I dont hate them. I always liked them so much.

But after two AM4 mobo experience i stopped liking them.

And their AM4s suck from the hardware side of things as well.

So unless there is a no other choice, i dont recommend them.

Most Gigabyte AM4s suck the hardest lol

Sounds lik you've got a history, i saw in your signature that you got a ASUS ROG Strix B350-F how is it like im thinking of cheaping out on my CPU and getting a better motherboard and then a better CPU in the future.

You could get Prime B350 Plus.

It is cheaper than the Strix but similiar in the things that matter the most.

I dont hate them. I always liked them so much.

But after two AM4 mobo experience i stopped liking them.

And their AM4s suck from the hardware side of things as well.

So unless there is a no other choice, i dont recommend them.

Most Gigabyte AM4s suck the hardest lol

so no gigabyte or msi for a ryzen build?

 

i used msi and gigabyte boards for all the intel builds i did in the past few years but i don't know if they are any good on am4

Avoid gigabyte except the two highest end models.

The MSI ones are better, but they get crushed by others in everything but higher end B350.

They are lacking on the VRM side of things. 

Like XPower has VRM that would be competitive in B350, not high end X370.

Not entirely.

It is not bad from the mosfet side of things but it lacks voltage control.

@johndms had big problems with it.

The problem is that the used ISL95712 viltage controller is not digi, so you cant set LLC or anything and it is only 3 phase.
