GIGABYTE A620I AX (AM5/ LGA 1718/ AMD/ A620/ Mini-ITX/ 5-Year Warranty/ DDR5/ Single M.2/ PCIe 4.0/ USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-C/Realtek Wi-Fi 6E/ Realtek 2.5GbE/ Q-Flash Plus/PCIe EZ-Latch/Motherboard)

I bought this to pair with an AMD 8500g. I knew going in that I would have to update the bios before the processor would work, but the price was right. Got the motherboard and attempted to update the BIOS, the process is fairly straightforward but there is really no vendor documentation that I could find besides 3 steps listed on the marketing page of their website.Well followed the steps and nothing happened. Looked up Youtubes and they provided additional detail that the process is very dependent on the USB stick and how it is formatted. I was using an older USB 2.0 formatted as FAT32 which seemed to be the recommendation by all the YouTubes but still couldn't get any indication that the update process was working. As a final attempt I scraped around in my junk drawer and found a very old USB that would allow me to format to FAT16, loaded the software on the stick, plugged it in and pushed the button and suddenly lights started blinking. Once the process looked to have completed plugged everything else and everything seems to work well, with the exception of Bluetooth, which is really glitchy, hoping to find an updated driver that will fix that. The BIOS software is nice. No problems pairing DDR5 RAM that had the XMP stuff (Corsair Vengance). No issues enabling high bandwidth support. Benchmarking seemed to support that everything was working at the correct published speeds. Bios appears to support overclocking even though they say it isn't available on the chipset, I haven't tried it, and probably won't, but the option seems to be available.UPDATE: I was able to find a newer Bluetooth driver and now don't have issues with bluetooth. 1 month in and motherboard has been a champ, lots of use, no issues. Updating to 5 stars.

Very impressive. The board offers excellent features, the WiFi works great, the Bluetooth has no issues (Although - install the board drivers instead of using Windows default ones). Good amount of ports. I do wish the manual was better that shipped with it, but I downloaded the one from the web prior to installation and had no issues.

Sadly, the A620 ASRock m-ITX board is still unavailable from Amazon. I hope they start carrying it soon because this Gigabyte board is a big disappointment.Pros:1. It's mini-ITX and says Gigabyte.Cons:1. Build quality - even though ITX boards cost a premium, that doesn't mean it should cost extra AND be cheaply built. This board feels cheap and looks cheap in person.2. Less features - compared to the ASRock A620 board that's similarly priced, the ASRock gives more features and options.3. Memory incompatibility - I tried two completely different sets of memory, both supporting AMD's EXPO feature. Firstly, the motherboard wouldn't even post with either set before doing a BIOS update. After the BIOS update, I was able to install Windows, but the system was not stable as soon as EXPO memory settings were enabled. It would freeze during stress tests or benchmarks. It would go to sleep and not wake up. It would freeze during simple web browsing. Since I've replaced the motherboard with the ASRock instead, all these problems have vanished. Runs EXPO memory settings fine. So far 100% solid and stable.There's no way I'd do another build with this motherboard. I hope Amazon will carry the competitors A620 board soon because their return and support policy is excellent if you have any issues. The ASRock A620 lightning m-ITX board completely outclasses this Gigabyte product. Shockingly so. It works better, it feels and looks much higher quality too.Gigabyte needs to either drop the price of this clearly budget motherboard, or start making it a little better.

Actually a fully working refurbished motherboard, all it was missing was strangely enough the screw for the ssdIts everything you'd expect for a super cheap itx board and nothing more

Well, it works and that's important. However, it uses strange drivers which makes it a huge pain to install Windows since you need to stop that process to install the Wifi driver. Other than that, it *seems* really solid, but the construction is quite frankly garbage and has possibly the cheapest, worst I/O shield I've ever seen. Plugging in the 6-pin and 24-pin connectors made worrying clicking noises but then I just realized it was the horrible I/O shield moving around and making noise instead of something structural.

Compared to any option in its price range it's fantastic! Install was easy, booted perfectly without any BIOS issues. The only thing we had to do, which genuinely could affect some other users, was install the Wi-Fi drivers and Bluetooth drivers. The wi-fi antennas are a bit big, but honestly, that is such a minor complaint for how great this board has been to us so far.

Good motherboard for the price, nice and compact, wifi works great and has good range, lots of features and supports all cpus moving forward.Get this if you are on a budget!Greetings from Venezuela

Es la placa base más económica que pude encontrar en formato mini itx, y que se ajustara a mi presupuesto. Aunque siempre recomiendan las B650 para ensambles, la verdad estoy satisfecho con las prestaciones de esta A620, y más teniendo en cuenta que busco armar un pc pequeño y eficiente. Va perfecta con mi procesador ryzen 5 7600 y gpu nvidia 4060ti
