Review: Beautiful, Wonderful, and Advanced - It took me 3 hours to tear down my most recent set up and replace it with this. Tight constraints but I’m a big fan of the ATX factor. My immediate concern being a novice PC builder was that there is a 4x2 and a 2x2 ATX CPU power pin. If you are NOT over clocking, the 4x2 pin is enough and will boot and run things no issues. Tons of fan slots. The armor plates are removable and double as a heat sink for M.2 drives which go under them and can be screwed back on over the drives. Very sleek design. Heavy. Lots of metal parts and I love me some old fashioned gun metal colors. There is a built in RGB a lot so you can use those silly 3 pin connections and light up your world. BIOS from Gigabyte has always been nice in my opinion. This one is just as lovely as prior iterations and felt a lot better too. This board helped me trouble shoot why I could not boot my PC as well, made set up take a much shorter amount of time. This Z690 AX is labeled as the king of gaming by gigabyte. It, combined with a 13th gen processor, knows no bounds and transcends defeat. I did have some minor issues bios flashing, mostly operator error, but ddr4 updates I had to go back and use older files (F20) to use a 13th gen processor.
Review: Nice mobo- good build quality, highly adjustable settings, a little RGB eye candy - I really like this mobo. Highly customizable settings, nice build quality, etc. My buddy just built an brand new Asus system- flashed the recently released Asus BIOS update and bricked it. Asus sent him a replacement- two of the four RAM slots did not work. Give this Gigabyte Z790 Aorus DDR4 Wifi a chance. I paired it with a new Intel i7-13700 CPU, a Thermalrite Assassin air cooler, a Samsung Gen 4 M.2 drive and 48 GB of Corsair RAM. It screams in gaming even with a legacy Nvidia 3060Ti GPU. Flashed the BIOS to version F6 (due to recent security revelations) - super easy to do right thru Windows 11. Went perfect. Super happy with this mobo so far ! This is my first new gen computer build in many years. Just BUY it !

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gigabyte reliability is second to none.
*by R***N on February 17, 2024*

Gigabyte boards just ALWAYS work. It's the only brand I use. Bought this one for an upgrade to socket 1700 Intel processors, without having to purchase new RAM as this board uses DDR4. I fired it up, checked the BIOS and made a few adjustments, then put Windows 11 in. Put it to bed. Next evening,after firing it up again, it contacted Gigabyte website and installed all of the necessary drivers and the latest BIOS update. Everything works perfectly and this is just my "backup" PC, which is now looking like it will take the place of my main machine until I also upgrade this PC. For CPU cooling, I went with a Noctua NH-U12S Redux with a second fan. Glad I did as this setup just fits when using a front to back air flow setup. The full sized Noctua coolers would probably not fit. All in all, I highly recommend this board for it's overall value, reliability, and versatility.
