So some youtuber made a video about how this seems to have a huge bug. The r5 3600 works fine and the r7 3700x works on all other motherboards but gigabyte seem to cause BSODs. Is this really a thing? A little worried as I've just ordered r7 3700x and b550 gigabyte mobo.

Hmm. So ill have to update this now. Seems I am getting some BSODs very randomly. Some while loading windows some while browsing the Internet. Things like acpi.sys failed. I've seen 2 others but I cant remember what they said now.
I was going to format and reinstall windows so I'll ry that anyway. Then it will be memtest I suppose...

Yea im just not having fun with this board im guma have to return it. Everything looks good and it goes well for a day then boom bsod. Fresh windows installed same thing. Proper ****** off with this and gigabyte may take some doing to get back inside my pc...
I'm running f10 there is one after f10 but updating bios is risky when you are getting random bsods isn't it? I'll have a loom at memtest later today.
EDIT - so decided against more tests. Placed a return order for the motherboard and ordered a rog strix one instead, cost 50 quid more but I think I need it.

The issue is with gigabyte motherboards, not just any brand. There does seem to be a fair few having this issue according to the comments on that video. If I had seen it before ordering this motherboard I wouldn't have ordered it and ordered another brand.
I used the BIOS app from the app centre to update to f10 and it never fixed the issue. I did see it wasn't the latest one the gigabyte page but it was a lot newer than what the guy in the video was using no doubt. Non of them mention this as being fixed or even as an scknowledged problem so I'm just getting out before I get to annoyed by it.
