GIGABYTE Z490 Vision G (Intel LGA1200/Z490/ATX/2xM.2/Realtek ALC1220-VB/Intel LAN/SATA 6Gb/s/USB 3.2 Gen 2/SLI Support/HDMI/Motherboard)

The media could not be loaded. This vision g is 100% worth it. Overclocked my i7 10900k and my GPU and VRM isn't remotely close to overheating. The video speak for itself. The board itself has two large heating and has excellent quality as well. No matter how much I OC my i7 10700k(5.1mhz), the vision g never overheat or throttled. The audio alc 1220-vb is also legit. For any mid range mobo for $200, this is probably the best. Especially VRM if u intend to OC and audio for any audiophiles.The 2.5gbps ethernet requires drivers. So I used the cd the vision g came with, put the cd in my laptop and I copied the intel network drivers to my USB flash drive, then used the USB flash drive on my newly built pc to install the drivers. Its really that simple. No issues on internet after that.

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 overclockone 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.

This is one of the best motherboards for gaming and over clocking in the sub 200$ category. Ignore the issue of people complaining about the Ethernet not working. The Ethernet port works completely fine it just needs a driver update to recognized your Ethernet cord. You can do this simply by plugging in a wifi adapter into the computer, going to windows update and checking for updates. It will automatically install a lan driver for you that will recognize the Ethernet cord and allow you to use it. And if you don’t have a wifi adapter you can get a simple one for really cheap or just download the driver on another computer and transfer it to your new one for install. This has been a great piece of equipment paired with my new i7-10700k for overclocking without any crashes or overheating. The bios on the motherboard is also probably the best and easiest to use that I have come across so far.

I love this board. Probably one of the best board I've ever owned. I see a lot of people complaining about how their LAN doesn't work. You simply have to go to the Gigabyte website and download drivers. It's like, basic knowledge XD. My LAN didn't work right away and I had to download drivers as well. It worked like a charm after that

I just built my second computer and wanted a white themed build. This motherboard not only looks amazing but offers a lot for the price point. After building the computer and turning it on to get into windows, the gigabit ethernet wouldn't work. For a few hours I was troubleshooting (putting the drivers on a USB flash drive to manually install them, reinstalling windows, etc.). The next day I got a wireless USB wifi adapter to try downloading them that way. When I turned on the computer it wouldn't even boot into windows. I ended up buying an entirely new motherboard and sending the first one back. After rebuilding the entire computer and using the wifi adapter, I am pleased to say I got into windows and the gigabit drivers downloaded right away. I am gonna say I most likely just got a bad board. It took about a week to solve this whole issue and get my computer up and running but I am happy with my purchase.

This board is great for the price if you're looking to grab a new 10th gen chip. All that was needed once I got to Windows, was to update the driver for the lan (which is available from Gigabytes website for the mobo) and boom good to go. It's slated towards creators but bought it necessarily for gaming and its doing the job better than expected. Just make sure you get into bios the first time to make sure you've got the settings dialed in (had to make sure xmp was on for the ram to be where I needed it). Just a good board all-around from my end.

This is an excellent motherboard if you don't mind the lack of wireless connectivity. Lots of USB ports to connect anything you need and lots of PCI-E slots for addon cards. Gaming performance is also very good.Recommended for creators and gamers that may need to connect a lot of peripherals to their PCs. Not recommended for people that absolutely need wireless connectivity integrated into the motherboard.Edit: One thing I forgot to mention you need either an optical drive, access to another PC and a USB drive or a plug and play network adapter in order to get the drivers required for the Ethernet adapter to work. The Ethernet adapter isn’t plug and play.

Much better than my previous Z490 UD AC. This motherboard is extremely high quality. It has 50A VRMs with 12 phases, all with a heatpipe and heatsink to keep the temperature stable and low. Overclocks my i9-10850K @5.1 GHz all core under load. My Z490 UD could only do 4.8 GHz all core under full load. I would definitely recommend this motherboard to any 10th or an 11th gen i7 or i9 CPU. Only downside is no built in WiFi.HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
