The only problem with gigabyte is they will only give you a few updates and your motherboard will never see an update after the first year

Not this board in particular but their customer service is garbage. I sent a board in for RMA (warranty claim). They made me pay to ship it, said there was nothing wrong with it, sent it back still broken, and filled the return box with random cardboard, used packaging materials, and other garbage. I am never buying from them again.

Was on sale earlier in October for about same price, lots of comments. My advice: Check the Gigabyte subreddit on Reddit. Lots of problems with Gigabyte customer service. If the product works and stays working.. it's awesome. But if you have problems product support is a big pain and not very good.

That's what I'm trying to find out too. Just got a 3070ti few weeks ago and I'm thinking about pairing this with the 5600x.

I feel like that's the case with any motherboard, your best bet will be to take advantage of a return policy or purchase some sort of warranty coverage that allows for easy exchanges or refunds. No RMA process is easy, it's all a big head ache. Also, updating the bios with out a previous AMD cpu can be a chore as well. Mines took close to half an hour before the motherboard updated itself with out a cpu through the usb port. However, once I had it up and running it's been the fastest computer i've owned yet.

Yep, I agree that for a critical component purchase like a motherboard, an extended warranty would be a great idea, if available/offered. That way one could more easily get the motherboard replaced, without having to worry about RMA/returns.

I have a Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite and it works well. I was not able to use Q-Flash+ to update the BIOS without CPU/memory/drive installed, but fortunately the motherboard was able to boot with my Ryzen 5000 CPU anyway. The box didn't state it was Ryzen 5000 ready but the board was. Once it was booted into the BIOS I used the regular Q-flash to update the BIOS to the latest Gigabyte version for the motherboard, that included USB fixes and Ryzen 5000 improvements.

Hoping the motherboard lasts as I didn't buy an extended warranty, oops. Smilie

3rd gen ryzen is 5000 series no? There should be no need for bios update to run 5000s with b550 boards.

That's funny cause I'm still getting regular updates on my Gigabyte B450 AORUS Pro. In fact I've owned it way more than your said year.

I have a recently built Intel based system with a Gigabyte mobile and I'm happy with it except for lacking TPM. It has the module slot but it is about > $60 to buy one if you can find one.
Recent research while considering Win 11 educated me that most if not all Gigabyte mobos have the TPM support but do not include the module. If you want to go Win 11 consider this in your list of concerns since TPM is required for Win 11.
I also saw that some modern AMD (Ryzen I think) get throttled hard with Win 11. Not saying anything negative about the Processors but do your homework if Win 11 is in your plans. Hate to see people invest so much to have it feel like a waste or needing to do a lot of work to get performance that should be there out of the box.
Hope the info proves useful if considering this or any mobo choice.

If its an 8th gen or newer you don't need the module, just turn on the firmware tpm.

Ryzen 3000 = third generation, using Zen 2 architecture. Ryzen 5000 = fourth generation, using Zen 3 architecture. My CPU was a Ryzen 5000, which is 4th generation.

From the AMD reference below:

--
Here are the generations, their names and when they were first released.

First Generation: 14nm Zen released in March of 2017
Second Generation: 12nm Zen+ released in April of 2018
Third Generation: 7nm Zen 2 released in July of 2019
Fourth Generation: 7nm Zen 3 released in November 2020"
