To be fair, this is a Gigabyte issue and - as far as we know - not related to AMD. I'm not here to bash Gigabyte (I bought my first Gigabyte mainboard in 2000 or so and then it was basically always Asus or Gigabyte) but this really brings my blood to a boil. I didn't hear about such issues with any ASRock, Asus or MSI mainboard. So if my X570 Aorus Master starts acting up I'll replace it and sell it on a certain auction site as defective.
This reminds me of the Socket 7 days where you could take literally nothing for granted and mainboards would work or not work depending on moon phases.
*Sighs* I was always ready to recommend Gigabyte but right now I feel lost. Don't get me wrong, I won't argue that every single GB mainboard is bad out there but seeing that this issue has
been going on from at least x470 and is still present speaks volumes. Maybe I should give ASRock a try and forget about some fancy features. I'd rather have a rock stable system.
Edit: I fear that this is an actual electric defect, seeing that many people don't have any issues whatsoever and then the issues start and become more and more frequent. Seeing that all my mainboards from Nehalem+ are still working this would be a real bummer.
