It is a very solid motherboard. The build quality is great. The overclocking (OC) presets are good but the CPU runs too hot at the 5.1 GHz (all-core) preset so you will need to under-volt it so your CPU does not thermal throttle. It has a default OC that will OC your CPU right out of the box. It also has a gaming OC preset and all-core OC preset.
I can recommend this motherboard but only if you would be okay to risk using Gigabyte RMA services. I have seen countless YouTubers, such as JayzTwoCents, Gamers Nexus, Graphically Challenged, etc., and read a bunch of Reddit posts of bad RMA support from Gigabyte. However, I have contacted Gigabyte support to ask for help on some issues and they are pretty quick to respond. From my experience, they have great customer service. I have not had to deal with an RMA though. This is a solid mobo and I am overall very happy with the purchase.
You can run your 12700K at 5.1 GHz all-core at low temps with an AIO (280 or higher) and possibly some dual-tower CPU coolers. Just keep in mind that the heat emitted from the dual-tower CPU cooler could decrease the lifespan of your other hardware, such as your RAM. A small chance of that but still a chance. I OCed my 12700K to 5.1 GHz all-core and, under load (Intel XTU and Cinebench R23), it reaches up to 75°C. If I use Sony Vegas to render a video using the CPU, it will not go above 65°C. It usually stays in the 50s. If I open a game, such as Minecraft, it will jump to 55°C and then stay in the 20-30°C range the entire time I game. More production-heavy stuff like video/photo/3D editing/rendering, will not go above 65°C.
It comes with a Dr. Debug LED and LED troubleshooting lights. It also allows you to start your mobo without the case power cables connected. You can also restart this mobo without the case reset cable. The reset button is the white button to the right of the CMOS battery.
The audio is great too, no mobo feedback in the headset. The MOSFETS stay cool under load - about 55-60°C.
It works just fine with Windows 11. In my case, I did not have to enable secure boot or TPM 2.0 as it was already enabled by default. Windows 10 will work fine as well.
If you have any issues with DDR5 RAM, just make sure this mobo supports your DIMMs of choice, and please pay attention to the BIOS version. If you have any issues, such as RAM incompatibility, download and install the latest BIOS, which is F8f at the point of writing this review. They list what changes they made. Most RAM will just work even if it is not listed in the QVL. However, the QVL is just a safer option especially since DDR5 is so new.
It also has very subtle RGB that you can configure (the "AORUS" located on the VRM heatsink). I set mine to the wave. You can also set it to stay on while your PC is in sleep, hibernating, or shut down.
Overall, I love this mobo. A Dr. Debug, power and reset switch on the mobo itself at this price is just insane. The only thing it skimped out on is Wi-Fi 6E. It has WiFi 6 though. That is not a deal-breaker for me because I use ethernet but the Wi-Fi works great, nonetheless. I tested it and got great and consistent download speeds (537.19Mbps) on my Wi-Fi 6E router at 1.2Gbps. There are some tricks to increase your Wi-Fi speeds but it takes some CMD knowledge. The bottom of the antenna is magnetic, so it has no issues staying on your case. It kinda makes it look like a shark. If you use ethernet, you'll add it on top anyway for looks lol.
My son and I wanted to build a computer... this was on sale so decided to get this Gigabyte z690 Aoros pro. This mb has it all. DDR5 support. lot sof m2 slots. easy diag.
I might get another.
However, after installing everything by first time, the board turned on, but I had no video.
What was happening is that this motherboard reset the bios and then takes three rebooting to work properly.
After that, I installed everything and worked well.
Also, updated the bios to F8 and now is all good.
Another drawback the DDR 5 model has, is that I found difficult to install the ram. incredible but truth.
You have to apply too much force to install the ram, something strange as installing ram is a straightforward process.
Overall , a good motherboard that runs fine.
So happy so far.
It's been two weeks now and no response on the RMA. It's not likely that will solve the problem anyway, so I ended up buying a 2.5Gb PCI card and it's been working fine since then.
