Strengths:
Best low cost AM5 motherboard which MemX carries. High UserBenchmark PC scores on the Motherboard / CPU combination tests - well above average, actually in the `outstanding' range compared to peer systems.
Weaknesses:
I bought my first one in Dec 2022 and experienced the same memory compatibility problems Alistair explained. Gigabyte support noted the issue and advised a pending BIOS release would support my memory modules - which it did. Since then the motherboards have behaved perfectly under both Windows 11 and Windows 10.
Additional Comments:
I currently own 3 of these motherboards running a 7600, a 7600X and a 7900 CPUs. Team it with a fast SSD like the Kingston KC3000 for a very responsive system. Highly recommended.

Additional Comments:
I built two computers with this motherboard. 2 different motherboards, 2 different CPUs, 2 different sets of DDR5. Both of the computers seemed fine after being completed but would suffer random crashes. I used Memtest86 and found that ram errors were detected and common. At least one every 30 minutes. These problems persisted even at stock 4800 speeds.
I returned the motherboards (thank you Memory Express) for an Asus Tuf B650 instead, and have no problems with the Asus model. Even the ram that had errors when used with the Gigabyte board is fine with the Asus board. Corsair 5600C36 and Patriot 5200C36. I could even OC the Corsair ram to 6000Mhz and now have no problems.
Wait for future BIOS updates if you are interested in the Gigabyte model. I suggest trying again in February 2023. The F4 BIOS I used does not work.
