  • Top Notch Motherboard in terms of Features and Quality
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER
This is one of the finest Z790 motherboards at a reasonable price for the end of 2023. It's build like a tank and it's so easy to work with. Beyond that it just looks great and that's how it performs as well.

  • Best of the Z790 for price/features
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER
You cannot beat the Master series for price and features you get. Board is a great overclocker and having 5 m.2 slots is great. Solid board for all you get for the price. Has everything you could ask for and Imo is the last good looking Master board. The new Z790 Master X is not as aesthetically pleasing as this model. ... show more

  • Bent CPU Socket Pins
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER X
Looks to be a really nice motherboard and I was excited to get my new PC built and put the system through its paces. Unfortunately, I never even got to install the CPU because I received a board with bent pins on the CPU socket. I should have checked the motherboard before I started my build, but I was so excited to get my new PC built that I didn't open the motherboard until I was ready to install the CPU and put the motherboard into the case, only to find the socket has bent pins. I mean come on Gigabyte, a $550 motherboard should not be making it out the door with something as obvious as bent pins on the CPU socket. Thats a lack of quality control or employees not doing their job and it needs to be remedied. Im usually not upset about defects as I understand this stuff is man made and it happens, but a 550 dollar motherboard with something as obvious as bent cpu socket pins should not be making it out the door to customers hands. Thats infuriating. Im returning this one for a refund and have placed an order for the same motherboard in the meantime. Once I receive it and get it installed, I will update this review accordingly. ... show more

  • A beast of a machine, but beware 10 gigabit network users!!!
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER
This mobo has been fantastic so far. Great performance, easy to work on -- tons of IO (Minus sata). One of the main reasons I purchased this board was due to its integrated 10GbE support. Well, I just upgraded from 1gig to 10gig LAN, and I've found that not only is there sub-par performance on the RX side, but when the RX gets hammered for more than a minute or so, the entire network adapter freezes, and requires me to disable/enable the card or reboot in order to get it working again. I recently found a reddit thread of other Gigabyte Z790 Master owners having the same issue, and there is no fix from Gigabyte yet. So if you're someone planning on doing some high bandwidth application, you'll likely need to install a 3rd party SFP or NIC to get full throughput, and a stable connection. Sub 10Gbe seems to be OK. Hope this helps prevent others from the headache and time lost, that I have experienced. ... show more

  • Nearly perfect
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER X
i9-14900K, RTX4090, 96GB 6800MT/s RAM Used Q-Flash+ to pre-update BIOS to F5G from GB site. Absolutely no problems. Best points: 10 GB LAN. Wi-Fi 7, tons of rear USB, power delivery, many nvme, ez latch thingy for GPU slot, and from my personal experience I’m expecting Gigabyte longevity ( six builds over 12 years not a single hardware issue), fantastic benchmarks and real-world performance . Negatives: Gigabyte Windows utilities remain sub-par, 5v power on a USB port (eg from a hub) prevents startup from power-off (not restart or power on from a power-on shutdown) - my Z390 Master had the same issue. I replaced the ILM with a coolright clamp and wish the backplate was attached to the board (easily fixed with tape). In summary, I don’t think there’s a realistically better LGA1700 board. ... show more

  • Defective board/poor design (not sure which) prevented $2,000 GPU from working
Style: Z790 AORUS MASTER
For the first month I owned this board, everything was cool. My system specs were: Case: Phanteks Enthoo Evolv X Motherboard: Gigabyte Z790 Aorus Master (this board) CPU: Intel i9 13900k (no overclock) RAM: 32GB (2x16) Corsair Dominator Platinum DDR5 (32-30-30-42 @ 6600 Mhz) GPU: Asus ROG Strix RTX 4090 (OC Edition, not overclocked any further than the factory OC) Storage: 2x 2TB Samsung 980 Pros (NVMe), 1x 1TB WD Blue (SATA) PSU: 1200w Thermaltake GF3 (ATX 3.0, with a 600w 16-pin 12vHPWR connector included) CPU Cooler: Arctic 360 AIO Case Cooling (front-mount): 3x 120mm Chromax Noctua NF-A12x25s (intake) Case Cooling (rear-mount): 1x 140mm Phanteks (exhaust) Monitor: 32" Samsung Odyssey G7 After that first month, I started noticing that my system would hang when I'd wake up my monitor roughly 50% of the time. During the hang, sometimes the Shift + Ctrl + Win + B shortcut would work to reset the graphics drivers and recover to desktop, but most of the time the system would just hard reboot. Thinking perhaps there was an issue with the most recent Nvidia drivers (affecting screen wake up), I disabled the ability for my monitor to go to sleep when the computer was idle, and everything was cool again for a few weeks. One day Windows installed updates, and upon system restart I typed in my PIN to login to Windows and got to desktop. 5 seconds later, the system hung, eventually black-screened, and hard rebooted. This repeated in perpetuity for the next several hours as I tried to figure out what was going on. I booted into Safe mode and the GPU worked fine as a basic display adapter, which allowed me to launch DDU, fully uninstall all Nvidia drivers, disable Windows' ability to automatically install hardware drivers, and then boot fresh to windows. One the system booted back to the normal (non-safe mode) desktop, the GPU was running as a basic display adapter, and as such there was no hang/crash. I then began the process of reinstalling Nvidia drivers. In the middle of the process, when the screen went blank (as it always does when installing/updating drivers) I held my breath and was thrilled to see the screen come back and render the desktop again, and everything was cool and I was sure I'd fixed the issue. ...until one week later, when a system reboot resulted in the system hanging, black-screening, and hard-rebooting almost immediately after I'd typed my PIN to login to Windows and the desktop rendered. Cue another 45-minute process of booting into safe mode, DDU, fresh boot, reinstall drivers. That worked for that day until I had to reboot the machine the next day, then the whole thing started happening again. At that point, I started all the troubleshooting steps (disabling XMP, running with a single RAM stick, running with the OTHER single RAM stick, removing and re-seating EVERYTHING, including GPU, RAM, and even a remove/re-seat/re-paste of the CPU and AIO, doing an "in-place" reinstall of Windows 10, which doesn't erase any of your files or anything like that) and none of it made a difference. The only way I could get the GPU to work at this point was to boot to safe mode and go through the DDU process, and even that wasn't consistently working anymore. Luckily a buddy of mine had a 3080 in his Z690-based system (which was PCI-E 4.0 compatible), and he agreed to swap GPUs with me for a week. His 3080 worked fine for me for that week, while my 4090 worked fine for HIM for a week, yes as soon as I plugged it back into my machine the problems started again. He suggested the issue might be GPU sag (as the 4090 is substantially larger than his 3080) but I'd made sure to use the included GPU stand that came with the card and then checked that the card was level while using the stand, so it's not like stress from sag could've caused a micro-fracture in one of the PCI traces in the board or something like that. At this point I didn't know what to do, so I started buying expensive replacement parts (for testing purposes) that I eventually had to return as NONE of them fixed the issue. This included a new 1350w PSU, an i5 13600k, and brand new Team Group DDR5 RAM. Since none of that worked, I decided to RMA the motherboard...which was an utterly excruciating process and experience. I no longer had the CPU cover (as it'd been almost a decade since I'd built my last machine and had forgotten to keep it after I built this one), so Gigabyte had me cut a rectangle of cardboard and tape it over the socket and THEN sign a waiver saying that if they received it with CPU socket/pin damage they'd refused the board outright and I'd have to pay them to ship a broken board back to me. Fine, it was my fault for throwing out the socket, so I get it - they couldn't afford to absorb the cost for my stupidity. They also wouldn't just ship me a new CPU socket cover (even after I offered to pay $50+ for one. Just an awful experience. Needless to say, they spent a month with the board and discovered ZERO issues before shipping it back to me with NO socket cover whatsoever (including the makeshift cardboard one THEY forced me to make when I shipped it to them). Thankfully no pins were bent while they tried to troubleshoot the board, nor when they shipped it back to me, but I wasn't any closer to figuring out wtf was happening here. Feeling non-optimistic I reinstalled the board and all my components (including the GPU), booted to Windows and - drumroll please - immediately froze, black-screened, and hard-rebooted. My only recourse at that point was to RMA my 4090, which meant I went a month running this high-end system using the iGPU (which ran flawlessly despite being orders of magnitude worse than my 4090, for whatever that's worth). Asus found NO issues with my card on their end, but after me repeatedly insisting they send me a new card, they eventually agreed to do so and sent me a replacement Strix 4090 OC. I plugged that card in and it worked for 3 days before the same exact issues started happening again. Over the next week, the system would only boot to desktop and NOT immediately freeze and then hard-reboot roughly 20% of the time. IF it could get past that initial boot phase, everything would work fine until I had to reboot the system again (which, even if I wanted to keep it turned on forever, it just wouldn't make a difference). I then resorted to doing a completely fresh reinstall of Windows INCLUDING a drive reformat first. This was, admittedly, a desperation play, but I didn't know what to do short of buying a new motherboard at that point. I lost years worth of data to do this, and guess what? Didn't work. I couldn't even get through a Windows 10 install with that GPU set as the active GPU, because during the install process Windows would install drivers for the card, at which point the system would black screen and hard-reboot DURING THE INSTALL PROCESS. I had to restart the install with the 4090 completely removed from the system (using the iGPU instead) and I got through the install that way. All was fine as long as the GPU wasn't installed, but as soon as I reinstalled the GPU and then booted to Windows, upon completing installing drivers (whether I let Windows do it or installed them myself) the machine would immediately black-screen and hard-reboot. The system just WOULD NOT be stable with my 4090 in it. I thought to myself, "maybe Windows 11 would work?" I repeated the process again, only to have the same issues with the Windows 11 install process if the 4090 was socketed, and once I finally did get Windows 11 installed using the iGPU, immediately upon installing the 4090, booting back up, and installing drivers? System hang, black screen, hard-reboot. Completely fed up at this point, I finally decided to bite the bullet and bought a new motherboard to replace this one (which I have ZERO faith Gigabyte will ever refund me for, as they claim they found no issues with the board when I sent it to them). I purchased an Asus ROG Z790 Maximus board, and despite using ALL the same components as the ones I used with my Aorus Master, EVERYTHING IS WORKING PERFECTLY. It's been over a week now, and everything is FINE. I can reboot the system with no issue. I have no idea why the Aorus Master just would not work with my card after awhile, but SOMETHING clearly went wrong, and Gigabyte's customer support was legitimately no help at all during the process of troubleshooting, and I'm out $560 (which was the cost of the board when I purchased it in April 2023). Incredibly frustrating, and I absolutely cannot and DO NOT recommend this board to anyone running a 4090 (especially not an Asus ROG Strix 4090 OC). ... show more
