skill Trident DDR5 DIMMs that are listed on the ASROCK QVL. The CPU is an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF. I learned that my nice legacy heatsink was incompatible with the heatsink footprint (the 4 holes) on a LGA 1851, so I bought a Noctua NH-D9L and it works great. CPU temp with air cooling is 32-35C. I;ve been a pretty reliable Asus MB user over the years, but this ASROCK unit is getting the job done for me and I have zero regrets for this decision.

Build Quality 2xUSB-C ports on the back Good VRM phases with beefy heatsinks Asus Bios runs smooth and is easy to navigate Runs DDR5 7200mhz out of the box

-Great looking silver design -Nice amount of USB ports (3 USB-C ports, one on the front and with one of them being for audio on the back) -Asus Aura is one of the better RGB software -Wifi 6

After coming back to PC building from a 12 year hiatus (stopped in 2012, picking back up in 2024) I was in the market for a motherboard capable of handling my i9-9900K, and GTX 980 Ti Hybrid's in SLI. Dug around for a couple weeks researching and this was the solution. What I like about this board is: - One of the few SLI capable boards on the market, which was a requirement for me - Quality VRM, and phase system(s) - Has capability for Corsair iCue RGB management thru the motherboard RGB headers itself, which is useful for my SP120 / RX120 fans - I/O shield built into the VRM cooler, so one-piece install. No more pesky IO shields to remove. - 4-pin ATX-12V connector for CPU isn't required unlike some other cheaper motherboards that force running both power cables to operate the system - Just useful for overclockers pushing 150+ watts on CPU and need more power. - The nifty little front I/O Panel connector clip to "quick disconnect" your power switches is BALLER - No clue why other motherboard manufacturers haven't done this for their customers... made it super easy getting that right 1st try without cracking open the manual for help. - Overclocking features are far more detailed and accessible compared to my previous Asus Prime Z390-P. - Small things like the positioning of the SATA ports, locations of fan headers, etc show Gigabyte has thought about people and the complex systems we like to assemble.

I started this journey by purchasing a ram upgrade for a Z370 motherboard (the same one being offered with this board). I then saw this particular deal come and go, and ended up buying a combo deal with board and processor which pretty much considered the ram price in the total discount for the combo. So I'm running the ram, i5-2600k processor, and this board in my system now. Reading the reviews I was worried about potential problems. Also, I've never owned a Gigabyte board. Had my fun with Asus, Asrock, Aopen, Tyan, but never Gigabyte. Also, I was upgrading without installing Windows 11 from scratch. I was surprised at how well things went with the board replacement, and so far I've had NO problems. Everything just worked. New board booted up without issue on my rig.
