AMD GIGABYTE X399 AORUS Xtreme (AMD Ryzen Thread Ripper TR4/E-ATX /3X M.2/WiFi/Front USB 3.1 Type C/Dual Intel LAN/Motherboard)

I didn't buy this board from Amazon, but bought from a local vendor. Here is some piece of warning to all of you who are planning to buy x399 boards.Some of the CPU sockets made by FOXCONN (used in Designare Ex and few other vendors) have defective screws that is used to tighten the processor lid. I guess the problem is with the length of the screw, but not sure. You may find it extremely difficult to tighten the screw with CPU in place. For me, the screw#1 just did not thread at all. Take out the CPU and screws are perfect. I wasn't sure of how much pressure I should put on it without damaging processor pins on the board.I finally took the board to a GIGABYTE service hub. They had a video call with their colleagues and finally pushed the socket lid down really hard to tighten it.Otherwise board is good, well loaded with features. I am giving only three star for the board because of all the sweat I had to wipe out from my forehead while installing processor, and associated confusion and inconvenience.Here is one of few links where this issue has been discussed.https://community.amd.com/thread/219286

Don't Buy this motherboard because this uses foxconn socket and this motherboard get it too tight, so the processor can suffer and don't give you that tor click sound so don't buy this for the sack of Gigabyte name or else for RGB the RGB is also worst not something great the worst RGB and also RGB on this Motherboard increase the temperature so while overclocking results get vary.

Worst mobo mfg by Gigabyte with a huge failure rate. Runs all right for 6mo~ then suddenly fails with error code 00. Happened thrice. all RMA'ed. Their support is top notch so not problem with RMA's but hey, the board design itself is faulty.

Es una placa madre poderosa y bonita en estética y muy buena

Works perfectly well with TR 2920x

El producto es muy bueno, esta funcionando sin problemas, con un 2920x, solo asegurarse de actualizar bios. La instalación de windows es compleja, al final la instalación con un lector DVD funcionó.En général esta mb es muy bella y de calidad, si quieres una mb que no te compliqué con drivers e instalaciones quisa no es esta la opción, si eso no es un problema para ti y la encuentras en oferta la recomiendo mucho

Admittedly I was a bit skeptical at first when getting this board. It looks absolutely stellar on paper - but the paper is what marketing teams at these companies do so well at. It's the implementation that really needs to hold up for these boards to shine the way their adverts do. And I can say confidently that now the x399 Designare EX does.As EVGA says, a board is only as good as it's BIOS. And that is slightly ironic coming from them, in that the latest BIOS I had for my x99 FTW K was full of problems that led me to upgrade to this purchase. The reviews for this aren't very good and I think that's mostly down to the growing pains that any board goes through in it's early days, with the BIOS being ironed out. I can say confidently that out of the box, this board did everything it was supposed to and hasn't given me a single problem. And I ran the board out of the box with the F11 bios (am on F12e now). So it's clear to me that while this board has historically had issues, I believe they were mostly based around an immature BIOS that has been fixed up now.I am running this board with a Threadripper 1900x, 16GB of Corsair RGB Vengeance Pro RAM, a Gigabyte RX 580 8GB, a Thunderbolt Titan Ridge card and a Samsung 970 EVO M.2 drive. Of note is that I am able to run my RAM at the rated speed of 3200Mhz without any issues, using the XMP Profile #1. What's awesome about this architecture is that components like M.2 drives take PCIe lanes directly from the CPU, giving you spectacular data rates. I believe there is a total of 68 PCIe lanes available.Now, Titan Ridge: I have been building systems around thunderbolt for years now, and it is a default necessity for me. It was somewhat on a lark that I tried the Titan Ridge controller on this AMD platform after reading that some users had done it - and to my amazement it works out of the box, plugged into any lane, and the spec is fully implemented (ie hotplug and power delivery work). Note that there are no BIOS configuration options, and that authorization defaults to User Level (SL1). Gigabyte had plans for thunderbolt with this board, but for unknown reasons took mention of it out of their adverts. The GPIO still remains though, and with the card plugged into it, it is fully functional. Yes!So, with overclocking made easy with Ryzen Master in Win 10, RAM that is fully compliant with XMP profiles and runs at it's rated speed, well over 2133 (a default handicap on most x99 boards), ultra-fast connectivity with M.2 peripherals, full Thunderbolt compatibility, a wealth of PCIe lanes, and all of the other features this board comes with (RGB, temperature headers etc), it's a no-brainer. Also, this board has more of a professional polish and isn't soaked in RGB crap that would stoke the teenage masses. It has a look reminiscent of their workstation boards while still retaining some of the features that we find some guilty pleasure in some of the time : )For $299 I believe this is a steal. This board can really only be rivaled by the top-top shelf of any other manufacturer, and because the BIOS is now seeing maturity and past it's growing pains that stop many users dead in their tracks, I think it's a winner. And the best part is that upgradeability is massive here: the Ryzen Threadripper architecture is a juggernaut and I believe is here to stay, making this beast more future-proof than really any of the 2011-3 or 2066 series.Although the Threadipper chips are pricy, I'd still heartily reccomend just slamming down the cash and picking one up with this board. Flash the bios to the latest, first thing, and you should be rolling.

absolutely love this motherboard it's got everything u could possibly need at a really good price wood definitely buy again.av had it bout 6 months with zero problems
