Initially it would not VGA post if I had the EVGA 1080TI video card installed, but after I flashed the bios to the latest F7 everything worked fine after that.
Anyone who complains about the Intel 2.5gbE driver not installing correctly, it has nothing to do with Gigabyte, but rather Intel cant seem to write proper drivers that auto-detect/install. You must manually install the driver. I've seen this happen with other Intel NIC drivers.
Oh yeah, the infamous SLIVER had been corrected to SILVER on these newer batches.

Overall, I'm happy with the build quality but there is definitely a lacks in tests. I've just built my PC last weekend and currently experiencing issues to access the bios. Windows runs just fine, but when I boot and try to get to bios (delete key), I'm unable to get to BIOS, even using UEFI settings from Windows or the fast boot options from Gigabyte App Center. I'm only redirected to Windows whenever I try.
However, if I unplug the display port cable from my VGA card and that only the HDMI is plugged in, I can see the AORUS logo while booting and can access the bios using the delete key. Seems to be an issue with the display port compatibility. I took my GPU and insert it in my GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 and it works... so definitely a compatibility issue with display port there..
What I've tried so far: without any success:
- Disabled fast boot
- Clear CMOS
- Reset bios options
- Updated BIOS to F5c
- Updated Drivers
- Updated GPU NVidia display port firmware
- Removed GPU and use HDMI port on MB (Work but not an option to access the bios)
- Disconnected all cables from GPU and kept the HDMI (Work but not an option to access the bios as my monitor support only up to 60hz on HDMI)
- Updated intel chipset drivers
I'm disappointed as a mid range Motherboard to have such issues. I read that other brand such as MSI were also having these issues on Z490 chipset and provided a BIOS update to resolve this.. I hope the same from Gigabyte..

I didn't find many reviews for that motherboard, but it seemed to be a solid choice for a good price. I also didn't find many negative comments in forums so I thought I give a try.
I have used this with a 10700K and Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 4000 (PC4-32000) C18 Optimized for Intel Z490 and overclock it using the Gigabyte Z390 overclocking guide to 5GHz on all core. Maximum temperature while running Prime95 Blend or Cinebench is around 81 average (on air using Noctua NH-U14S).
Stable, so all good.

I bought this board to use with my new I7-10700k. Initially, I was a bit skeptical about Gigabyte, just because I have always stood by ASRock for good mid-range boards. This board looks great, and has all the features I was looking for, and what you would expect from a Z490 board. I'm not a super duper tech savvy guy when it comes to ALL the features of the board, so I will stick with what I know.
Pros:
Nice lighting on the board, and overall great looking board
All the Sata ports (6) and M.2 ports that I need (3 if you count the PCIE x16 likely taken by GPU tho)
Arrived with zero defects!
Easy setup overall! Had everything up and running with little effort overall* See below for more on this..
Cons:
1) I couldn't find anywhere in the instructions that mention this, but by default the board is configured to dump you off with an error just after the Aorus logo appears (nothing to boot to). I had Win10 Pro on an SSD, and another regular HDD plugged in, but the system didnt recognize them. This was worrisome, as I expected it to boot straight to Windows. The logical solution is to go into the bios and click the boot sequence, but the system didn't show anything there. Ill spare the other details but long story short, you have to go into the CSM settings, and enable Legacy options to boot to... When you do that, save and restart, you can then go back into the bios and set the boot priority, and it was pretty much smooth sailing from there. My complaint here is there being no mention of this procedure.
2) CPU VOLTAGE..... This one really bothers me, and is the entire reason I dropped a star.. After doing some tests in a couple CPU demanding games (Planet Coaster, and Total War: Rome 2), everything was quite stable, and temps were sitting at a cool 54C max... Using CPU-Z, Real-Temp, and Hardware Monitor, I noticed though that my VCORE Voltage was spiking as high as 1.66V !?!?!??! That seems a bit insane to me... Im shocked that my temps werent higher. By default the Aorus Ultra board sets the VCore to an adaptive mode, and I feel that it is WAY over generous with that... However, I will say that it is VERY easy to fix.. Just go into the Bios and disable the adaptive voltage and set it to say 1.35-1.38V and try that as a fixed voltage, or if you prefer, mess with the LLC's and offsets to remedy depending on your comfort level. It upset me that they would ship out a board in a configuration that could relatively quickly kill your CPU if left alone (at least in my understanding). I get that some silicon performs better than others and such, but 1.66V?!?! even 1.5 is too much lol I'm not even comfortable with anything above 1.4V, regardless of temps.
Overall I am quite happy with the board, and would absolutely recommend it to anyone out there! Just make a quick decision on how to remedy the adaptive Vcore situation. Money well spent! If you haven't used a Gigabyte board before, be ready for a bit of a learning curve with the bios. There is a LOT to play with :), but thats a + in my book. It looks great, and so far performs great!

Most people do not need a +$700 motherboard, and while $270 is a bit on the pricey side, this board sits comfortably in the middle of the Aorus line up, having the necessary amount of the premium features and qualities that the more expensive boards have while also still feeling premium. Almost no space on the rear i/o is wasted as you get 9 USB ports, 4 USB 2.0 and 5 USB 3.2 ports +1 USB 3.2 type c. This motherboard is handling a 1.3v, 5.0ghz all core overclock perfectly on my i7 10700k. idle 30-35C and 60-67C gaming load on my Dark Rock Pro 4 cooler. Unlike other motherboards at this price range, this board has 3 M.2 slots instead of 2, including one that is reserved for pcie 4.0 support with 11th gen intel. That promise is extended to two pcie expansion slots. If Intel delivers on the pcie 4.0 promise with 11th gen then this will be a very good future proofing board if you are on Intel. The Ultra model, one tier above this, has M.2 thermal shields for each slot, while this one has two. If you must have a shield for each slot, I would recommend that model as it does not cost too much more than this. Personally, I prefer that the Pro AX's M.2 shields are detached unlike the Ultra which has the bottom two attached to each other. A lot of the Aorus boards promise DDR4 5000mhz xmp profile which is quite impressive.
With all the positives out of the way let me address an issue I came across. I must caution you, if you are using Western Digital SN750 nvme SSD's you may run into an issue where your computer will not boot if you are installing it into the bottom (M2M_SB) M.2 slot. This is my second Z490 Pro AX board, and ran into this identical problem on both boards where my 1 TB and 500gb models of Western Digital's SN750 ssd's (one with heatsink, one without) would only work with the middle M2A_SB slot and would not boot on the other M2M_SB slot. I thought that part of my motherboard was dead. It wasn't until I got into a long back and forth with Gigabyte customer support where we exhausted almost all possible options except testing another manufacturer's nvme ssd. I tried the HP EX920 M.2 256GB ssd in the M2M_SB slot and surprisingly the slot began working properly. IT now works with my WD SN750 drives normally in both slots. You may not run into this problem like I did, but if you do, you can learn from my experience and avoid this issue altogether by using my fix or buying another brand of nvme SSD. The choice is yours.
If you are on more of a budget, the Gigabyte vision g is a great alternative that is offered at a more entry-level price. It includes many of the same features as this board including the same power phase delivery, pcie 4.0 future support, 3 M.2 slots and 5000mhz capable xmp profile. However, I do not recommend going any lower if you plan on overclocking a 10700k or 10900k. The positives of the Pro AX outweigh my rare negative now that I have it totally resolved.

Decent motherboard and you get a very premium feel from it for the money that youre spending on it. But the feel is about where the 'premium' ends. The motherboard along with all high end gigabyte boards whine like crazy. This is caused by the vrms that gigabyte uses to power the CPU. This was an issue with the previous generation Master boards as well. Got this one and it whine to an uncomfortable degree. Replaced it with the Gigabyte Ultra and the issue was even WORSE. The rgb software is a joke just like all the other motherboard manufacturers.
Ended up going through 2 different gigabyte motherboards before purchasing ASUS Hero which gave me no trouble at all.

I can't say anything, I have received it but still waiting for other parts, I'll be back soon.
***Update***
I have applied everything and use it for sometime, first thing was the LAN driver you need to download it by using another PC/lap or use dvd reader to use the included dvd disk.
by using EasyTune from gigabyte it was very easy to overclock
one thing only really disappointed me, it is the sound, it is not very loud, it is better quality than my previous very old board but it is not louder, gigabyte very proud of the alc1220 and they declare it can up to 114 db but still not very loud, I am using headphone sony WHXB900N and every time i reach the highest volume i feel disappointed.

On the surface is a good board. Great power delivery and good PCIe lane layout.
I would have preferred it if it were more of a workstation board with just one 16x lane a bunch of 8x lanes, but I knew that before buying.
It loses two stars for the following reasons:
- No option in BIOS to disable WiFi, Bluetooth, and on board sound.
- On board sound uses some sort of dual USB implementation which does not work at all under Linux.
- Would be nice if I could modify the big bright orange LED directly front he BIOS without installing OEM spyware in Windows.

I understand motherboards are DOA sometimes. Why I’m rating this poorly is I am on my second board and it won’t work in a different way, and I can’t get any support from gigabyte. I’m about to box it up and try a different route. It’s very frustrating when you are completing a very expensive build and you can’t get anything to happen.

I like this motherboard. Its well laid out, and easy to build on. So far, I haven't had any stability issues (running stock, without any overclocking).
Pros:
1. 2x PCIEx16 slots which are far enough apart so that you can place your video card well below the CPU, keeping airflow neat
2. Relatively quiet even though the motherboard has its own fan
3. Heat sinks on M.2 slots work well and have their own conductive foam
4. Power button on motherboard + LED codes make debugging easy at the start
5. Ample connectors for everything (USB-C, front panel audio, AIOs, whatever)
6. USB-C on back panel, and connectors for front panel
7. Wild looking antenna for WiFi, but it seems to work well; comes with a magnetic pad to 'stick' to your case
Cons/Gotchas:
1. Logos can be a bit juvenile, but that's just a style thing
2. Built-in AX200 wifi works great, but... Ubuntu 20+ picks it up without issue. On Debian (either stable/testing)- you'll need to manually add Intel provided .ucode files to /firmware.
3. Easy to miss plastic film that needs to be taken off the bottom of the M2 heatsinks
4. RAM locations may be tight given cooling solution for CPU (I'm using a Noctua NH-U-14S TR4 SP-3, which fits fine)

4 months of use so far with Noctua-cooled AMD 3970x threadripper and 256 GB RAM. Had transferred NVME sticks and HDD's from an x570 Aorus Master to this, and it worked fine after some driver updates and reboots. The only thing that gave me issues were a Sabrent NVME PCIe Gen 4 stick, which pretty much has limped along for almost a year and I'll probably never buy another Sabrent drive again.
I do alot of CAD, meshing, and CFD work, and sometimes utilize all 32 cores and will occasionally page memory after chewing thru all 256 GB of RAM, and do this for days on end. Simple WD Black 1TB NVME Gen3 stick works well as a data drive. System uses a ton more electricity than the 'old' 3900/570 build. Given the Corsair 3600 memory is not ECC, this trx40 Gigabyte build is production stable and reliable, and definitely punches above it's weight class. Just wish it could handle more than 256 GB of RAM lol

This motherboard has on multiple occasions in the past week gone from normal audio levels to multiple orders of magnitude past painful volume levels with no warning or user requested change in volume. Sometimes it's fine for days at a time other times multiple reboot won't fix the audio. I'm using the latest drivers and the latest bios it happens under Windows 10 and Linux (fedora); I'm pretty convinced at this point its a hardware problem with the audio.
So do yourself a favor if you hear crackling noises when listening to audio don't wait for it to randomly increase volume by 1000x and damage your hearing (or your headphones) just get a cheap audio pice card to replace the built in usb audio card.
