The back panel has the usual connectors, and a USB Type-C with USB 3.1 Gen 1 support included as well, which is now becoming standard, but handy nonetheless. Above it is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A in red and two USB DAC-UP 2 below the outdated PS/2 port. Lot’s to get by on, enough modern connections to keep most people happy, and the icing on the cake, a front panel USB Type-C front panel connector.

Here are a few high-level screenshots of the BIOS, we won’t go into detail on the BIOS, though it’s a gaming motherboard, there are no outstanding features in the BIOS.

A solid performer from Gigabyte, though an unnecessary upgrade for some, it keeps you on the Intel upgrade path, a bumpy and dangerous (for your bank balance) path. The motherboard is a good product let down but a light touch bundle and the biggest issue for us, this is Gigabyte Rev.01, or Revision 1. Gigabyte has been doing this for years, and for anyone who runs out and gets a Gigabyte motherboard at its launch and doesn't know this, it can be very frustrating.
