-Good BIOS, not including my learning curve for this being my first Gigabyte mobo. -VRMs have no issue with setting manual currents in PBO. Buildzoid evaluates them and they perform as well as he predicts. -Good layout, thermals are a non-issue if there is SOME type of airflow. -Better USB port quantity on the IO than other boards (Asus, looking at your disappointing ROG B550i on this one)

Two PCIe 4.0 slots Built in WiFi and Bluetooth

Future proofing with USB4, and PCIE 5 for both graphics and NVME. Don't need the latter yet but when I do won't need to replace the board.

- Stunning White aesthetic Board - Blends Well in White Build - Plenty of Modern Features. M.2's, PCIE 5, DDR5 - 9000 Series Ready

- Feels very durable and well built - Well designed with clearly labeled connectors and slots - "EZ" switches make installing components simple and stress free - The Qualcomm wireless card on the Pro is excellent, easily the strongest built-in Bluetooth I've used so far - The motherboard worked out of the box with my 9900X. No boot issues and no need to update the BIOS. EXPO also worked as expected. - Built-in heat shields and pads for the NVME drives. My SSD never gets above 51C even though it's right under the graphics card. - High quality heat shields for the VRMs and motherboard controller - Supports PCIE5

B550 chipset Works with 3400G integrated graphics Has onboard wifi Price Personally I like MSI Bios

- Well packaged. - Excellent documentation. - Necessary accessories included.

A great choice that will not break your bank, this board has the must haves of 4 RAM Slots, and 2 M.2 Slots for a gaming PC build with the added bonus of next gen Integrated WiFi and Bluetooth that perform extremely well with the external antenna. The built-in IO faceplate is a very nice touch over the traditional snap-in, as well as the easy latch for the M.2 slots which are shielded by gorgeous thermal plates. A Sensor panel can also be attached to the motherboard for the enthusiasts and it's got your ARGB needs covered.

- Supports THREE M2 SSDs and has a very slick heatsink that covers them and that has a thermal pad (note that if also comes with some foam cubes that you should put under the SSD to prevent bending, I didnt realize that at first and had to take stuff out to place them) - No screws needed to install the M2 SSDs! it has a little thing you slide to lock it in place. - Very easy to to update the BIOS. I downloaded the BIOS update to a USB then connected it to the USB port that says BIOS and selected Q-flash from the BIOS. - It comes with WIFI - It has a little additional button that makes it pretty easy to eject the GPU in case you can't reach the usual thing you press to eject it. - GIGABYTE has software called Gigabyte Control Center that let's you do stuff like control the fan speed curves for the CPU and GPU as well as overclock. - The black one without RGB looks very slick and cool!

- PCIE 5.0 x 16 for next gen GPUs & PCIE 5.0 x 4 for M.2 slots - Wifi 7 - Beefy heatsinks including M.2 heatsink with thermal pads accommodating single & dual sided SSDs - Looks great

Nice layout Easy bios flash Booted right away with 9800x3d PCIE 5.0 2 ssd spots with no PCIE 5.0 interference

- Great layout of USB and fan connectors - Four M.2 slots. Two are supporting PCIe 5.0 - EZ PCIe release and M.2 CLIP II make installation seamless - High-quality audio capacitors

This board was a breeze to setup and flash updated bios. More than enough expandability/drive support for all your needs.

Effortless setup Great price Good IO layout Wifi ready AMD Ryzen 9000 Compatible out of the box

-Beautiful color -WIFI 7, Ethernet 5G -Audio S/PDIF connection (is a MUST if you want to connect to older AVR and older TV) -Tons of M.2 and PCIE connection

Performance and Reliability Build Quality Ease of Installation

This was the first buld I've done in a ten years. Much has changed but this mb, cpu and memory worked without any problems.
