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.
nobody is buying this to undervolt or overclock a system lol. they're just buying to get into the am5 platform on a budget.
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.

Quote from FeiyeungS :
PCIe 5.0 doesn't worth that much over PCIe 4.0 for gaming. Take 5090's PCIe scaling for example, across all 3 resolutions of FHD, QHD and UHD, PCIe 4.0x16 has 99% of the performance with PCIe 5.0x16. Difference is less significant with lower end GPUs.

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

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
