Started straight out of the box. I chose the memory on the gigabyte site in the compatible section. G.Skill Ripjaws S5
32 Gb, 7500F. Bios was F1. Changed to F2. According to reviews, the most optimal.
If you use green JEDEC RAM - top board. Unfortunately, it definitely likes almost no RAM. So that it doesn't just say that ... Corsair Vengeance 5600 CL 36 XMP 1.25V - No 6000 CL 36 1.35V - No. ADATA Lancer 6000 - No - Fury RGB 5600 - No. AMD is now tough and if you want fast booting - you buy the right RAM. Ergo in the AMD specs. With Kingston 2 x 32 GB 4800 CL40 1.1V - 1A.
The headers are great and the Control Centre is also practical - albeit intrusive with some bloatware like Norton ...

A very good motherboard for 130. I had a typical DRAM error for an AM4/AM5 mainboard. This was easy to fix, but still annoying.

I'm a bit disappointed with the board. It was recommended to me in a Community for my new PC. Unfortunately, only a very poor description is included. There is no plan for all the pin assignments. As soon as the board is in the case, you can no longer read the labelling on the board itself and would have to rely on an assembly plan.
The top left screw is so close to the heat sink that I didn't manage to reach down there with a screwdriver and screw to hit the hole to insert the screw. I'll never understand why boards aren't screwed in from behind, it would be much easier.
The hole for the screw under the heat sink is in a recess, the purpose of which I cannot recognise. The screw falls in there 100 times across and you just can't get it into the hole because you can't fit your fingers in there. This was also thought up by an absolute idiot.
All in all, I would not buy the product again for these reasons and can only advise against it.
I'm annoyed that I didn't go for the ASUS Tuf board.
