Hm, don't want to side with with Gigabyte here, but drawing a conclusion from a test of a PSU enduring 120% load for an extended period of time failing would not make me dismiss all their products.


>from a test of a PSU enduring 120% load for an extended period of time failing

That's from gigabyte's response, not the accusations levied against them. In GN's testing, they found that the PSU failed at 60% load after 72 hours: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aACtT_rzToI&t=1427s


Well, that is definetly not okay. Would never consider buying something else than a motherboard from gigabyte, but i prefer Asus anyway.


They're fucking shit. I've had to replace once twice here and it's less than 50% of the stated load.

There's a Be Quiet unit in there now like the rest of the PCs in my place.


Have been happy with their Aorus GPU, a 1080TI Xtreme, however their software suite turned into a pile of shit.

I will not buy another Gigabyte / Aorus card for that reason.


The cheap gigabyte cards are fine. I’ve got a bottom end 1660 and it has been good. But I only use the stock nvidia drivers with it.

Just the power supplies are dog crap.


The card is fine, but if you want to control the oh so annoying lighting...

Fortunately Afterburner will let you take control of the fan etc with a custom profile.


I had a problem with the lighting in my Logitech mouse. I desoldered all the LEDs :)


Not to mention said test is in a general purpose computer and we're talking about a monitor here, with a fixed load.
