GigabyteB550 AORUS Master (AM4 AMD/B550/ATX/Triple M.2/SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 2/WIFI 6/Realtek ALC1220-Vb/Fins-Array Heatsink/RGB Fusion 2.0/DDR4/Gaming Motherboard)

I thought the board was well laid out Very good gigabyte

かっこよくて扱いやすく気に入りました

This motherboard was very nice to work with, and I appreciate that Gigabyte chose to go with a relatively restrained design with respect to “gamery” features on the board. I picked this board mostly for its I/O arrangement, which suited my light gaming, heavier code compile/workstation use case. I also require Thunderbolt support to use this with an LG UltraFine 5K display (the display will only work at 4K resolution on Windows 🙄).It’s a shame that the board failed to power on after 3 days of light usage, before I had much of a chance to really push the system to its limits. No POST/sign of life was present, no codes were thrown on the built-in debug LEDs, nothing. My components work fine in another system, which implicates the motherboard as the source of the failure.I was using this with a Ryzen 3900X, 32GB of DDR4-3200 Corsair LPX memory, a loaner AMD RX580, Corsair HX750i power supply, and Gigabyte Titan Ridge Thunderbolt add-in card on Windows 10 Pro.I attempted to create an account on Gigabyte’s eSupport website, but their website never accepted the account credentials I created, even after trying to reset them multiple times.The last time I used a Gigabyte motherboard was back in the Socket 775 days and I recall being very happy with them back then. It’s a shame that things didn’t work out with this motherboard. Hopefully Gigabyte can work out the kinks with future revisions/batches of this product.

Bought this based on the cooling performance from gamers nexus’ tests, I want to like this board but it’s been a bad experience trying to get this to output a signal to the monitor. It’s a new build with all new brand name parts (g skill ram, gigabyte 5700xt OC gpu, Samsung m.2 ssd, seasonic psu), everything clean and carefully installed. Everything turns on except no signal to the monitor and the vga status light solid red which means a video card error. I’ve cleared the cmos, removed the gpu, updated the bios to the newest version using gigabytes q flash plus feature per gigabyte support’s instruction, installed a speaker to hear the motherboard beep code and it’s one long beep and 3 short beeps which is an agp error, in alignment with the vga status light. At this point I don’t know what to do except return the board and try another brand, someone on Newegg left a similar review of the same experience. Maybe I just got a bad board, the cooling features seem great to me but I’ve spent hours trying to get this thing to work, very frustrating.

Spent an excited 2 hours getting this thing in my system and ready for my new build with the rest of my parts. As someone who’s built computers frequently and known what to do, pressing the power button after seeing the board not light up with the power supply flick was a disappointing yet unsurprising sight.As seen in the video, as soon as the power supply is turned on, the board’s RGB gives a faint flick before shutting off instantly. PSU is not the issue, as other PSU’s failed to power it on and other boards booted fine with the same PSU.Many reviews here are correct in saying to not buy this paperweight. Heard from other reviews here among the forums and other site reviews that even with a “working” board, the dual bios boot causes the board to decide to not power on randomly until the CMOS battery is taken out and put back in after a few hours. That is even more irritating than it sounds considering the CMOS battery is oh-so-conveniently located under the GPU.Gigabyte, fix your product quality issues or don’t offer this board at all. These issues are borderline scammy and have seemingly been an issue since the beginning of B550’s release.
