I think Gigabyte Aorus line is just entirely screwed up.
Never had any issues with any of my desktop hardware before. Did a 3900X+Gigabyte Aorus Elite X570 build in december. Aside from overheating and throttling issues (which I mostly sorted out), everything was fine for a while, but then my mobo straight up died in February. I tried everything possible with no success, it wouldn't even get to the BIOS screen, not even talking about the OS load screen. The error code on the mobo was pointing at the GPU, but that definitely wasn't it (that GPU worked fine for years before, and currently works fine in my build after I got rid of that Gigabyte mobo).
Then I saw a friend doing a build in March with the same components. I didn't think much of my mobo dying, since random accidents happen, so I didn't really discourage him from getting the same mobo. His mobo died on day 2 after the build.
I got a X570 asus mobo instead as a replacement, and had zero issues since. Neither with stability/perf nor with overheating. Aside from swapping the mobo and adding an extra SSD, I had made zero changes to my build, so I blame solely the mobo.
- Matthias247 7y agoI have a Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO (Mini ITX) for my 3900X. Didn't had any issues so far, apart from the initial Windows installation being a bit tricky because it bluescreen due to a missing Intel Wifi driver. Things are running stable, and I didn't had any overheating issue (even though people told me that board would never work due to too week VRMs on B450 series).
- filoleg 7y ago> Gigabyte B450 I AORUS PRO My bad, I should've specified that I was talking about their X570 AORUS lineup, not all AORUS mobos in general, that one is on me. Since yours is B450, I wouldn't expect the same issues to surface as in the X570 mobos, makes sense.
