It's definitely a good deal for a budget build. No PCIE 5.0 slot. DDR5 is CL36. But for $140 for an AM5 mobo and 32GB of memory, it's a no-brainer for the gamer on a budget who has been waiting for a sign to upgrade from their (very) old system. Extra good deal given the looming tariffs, I suspect that prices are going to look awful in a month or two, and will be awful for a while.

Sure, if you have to buy right this second, it's not a terrible deal.
But Newegg had a B850M Gaming X with somewhat better VRMs, PCIe 5.0 GPU slot, and 2x16GB of DDR5 6400 memory for $174.99 not more than 2 weeks ago. Patience may yield a better deal.

I mean if you are putting together a budget build it does matter. Someone buying this probably can't afford a 5090.

A 5060 ti that is already cut to 8 lanes gets hurt worse by a drop to pcie4. Up to 10 percent or more from testing so far. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-c...g-pcie-4-0 [tomshardware.com]
If mean if you're putting together a budget build you're not probably going to go with Ngreedia GPU anyway.

I'm using this with a 7500F and it required a qflash bios update prior to POST. Since it couldn't post it could not use the dGPU but the displayless USB bios update feature worked great. Noting for people that may run into this as working with a blank screen can make you think the board is DOA.

I thought that there's not going to be tariffs on computer parts, etc?

really bad reviews on this. Maybe that's why they're bundling it. It has 20% one-egg reviews, and they talk about all kinds of crazy stuff wrong with them.

Meh.

I JUST did a 5700x3d build like 3 months ago and I don't need an upgrade/crossgrade.

But with the tariff uncertainty I wanted to get on am5 since it's got probably another 2-4 years left. Am4 is dead end.

Got this, a 9600X, a nice case and a 240 aio for 426 bucks shipped.

The 9600x came w monster hunter AND a free 512GB SATA SSD. And it has an iGPU to tide me over until the GPU market shakes out. Or maybe I'll throw my old 3070 in it.

For around $425 (after tax) it's a complete budget build minus psu (I have a spare psu).

Very true. Got the 850m board after looking at this one. No issues with my build.

One plus is that gigabyte seems to monitor Newegg reviews and they respond to complaints.

I bought this last week because I needed a mATX Motherboard to reuse my case. The board was already compatible with my 9600x, no need to flash a bios. I installed a 9600x and overclocked it +200mhz -30 curve without any issues. I also had to enable expo/xmp for the ram to run at 6000. Great budget build
The overclock and curve settings don't do anything. It's a lie that fools the user. Run a benchmark before and after like 3DMark

Might end up spending more with the tariffs in the future! Missed out on the 9900X 32gb ram X870 combo they had for $497 still kicking myself!
What is the price when?

There is a B650M Gaming WIFI and a newer Gaming Plus WIFI 1.x model, I believe the plus model has these functioning. Ryzen Master confirms my settings in windows for both the -20 setting I have set and setting the 105W tdp setting (turning off eco mode in bios) now that AMD warrants using the 9600x at 105w.

I hope you are right! My understanding is that even though the settings show up, nothing changes. Run a benchmark with CO at 0, then with it at -20 and see if it improves. From what I have read the bios shows the changes, but they aren't implemented.

I just tested with the stock BIOS and overclocking definitely works on this board. I tried a -30 PBO undervolt on a 9600X and all-core performance went up significantly while single core performance went down slightly (not sure if that is normal). I also was able to up the TDP to 105W and verified power draw with OCCT. CPU adjustments seem to work on this board.
