Gigabyte Z690 AERO G, correcting so many wrongs!

[@TheRealDanji]

Still the best motherboard reviews I've found on the platform. Great stuff Laurent!

[@theMaster...]

Looking forward to your upcoming motherboard reviews for the new AM5 platform Laurent. Keep up the great work!

[@darkjp]

Yet again a fantastic review that was an absolute pleasure to watch! Definitely bringing me some chagrin every time, but in a good way!

[@Laurentschoice]

Thanks Dark :)

[@Nicklz5555]

Class review man love it 😎 you're funny 😆. Hopefully you get your hands on the z790 areo g very soon. Just preordered one and really looking forward to rocking it with a 13700k 😎👌👍 keep up the good work bro.. Peace ✌️

[@enthusiasticgmgaming4165]

Awesome review as usual Laurent!

[@swizzler8053]

The best reviewer is back. Really love the aero version. Really like a motherboard with white accents. Also really like the asus prime series. Keep up the great work bro and stay safe (in the title it says aro instead of aero ❤️💋).

[@Laurentschoice]

just corrected now :) thanks :)

[@matheussodre2370]

I absolutely love your reviews and personality!!! Im a starting creator, in doubt if I should go with the z690 aero g or the Asus z690 rog strix f gaming… whats your pick, Laurent?

[@Laurentschoice]

Hi and thanks for the kind words. I'd go for the strix. It has a better thermal behaviour which in a content creation setup is key

[@matheussodre2370]

@@Laurentschoice Thank you so much! =) I actually meant Asus z690 Rog Strix A vs z690 Aero G, would you still pick the Strix? Also, would you suggest any air coolers, Laurent? Thanks for the help, i'm 13 years old still learning!

No PCIe5 storage and on intel processors that are currently slower than a AMD Ryzen 7000s right? I love your reviews dude. Congrats on the chakra. With all the PCIe 4 I feel like I'm watching a video from 2 years ago.

[@Laurentschoice]

Ahahah :) In my opinion PCIe 5 is nothing but a marketing thing. The standard which we will really discover in terms of performance gain is the PCIe 4 standard. This is the first year (and first chipsets ) we see which offer a broader PCIe 4.0 support and that will change a lot of things both in terms of storage accessibility and new gen GPU performances :) And thanks for the kind words btw ... I absolutely love you for it

[@wayneseymour1]

Dude!! Great presentation that's still relevant today , great detail. BTW what brand of chair is that you are seating on?

[@Laurentschoice]

TT esports

[@belsteed6050]

Good job Laurent love you.

[@AquaStevae]

I realize you are in Z690 heaven lately, but I'd really love it if you would do a full review and comparison vid on the X570 CH VIII EXTREME vs Gigabyte and MSI's versions of their EXTREME boards, and how well that mobo did with fully loaded and pushed to extreme's. X570 will be around MUCH LONGER than most people believed it would, and there are some surprises still to come for this platform. Mark that down.

[@Laurentschoice]

Agreed

[@Laurentschoice]

I ll look into it :)

[@DMT1221]

With black Friday I am deciding between Asus Strix b650-A and Gigabyte B650 Aero G. Thoughts?

[@vman1320]

I have this motherboard and installed 4 Corsair ddr5 5600mhz ram sticks. It can only handle 4800mhz clock speed. Is this because the CPU is unable to handle that clock speed, not the MB?

[@generalgrevous1984]

Gigabyte are awesome boards but if you want RGB, best go to pretty well any other vender; even GamersNexus recently called out Gigabyte for their broken RGB software.

[@nicholash8021]

Not such good news with my Aero B650 G and 7950X which is not stable if using any form of PBO tuning, such as setting the curve optimizer. This may be a bug in the BIOS as I am able to push to -30 on all cores with Ryzen Master but I cannot boot after making those settings. Or maybe I just have a lemon.

[@MD-os4cy]

Can you help me please? Wien I put 2 ram Im getting Blue screen while starting games, when I remove 1 RAM its working Fine. RAM is Kingston Fury DDR 5 32GB 2x16GB 5200

[@hellonader]

Creator PCIe slots Question. So will this board support more than one graphics card? I have two 2070 Supers that I would like to salvage from my old build and I hear that these cards don't use the full potential of PCIe 4 and above anyway and with no performance difference between x16 and x4. Will I be able to plug them both in successfully into this board? Thank you for your advice!

[@pinewoods-media]

At 8:11 he goes over PCIE expansion and says how it will not support a dual GPU

[@starrims]

will this board support 13th gen (is it adequate for 13700k?) I know Z690 supports Raptor lake but on their official page, they did not update with the backing of the 13th gen!

[@Laurentschoice]

If its a z690 powered board you'll need to update your bios but YES it will support any raptor lake CPUs on the market

[@starrims]

@@Laurentschoice thanks!

[@kanoal79]

Would you recommend this mobo over the msi z690 force wifi? Im planning a white-themed build with a 12700k

[@Laurentschoice]

This is lore than enough :)

[@pollarwtas7828]

I have the aero g ddr5, can i ran kingston 6000mhz on it? Cause i read some say that it does noy read that speed and will probably not gonna open the pc :/

[@Laurentschoice]

I should work . The aero G is graded for 6ghz ram .

[@pollarwtas7828]

@@Laurentschoice lets hope so brother , cause it scared me a bit reading that is gonna read only until 4800mhz cayse xmp does not work properly.. anyways i a going to purchase them today, thanx for the quick reply!

[@toolie478]

Did the 6000mhz ram work?

[@davidjames4583]

👍 !!! 👍 !!! 👍 !!!

[@heyday8962]

Are the VRMs on this mobo better than the Z690 Aorus Pro mobo? Which one should I get for my i7 12700k?

[@Laurentschoice]

The Aorus Pro is a little stronger VRM wise. But both can handle the 12700k beyond its limits

[@heyday8962]

@@LaurentschoiceThank you for your quick reply, I really appreciate it. Cheers! 😊

[@randommemes6969]

Is that mean that I cant play 4k with 144fps?😢

[@Jeppan212]

Hello!, so my friend has this motherboard and enabled XMP to make his ram run in the right speeds. When he did this it didnt boot it just went to a black screen, so he cleared the cmos by putting a screwdriver between the jumpers, Now his pc isnt starting at all, is the motherboard dead or is there anything he can do ?

[@Madcatcomix]

Follow up of any fixes?

[@luizvictorsq]

Any tutorial for best config bios for this MB ?

[@vc4961]

im buying this beceause it looks cool

[@toolie478]

Did u end up buying it an what ram did u use?

[@pietrmuffei8874]

Fuck yes. Hello Laurent

[@prowokator]

I got one.. Sitting on my table not being able to POST. All I get is a dram light on.. Tried with a new set of ddr5 sticks, problem persists.. God damn computers..

[@Laurentschoice]

paradoxically, the memory led usually points at a problem with the CPU being either damaged, or the mobo socket (usually), or the CPU being pressed too hard against the CPU socket (lose the screws of your all-in-one cooler). Also, can you clarify where you placed ur ram stick (A1, A2, B1 , B2). Thx

[@prowokator]

@@Laurentschoice Oh gotta try loosening the cooler and check for visible damage, thanks for the tip! The ram sticks are in A2 and B2 slots. I think I managed to update bios with q-flash last night, I took out everything from the mobo and it did seem to do something for about 10minutes. Then I installed everything back and still got Black screen and dram light on.

[@andrewh5640]

What heat gun are u using please? Thanks

[@KG_BM]

Can you do more itx boards.

[@Laurentschoice]

I can but on the z790 and x670 series coming next week :)

[@KG_BM]

@@Laurentschoice great i look forward to your content! Hope you can do the b650 itx board when they finally release too

[@zMeul]

drop the WiFi and 2.5gbe and give me 10gbe NIC - WiFi on a creator mobo is desperately useless, people need wide bandwidth to their bulk storage / NAS

[@Laurentschoice]

AMEN.. ill mention on my next creator board.

[@rolandopavin73]

HDMI is 1.4 and for this mobo is really wrong!
