Really nice well built and good looking motherboard especially with the RGB Fusion Multi-Zone LED its as easy to install as any other motherboard with plenty of fan connectors which are ideally placed on the board for my setup.This is my first outing with a Ryzen motherboard and CPU so was a bit dubious as you read so many compatibility issues on the forums. I had no issues at all using a Ryzen 5 1600 and Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3200C16 16 GB Vengeance LPX DDR4 memory switched on first time and worked like a charm, Windows 10 64bit installed with no dramas at all. One thing I did notice was when I was initially using the Intel Ethernet port the internet was painfully slow so switched to the killer Ethernet port and internet was back up to full speed (probably just a driver issue)

UPDATE 04/11/18 Had this for over a year now with no major issues at all apart from when i tryied to overclock my 1600 to 3.8, was using F10 and it didnt like it one little bit so dropped it to 3.6 and it was very happy with that. the quality of the board has been great and everything works very well (even the nvme SSD runs at full speed).I have 2x bluray drives, 1x nvme ssd, 1x 2.5 ssd, 3x 3.5 SSHD and i still have 2x sata and 2x sata express ports spare........ The onboard sound chip can run 2 seperate inputs at the same time (i use my rear for main 7.1 speakers and the frount ports for dedicated headset/mic combo)

Excellent motherboard which lots of nice features. Bios updates are coming every few months ( a bit slower then I would like) but running a ryzen 1700x and 2933Mhz ram. Still memory compabitility issues with this board not allowing to get the full speed of my 3200Mhz memory but each bios update is helping and it is a new platform so this is to be expected. Components are good quality and everything stays nice and cool including the VRM's.I have 2 led light strips running of the 2 headers on the motherboard and can control with the software which looks ace.Couple of bugs with current bios but mileage might vary but it is still very reliable and getting better and better and the k7 is there flagship board.

Review for Gigabyte AX370-GAMING K3First board i got was DOA so sent it backSecond board worked fine except for one problem. In the BIOS it detects 16GB RAM but in windows it says only 7.5GB is useable. Spent days checking bios settings and windows settings. Eventually traced it back to one the retention clips for the RAM was not fully clipped in. Soon as pushed the clip in it worked fine.Initially tried to install windows 7 on it but this was a no go as the keyboard and mouse don’t get detected. Next tried to install windows 8 on it. This installed fine but found there is no driver support for windows 8. Finally settled on windows 10, installed fine and no problems with any of the hardware.I use it mainly for office work and encoding videos.

Quite simply the best-looking AM4 X370 motherboard on the market. It's stunning to look at and the RGB Fusion lighting is fully customizable so if you like that thing you'll like the board even more.Early BIOS' for this board may have been problematic but after several new BIOS, this thing now runs like it was meant to at launch - flawlessly. For example there were some problems with RAM compatibility but this board runs my 16GB DDR4 Crucial Ballistix memory at 3200Mhz speed with a flick of a switch (enabling XMP in the BIOS) without any trouble at all.Only downside is Gigabytes' BIOS itself. It isn't as in-depth and comprehensive as ASUS or MSI, for example,

Great mainboard for the price.. has 1 x PCIe x16, 1 x PCIe x16 (8x), 1 x PCIe x16(4x) and 3 x PCIe x1 slots. Just make sure to use onboard HDMI you need to have Ryzen CPU with integrated graphics. As an old time PC builder I wanted to test the system build with just the CPU and Memory and could not get the Display until i realised the on-board HDMI wont work without integrated graphics. I am using this with Ryzen 5 1500x. Installed the Vega 64 and display showed up correctly on HDMI 1 & Display Port 1 correctly. Personally, I am not a fan of RGB LEDs and due to high number of PCI slots but LED can be adjusted from BIOS or turned off altogether. Came with BIOS revision F4.

Nice motherboard has everything you possible could want except built in wifi but that's no big deal. Comes in a nice box and nicely packed with decent accessories.Has dual bio switches which help incase something goes wrong with overclocking or you mess up your bios you can use ur backup bio to fix it.Has good power usage and I was able to overclock my ryzen 1600 with ease with low voltage.Reason it's not 5 stars is because the bios menu isn't noob friendly imo and the no built in wifi. Also the RGB lights need a gigabyte app for it to work but the app isn't very good as you have to restart ur system or go to bios menu for changes to come Into effect.

Great motherboard although the bios was quite unstable upon delivery but that's to be expected with a brand new am4 socket. a quick update to bios version r5 helped sort that out but still a way's to go yet regarding bios updates.i had an Asus crosshair v formula am3+ before this board which was definitely a much bigger pain in the arse when new than what this gigabyte board was.only gave this four stars not five because of early bios but that's just me nitpicking otherwise 5 stars. I would definitely recommend this motherboard to any pc gamer. it seriously kicks arse....

Always bought Gigabyte motherboards and never had any issues with them.This motherboard is no exception.I have not overclocked the CPU or the Memory so I cannot speak for either, however aside from this everything else has been great.I can use the software to control the colours on the motherboard which glows nicely in my window.Also provided me with an SLi bridge which saved me, I would have struggled without this to even complete my build as the one I got separately was bad.No complaints here, top quality from Gigabyte as always.

Great looking board. Has LED lights on board and you can change the colour of them. Work well with Ryzen 5 1600 with no glitches. I have bought several Gigabyte mobo's and they have not let me down yet. I specifically like the adapter supplied to put the fiddly little front panel cables into - makes fitting them to the board much easier as you can't get it wrong.

One gripe. The board came with bios v 1.no good if your trying to install a ryzen cpu. Easy workaround, just fitted an older amd chip and flashed the bios. Companies should inform people about this. Second time I've had it, and both gigabyte boards

Best bargain for a motherboard as these go for 100-130 and seems like pristine condition so fingers crossed it’ll work when building my pc included IO shield but no sata cables but still worth the price

A good AMD A 320 motherboard for basic Ryzen builds, I have used several of these without any issues. Despite what others say the BIOS provides good basic overclocking options.
