No issues with Gigabyte boards, across several machines. Are you sure this isn't just an MSI problem?


I have a sample size of one, so I really couldn't say. Problems with long boot times, Expo causing BSOD, context restore not working etc appear very widespread on the AM5 platform by what I'm seeing online.

Are you on AM5? My kids' AM4 board is a Gigabyte, and my friend has two AM4 MSI boards and they're all working fine.


I am on AM5 (Asus TUF B650M PLUS Wifi) and I am rock solid at 6200/CL28 with HYNIX A die 64GB. CPU is 7800X3D and GPU 7900XT.

I was able to enable context restore and cold boot happens in 13-16 seconds straight to the desktop.


Two recent builds with Asrock MBs, one CPU 7950X, another 7800X3D, both run very stable with GSkill CL30 6000MT/s memory (overclocked to 6200MT/s).


AM5, yes. I was happy with an Asus board for the duration of AM4, but given recent events I decided to switch.


Sorry, what recent events? I was under the impression that ASUS was one of the better board / gpu manufacturers?


Not who you asked, but Asus was in the news last year for overvolting the CPUs on their AM5 boards killing both the CPU and motherboard itself.


That's the one. I know it's rare, but I saw a CPU catching fire and noped out of there.
