OPEN BOX - GIGABYTE B760I AORUS PRO (LGA 1700/ Intel/ B760/ Mini-ITX/ DDR5/ Dual M.2/ PCIe 4.0/ USB 3.2 Gen2X2 & Intel Core i5-13600K Desktop Processor 14 (6 P-cores + 8 E-cores) with Integrated Graphics Motherboard Mini ITX

It has caveats like the rest: -Your cables will overlap all the pretty LED's that BTW don't work without GCC software and will not allow for temperature monitoring. They are mostly useless bells and whistles that drive up the price. -The I/O heat sink is very large and protruding. It will cause clearance issues with many coolers. The rear backplate has a useless "heatsink" that covers the rear M.2 slot thus preventing access from the rear cut out in most computer cases. Best thing to do is unscrew it and cut the section out. (-10 points for design lab) Gigabyte design lab is a bad lab. GCC software is bug riddled haven. I used it for drivers and uninstalled immediately. I "upgraded" from gigabytes z590i vision D creator series which was a beautiful thing but 11th gen was an utter joke. B760i aorus pro is 10 steps backwards in some ways, 10 steps forward in other ways... Ultimately it's all systems go and I had zero hardware issues. (just clearance issues) Best for the budget if gen 5/gen 4 features and itx are important to you. (if you don't use a gpu with it, it will hit 14,000 read/write speeds via gen 5 nvme slotted into pcie 5.0) I use the internal usb c header+adapter for a 3rd nvme limited to 10gb/s transfer speeds. Basically a portable drive that is fixed inside the case semi-permanently. On the note of transfer speeds - The back io thunderbolt 4/usb-c 3.2 also only reaches 10gb/s. where as other brands in the $400 realm allow for up to x2 thunderbolt 4/usb-c 3.2 ports at 40gb/s transfer speeds.

Box looked fine, but there was no user manual and the package with the motherboard was taped shut with what appears to be scotch tape. Board won’t boot BIOS settings, and after troubleshooting for a full day I believe I was sold a defective, used product. Pretty shady. I am hoping I will receive my refund so it is not a total loss.

Picked this up as a returned item for the low. Had no issues updating Bios for 14th gen and my i5 is handling my windows docker server great DDR5 ram 2.5 gig Ethernet and very small form factor all’s great quality… the M2 heat shield is also really nice the smaller the board the harder it was to work on but turned out pretty clean.

2nd platform in a row that I’ve gone Gigabyte Aorus for an ITX system. Reliable, easy BIOS to navigate and plenty of I/O for your needs.

Primera vez que tengo problemas con estas Aorus DDR4, la compré y jamás pudo bootear, se quedó en un loop infinito y nunca encendió, todas las demás piezas están funcionando en un build diferente. Haciendo troubleshooting me tomó más tiempo del esperado y la ventana de devolución se venció, no pude hacer válida la garantía del fabricante pues fue enviada por Amazon Estados Unidos. Una total pérdida de tiempo y de dinero.
