GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Master (LGA 1700/ Intel Z790/ EATX/ DDR5/ 5* M.2/ PCIe 5.0/ USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C/Intel WiFi 6E/ Marvell AQtion 10GbE LAN/Q-Flash Plus/EZ-Latch Plus/Gaming Motherboard) (Renewed)

Let's start with the bad. The product is refurbished/renewed. Keep that in mind when you're purchasing. I didn't and got surprised it was open, used and had wear. With that said, I fully tested the unit and I'm very satisfied. There's absolutely no issues and it runs like a new mobo.For the price, you cannot best this value. I was planning to return it but after testing and using, I can recommend, especially for the price. You can barely find an ok mobo for this price, to get a high end one is really sweet.For my gamers, my fps increased a steady 15-35 fps coming from ddr4 and a prime mobo with my same CPU 12900k CPU. I swapped to ddr5 6000.Hopefully everyone that purchases this mobo gets a good renewed one that's as great as mine.

The board itself works and is refurbished nicely, the only issue Ive had with it is that the Ethernet port is not completely functional. While it does work it is not ideal for gaming as it would cut lose connection then reestablish itself. Problem is easily solvable by adding a separate Ethernet card though so I would say its still a quality board for a very good price.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE GIGABYTE Z790 AORUS Master (RENEWED)I took a gamble and bought the renewed board. The board was in perfect condition with all the parts. Someone must have had a compatibility issue and returned it as bad. Board booted right up and XMP profiles run DDR6000 without any issue.Im knocking off 1 star because this is a $500 dollar board and gigabyte decided to save literally 3 cents by removing an audio jack from the rear. YOU HAVE TO USE THE FRONT MIC PORT AS THE SUBWOOFER INPUT ON 5.1. Yes, you read that correctly, there is only 2 ports on the back, you have to go into the app on the PC and reconfigure the port setting. You LOSE the front MIC port. I would have no problems with this on a $200 board but not on the top end MASTER boards. This is absurd.The gigabyte control center is top tier garbage. Apparently the person that made it works at 1024x768 and has never heard of high DPI screens or HD. The windows is so tiny you have to use the magnifier app to read it.Finally. Gigabyte start adding boards with multiple LAN ports. You are the only board maker that doesnt have a model with multiple LAN ports.
