I purchased this motherboard to replace my mini ITX board. My 8700K while long in the tooth is still good at higher resolutions.

Pros: Plenty of fan headers, some boards I've seen like 3 of them and that's it. You have to use a fan controller board to get all of your fans running. Coming from a mini ITX with two memory slots, I can now expand my memory to 32 GBs from 16. Fast wifi, in my basement, my previous motherboard could get 166 MBPS in my basement. My new motherboard I can get 520 MBPS. Last plus, USB-C header for the front panel, something my last board lacked.

Cons: Well, price for a motherboard that's almost 6 years old. I get this board for a deal brand new. However, unless there's another sell, it's hard paying $230 to $300 for an old motherboard.

Items of note:
1 has no l.e.d. fancy lights.
2 looks great
3 is a 12 pin BUT can run on 8 pin
4 has (1) 3.0 USB plug so you may need an adapter to use all of your tower USB's.
5 mobo is clearly marked for easy installation.
This is a great mobo. I hope you have as great of an experience as I am with it!

As good as new!

The previous owner took such great care of this motherboard! It included all the parts, discs, cables, every last screw. Not a single scratch was found, and even some of the peel-able plastic was still there! Not only was it used with great care, but repackaged lovingly. I feel privileged to give this board a second life. Thank you!

Works well enough but temp sensors are inaccurate, purchased new but received used from amazon warehouse. Not packaged well but survived what seemed to be handling reminiscent of the Samsonite gorilla. Photo and title were representative of the product but the rest was way off while still describing a pc motherboard. Other than that these 8/9 gen intel mbs are hard to get at a decent price with free returns so I'm keeping it because I can deal with the issues noted.

Simplement la meilleure carte mère pour ce pricepoint !

TL:DR, Vous cherchez une carte mère à "bas" prix pour un 9700K, ou 9900K? Foncez, vous ne trouverez pas mieux pour ce prix.

Les plus (+)

-Excellente carte mère pour ce prix, je le répète mais ce prix avec une qualité pareil sur une Z390 est imbattable.

-BIOS au top contrairement aux commentaires laissés sur cet article.
La mienne étant déjà flash en version F8, donc UI rework, aucun problème pour y naviguer.

-Installée avec un i9 9900k, aucun problème durant l'installation windows 10, fréquence laissé stock et XMP non activé pendant pour éviter le moindre souci, XMP activé (3200Mhz 14-14-14-32) et CPU OC(5Ghz/1.3V) ensuite, aucun souci de crash ou de post.

-Les VRMs sont solides, cette carte mère étant une des meilleures niveau qualité des composants utilisés.

-OC extrêmement simple, si vous débutez un guide est également fournis avec la CM, ce qui est un bon plus!

-Personnellement je suis stable à 5Ghz all cores à 1.3V, sans offset AVX, bien que cela repose plus sur le CPU que la carte mère, aucun problème d'overheat sur les VRMs, grâce au heatsink beefy installé pour les "refroidir" et la qualité de celles-ci!

-Le RGB est pas mal, pour moi il n'a aucune utilité mais c'est toujours sympa.

-Les leds d'indications durant le post sont très utiles pour déterminer l'origine d'un problème, en tout cas si problème il y'a, c'est un gros plus, ça fait gagner du temps !

-Ports PCI-E renforcés, ça donne un bel effet sur la carte mère et ça contre un peu le sagging GPU si elle pèse sur le port.

-Les heatsinks pour les SSD en m.2 sont éfficaces, et heureusement vu leurs épaisseurs, j'ai un 970 Evo 1Tb d'installé sur le premier et il ne dépasse pas 45C durant les loads disque lourds d'après Crystal disk info, 34C en moyenne.

Les moins (-)

-Pour le coup je pense plutôt que j'ai eu de la malchance mais durant l'installation de mon SSD sur le premier slot m.2, la vis de rétention du heatsink s'est cassée en deux dans le pas, ce qui m'a pas mal surpris et déçu, attention donc à ne pas visser trop fort.
(à noter que le packaging viens avec plusieurs vis pour adapter vos besoins au niveau des m.2 donc miniplus(+) ici, lol)

Et c'est à peu près tout, j'espère que cet review vous aura aidé concernant cette carte mère!

In good working order, as expected. Initially, I couldn't connect to the internet using this but it was a problem on my end. I contacted amazon and they contacted the seller. The seller got back to me and I had already resolved the issue (on my end). I was worried about ordering because of some negative reviews but thankfully, there was no reason to worry. I would order from this seller again. Thank you

Good value, trouble free installation

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 4, 2019

Bought this Gigabyte Z390 Gaming X board to upgrade to 9th gen, fitted an i7 9700K, 16GB HyperX Fury 3200 RAM & EVGA RTX2070.

It was very easy to build, mainly because the board layout is of a standard design. The manual is good, but the standard location of sockets definitely helped me too. It matched my old Asus board in it's design, which meant I could remove my old board and plug cables in without too much re-routing and without too much head-scratching.

I haven't tweaked bios settings yet, I just set the boot order to install Windows from a usb and left the rest at default. On first power up it restarted itself a couple of times, then booted into my new Windows 10 usb.
Installation of both board and Win OS were both very quick and trouble free.
It ran perfectly well without using the supplied driver disk, but I have since installed latest chipset, audio & usb drivers to make sure it's fully up to date. (BIOS flash was not needed as it arrived with F8, the latest version).

It's not one of the more expensive boards, but I don't plan on overclocking in any big way, if at all.
Over the Moon with the result, it's all running quietly, cool, and unbelievably fast.

I am a long time fan of Gigabyte and this board does not disappoint. It has everything I need and more.

I think my only criticism of Gigabyte is the rather crazy M.2 heat shields. These seem to preform pretty much no function at all and don't even contact the NVMe drives. I find it much better to just buy a separate heatsink for an M.2 and use those instead, throwing the shields in the bin. The positioning of the M.2's is bad too, since one is in a fan draft dead-spot under the CPU ( not so bad if you use a traditional fan heatsink on the CPU ), one of them is under the graphics card ( hot ), and the third, well, that one is the socket of choice. I just use a PCIe M.2 riser board though and ignore the M.2 sockets completely.

The BIOS is undoubtedly unfriendly but it's no big deal really. You only need to understand it once then you can forget about it!

The onboard display is useful if the board doesn't power up.

One thing I found unnerving is for me the board powered up on the internal GPU so plug your monitor in to the hdmi socket on the back first. I then needed to setup the BIOS and disable the internal GPU before it powered up on the graphics card. I have no idea whether this is normal but just be aware that it might do that! If you are plugged in to the wrong thing it scares the heck out of you when it powers up with a black screen!!

Great and well put together motherboard

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2019

Style: Z390 GAMING SLIVerified Purchase

I have bought this motherboard for my first build. From the moment I took this mother board out the box, it seemed evident that the build will be easy as everything was perfectly marked on it and had easy access. ATX board, with plenty of room and quality. The design is likeable, I do like the layout and the colours. The LED light on it seems perfect in the dark, you can set it to be still, flashing, pulsating, and you can set different colours as well. Good compliment. It has 8 USB3 ports in the back, absolutely amazing, for the money it is a well put together an dgreat motherboard. The onboard audio sounds much better than my previous H87 motherboard!
