Great motherboard. Works well and has plenty of IO etc. Two m.2 slots means you can easily migrate drives if you upgrade.
I had to flash the BIOS before it worked with my CPU but it was easy. Once you download the new BIOS from gigabyte's website put it on a FAT32 formatted USB stick and put it into THE WHITE USB SLOT on the back, ONLY that one. Do not use the Blue or Red or Black USB. You can only flash from the White one.
Press the Q-Flash button and wait (ages). When it's done you can use the machine! I was told to do this with no CPU or RAM plugged in but I had both and my GPU (PC fully built), it still flashed with no apparent issues.
