Turns out I just got a bunk board the first time. So after Amazon politely replaced it and having used it for several months now. I have to say it works really well. The wifi works very well. Bluetooth as well. Everything I have plugged into it has just worked.
My two cons and why I still knocked a star off.
Con One - It has a crap ton of sata ports. However if you use the on the motherboard NVME slots (There are two) it has to disable some of those same numerous sata ports to allow for the bandwidth needed for NVME performance.
Con Two - The fact that I got a bad board in the first place. I know they can't QA everything but this is the second time dealing with Gigabyte that I have gotten a bunk MB from the beginning.

I really wanted to like this Motherboard. It has an awesome selection of supported items and flexible options like wifi/bluetooth.
But this thing has been an non-stop pain in the rear from the get go. First install get prompted for a restart and then all of the sudden it stops seeing one of my drives and takes forever to load. I restarted again after another round of updates and then... it won't load Windows at all and stops seeing another one of my connected sata drives.
So I figure okay maybe bad cabling. Replace that and still not working.
Try to reinstall windows on the MB socketed NVME drive. MB sees the drive but says windows can't be installed to that device. Even though it can see it. Throws an error about not being able to install. (Yes folks it's the MBR device)
Try another drive a 480 Gig and this one it reports is a 2 TB drive that I can't do anything with. Says 2 TB of space 0 Available and won't allow me to change anything or try to delete/clear the drive.
Try to use a sata drive to boot up won't let even let me run the windows installer at this point because it says it can't find any drives.
Tried switching the BIOS's a few times rolling forward and back to differing versions and ... nada. So within a few hours of having this put together with components it appears that the HD controller failed.
Because no matter what I do it gives me bad info about the size and available storage of the HD's connected or doesn't see them or won't let me boot off of them.
Amazon support was also less than helpful when I contacted them. I was transferred to 3 people over the course of 1 and a half hours. Till the final person took some ownership and stopped asking me the same questions over and over again and got me a replacement.
However it will be the same Motherboard. Not sure I really like that but... I'll give it a try and see how this one works. If it goes well I'll update my review. If it goes wrong... well this is the second time I've bought a computer related item from Amazon and had it turn into a sheet show. I may have to go back to getting my electronics at Best Buy and NewEgg.
But for now everything is working fine. No issues so far for the first week. I will update this review if something unfortunate happens. (I hope not.)
One little problem I had was that there are only 3 sys fan headers on the mobo and the case I have is the NZXT H500 which can have 4 case fans in total. So unfortunately there will be one fan that will have no fan control.
I read that you can also use the cpu_opt header but it will sync the fan speed with the cpu cooler. So it will follow the fan curve of the cpu cooler fan. (Correct me if I'm wrong please, I do not wish to spread false info thanks!)
IMPORTANT!! A decade ago ALL motherboards that had video output connectors had a GPU sodered to the motherboard on the south bridge. So regardless of what processor you install the motherboard video output will always work. But now all manufactures has this bad practice where they no longer puts a GPU in the south bridge and relyes on you to purchase a special CPU that has GPU embedded in it which cost a lot more, sacrifices 2 CPU cores (4 threads), requires more power and heats up a lot more. It would appear that we are going backwords. These days even a very small AMD GPU can output 4K easy. If the consumer need more graphical power then he or she can just buy a dedicated video card instead of buying another expensive CPU and the old CPU goes to waste. Only very small motherboards like intel Nuc can do stuff like this because they don't have space. Mothers like these is just wasting ports confusing and pissing off people.
While the connection (seems) strong & secure, this motherboards built in WiFi is cutting my internet speed in half. I was getting about 110 mb/s download and 12 mb/s upload with my 5 year old, nearly broken PCIE Wifi card. Those are the same numbers I get from my other PC and the two laptops in my home. However, this board is pulling me 25 to 55 mb/s maximum download speed with an upload of around 6-8. A total joke. I have also occasionally seen my connection drop a bar or two, which would be understandable if my router wasn't directly under my PC down one floor.
Long story short, if on board graphics is a must for you, buy a different board. Otherwise, I'd say your better off saving the 30-50 bucks on the motherboard and spending that on a PCIE wifi card. I'll be contacting their support, as much as a headache I'm sure that will be. If anything comes of it I will update the review accordingly.
First, I enjoy color coding/matching my entire setup but eventually, RGB fusion just failed on me.
It stopped detecting and changing the RGB for the motherboard and at times it didn't detect the RGB for my GPU and constantly just went back to its stock setting.
Second, it won't let me install the drivers and they keep failing on the download whenever I keep trying to install them.
Thirdly, when I tried updating the drivers for my sound it completely made me lose the ability and has currently made me try and go out of my way to try and fix my sound issues
Fourth, there are some issues with my wireless mouse now. Whenever I wire it up, using a ROG Spatha Mouse, it won't move anymore after I tried installing drivers to ultimately try and fix the RGB issues with the motherboard that's just lead to overall issues with the motherboard and function itself.
Overall good motherboard, just bad software, and drivers
Haven't tried overclocking it yet but my brother prefers it stock so can't say anything about that.
Overall, it's a decent board which does the job.
**UPDATE*** Amazon support was great at expediting the replacement and getting it to me quickly. Received the 3rd board and it worked like a charm right out of the box. It has performed well since. I have updated my review from 2 to 3 stars for this experinece.
