if read more about .... you will see its has a lots problems .... with temps, intability...etc
If you read the whole thread, a bios update is available now for the early board version you have.
The overheating cpu comment was by someone who hasn't installed/ pasted the CPU correctly, it's all good now though and the Reddit is full of positive sties on the gigabyte motherboard

Those people on Reddit are misguiding you.i was , not has support for 9000 series , also i read on reddit when many people has same MB and ask gigabyte support and say the my MB not has support for 9000 series because for PCB or something like that

Your motherboard does support 9000 series, Gigabyte just forgot to update the CPU support page.
Just update your BIOS to the latest version and wait for 9800X3D reviews before making a decision.
rev 1.2

SO dont have support for 9000 series, i just upgrades bios latest for X3D Turbo Mode because its say its also for 7000 series non X3D but i dont have that option
and if you see its about VRM differences

Those sentences don't mean anything, they're often lazy with updating the specs after new CPUs launch and they might prefer that the specs reflect the shipping BIOS to avoid customers complaining their PC doesn't boot.
The important points are:
1. The BIOS has the required AGESA update for the new CPUs.
2. If other users have tested it and it works.
Check the bios it's for rev 1.2

Update AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a for next gen Ryzen X3D CPU performance optimized
Add X3D Turbo Mode support
AMD AGESA 1.2.0.2a is for 9000 series and you don't have x3d cpu installed so maybe that's why you don't have x3d turbo option

Dude, you don't own the X3D!!111!!Eleven!!NinetyNine.
The BIOS doesn't display options you can't use.
The bios is clearly on the page of rev 1.2 of the board
Think you are over thinking it , I'll leave at that

We are aware of what the specs say, but as has already been explained, they are NOT meaningful in most cases.
There are many, many examples where motherboards support new CPUs and do not have an updated spec page, and/or do not have an updated CPU support table.
There are also some rare instances where the specs are meaningful, but this is very uncommon.
What is always meaningful, is the BIOS update page and actual user experiences.

yeah and like my system earlier, 16GB works no problem in that AM3 system. The biggest module in the supported list is 4GB.
This thread 
OP just buy what you want, if your happy to waste money go for it, we've tried to help as requested, but you've obviously made your mind up.
The board you have will run the 9000 chips, gigabyte list the support on the agesa notes. There have been plenty of redditers who have done such things and their boards are working fine with the new version of chips. The gigabyte page for the rev 1.2-1.4 is their legacy page and isn't updated because they no longer sell that particular revision. So they have not updated it.
Your current CPU is most likely more than fine doing what you are asking of it, as long as youve got plenty of ram and getting good frame rates.
However you've made it clear you know better and thus imo this thread should be closed as you obviously don't wish to listen to the advise being given.
Go amd or intel, it doesn't really matter, the real world difference between the 2 is probably negligible for your use case, just keep In mind the intel runs significantly hotter when on load and will need cooling accordingly.
We've advised if you are hell bent in upgrading to sit and wait for the release of the 9800x3d, to see what the prices end up as and whether that has a knock on effect to other chips you might be looking at, or whether it's worth upgrading to the latest x3d chip, as you can't believe the hype (looking at the rest of the 9000 range as example).

you want a drawing to explain ????? why bother to put support 9000 series on rev 1.5 and not put support for 9000 series on rev 1.2 ??? its simple but what i see its hard to understand facts FACTS on theri website .... and SPECS are explain everything ....
i think i talk with a robot who repeating ..... what i say its clear need to change MB ... and i want to change gigabyte MB with their 70000 revision on MB i will switch on asrock or msi ....
Because they don't sell the rev 1.2 board any more so they havnt updated the sales pages.
The agesa update list is the one you should be looking at, not the advertisement page.
Please someone close this thread, this guys denser than a British bake off sponge
You've already been given several reasons why they might do that:
1. They don't want users to buy old board with old bios, fit a new CPU and then complain it doesn't work.
2. They're lazy.
3. They forgot.
4. They're just listing the board how it was originally sold.
We've seen it MANY times with motherboards where the specs don't get updated. It is far, far more common than the board has no support.
If you think you know everything and we're all idiots, I don't know why you bother to post here, go start a YouTube channel and tells everybody else your FACTS.
The AGESA updates are what define CPU support, but like I said, you can check forums like reddit for actual user experiences with these boards (which some of us have already done for you).
I can't imagine Gigabyte will update the BIOS with an AGESA that has support and then deliberately strip out the 9000 series microcodes, but the only way to confirm that yourself is to check within the BIOS.
