Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Yeah that was my first reaction, but then I realized this one is really pretty too. Asus does make some good looking boards. I'll be honest though, I really miss the wonky colors of the Sandy Bridge/AM3+ era like the Gigabyte UD series.
This board is more expensive, it has more I/O by a lot and better VRM. It’s around $50 more. I’m guessing they really didn’t have any white ones otherwise why would they throw money away.

I know its been talked about a lot over the years and I've had my bad run-ins with them as well. I had to RMA my Z890-A Strix, it just stopped POST-ing one day, no LED cycling just nothing. Swapped the CPU, RAM, etc. It would turn on the RGB and fans but no activity on the socket. I crossed my...
I got dragged hard for questioning the reddit nerds that say you can only clean these things with magical unicorn farts and fairy feathers. I just spray some sprayway brand no-ammonia glass cleaner on mine and wipe it with a damn microfiber. Looks like new 2 years later.
I love my colorful lights but I don't have to have them, it really bothers me when I see people spending $500 on the Corsair or Lian Li ecosystem for a bunch of fans and controllers and then buying a 5060 8GB.
It doesn't hide them tho, it just makes the Gigabyte logo light up.
Gigabyte cards can only be controlled by GCC. I usually install it once, set the colors, then uninstall it since they stay in memory forever.
I'm not really understanding the point of the little sliding bit over the RGB, but the card seems pretty good and well built. I know these had temperature problems early on, I hope these ones have been rectified.
