[LGA 1700] It's a good motherboard for the price. Wish i wouldve waited for the 14th gen intel stuff to drop to build a new comp but it is what it is. Paired with a 13700k 5

[2x 4-Pin Pump] I've built a lot of computers over the last 30+ years, starting with motherboards that used jumper settings. Builds keep getting easier and this one was the easiest of all. Much of the basic tuning and setup with this MB is automatic. With only the XMP tuning turned on, my I9-14900 processor, with a claimed boost of up to 6mhz, was a solid 5.5mhz+ under 100% load. Improving the case cooling a bit may help, but the performance is already way beyond my needs and expectations. There were only two issues encountered with the build. First was my using a several generations old GPU (980ti) which resulted in no video (am on a waiting list for a current version). Resurrected my old system, found the fix (flashed the GPU's BIOS), and was up and running on the new build in short order. The other problem was a bug in the onboard flash program. Using the GUI buttons to progress through the flash process resulted in an error message. Found a several years old forum response about the same issue. The fix was to double click on the BIOS file name instead of using the GUI buttons. You'd think that a bug like that would have been fixed or at least the instructions would now say to double click the file name. But, no... let the peons suffer. But I digress. I like the motherboard. Truly, the slickest thing is how M.2 SSD's are installed. Flip a tiny rotary lever and the included heat sink comes off. Insert the SSD stick, push it down, flip another rotary lever and the SSD stick clicks into place. The heat sink goes back on the same way. Too slick. If I have a grip it's that adding M.2 SSDs after the install requires pulling the video card. Yeah, I know, waaaahhhh. :-) Good product. Maxed out the heat during the burn-in and had zero crashes. I really do think I'm going to like this build! Highly recommended! 5

[1x Serial] I was reluctant to spend so much on a motherbaord, but once I brought it to life I was so happy that I did. This thing does it all and is extremely well built. The PCI slot is heavily reinforced for my 4090 FE card and does not not sag in the least. Installation and assembly of all the companents was super easy and I really enjoy the pin covers to hide everything. This thing has PCIe 5.0 for NVME drives, loads of NVME slots for 4.0 drives, and ample USB plugs. The info screen is awesome to track CPU temps, RAM temps, fan speeds etc. If you want the best, then this is it. My build...

[4x RGB] I was looking to build a new creator PC to edit in Davinci Resolve. The Gigabyte aero G came as a recommended MB by Tech Notice and it performs great. 5

Steven	22/06/2024
[128 GB] This a fantastic board, but make sure it will fit in your case! Look for one with the XL-ATX spec. It took me 3 tries to get the right one! I wanted/needed a board with plenty of storage options, and the 7 M.2 slots, plus 6 SATA ports filled the bill for me. I haven't played with the M-Vision gadget yet, but it is definitely a substantial added value. If you have the money and the case for it, I do recommend the Godlike. Plus, dude, the name! GODLIKE! LOL 5
