GIGABYTE has the absolute worst Customer Service.

The board is aesthetically pleasing. Materials are of High Quality, there is no doubt about that. The company is transparent over future support for PCIE 4.0. There's not really much more to say. Supports 10th gen Intel processors as well as future CPU's supporting the LGA1200 socket. GIGABYTE only includes two SATA connectors (1x 90 degree and 1x straight connector) There is one NVME slot on the front of the board and another on the back of the board (this raises questions over thermal performance depending on the case you're using). Also, one of the NVME slot's performance will be slightly affected if you intend to utilize all four SATA ports on the motherboard. This motherboard doesn't seem to pair up nicely with my Core i7 10700 (non-K version). My CPU has a TDP of 65W. When running the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility the Package TDP Limit well exceeds 65W (goes up to in excess of 125W) causing thermal throttle limiting. I went into the BIOS and limited the TDP to 65W and re-ran the test and the CPU was being power throttled. I've also updated the BIOS (to the May, 2020 update). GIGABYTE's current BIOS version is from last month (May, 2020); whereas ASUS has been rolling out BIOS updates more frequently and has a BIOS update available from June, 2020. I was on call with Intel for the last two days and all fingers pointed to GIGABYTE for the TDP issue I'm facing. GIGABYTE Technology is virtually at standstill at this time. Their customer service is not operating. I've been trying to reach them; they are not being clear with their current status thus putting customers on long hold times with no answer on the other end. Other motherboard manufacturers have their customer service representatives working from home. I had to call ASUS to verify certain BIOS settings on my GIGABYTE motherboard! This is extremely pathetic and totally unacceptable. Also, GIGABYTE's BIOS still looks antiquated after all these years (I've been using their motherboards since 2005). This motherboard has a lot of potential. Its designed for overclockers and gamers. Although, I don't intend to overclock (which is why I purchased the locked version of the Core i7 10700 CPU). However, this motherboard does not adhere to Intel Specifications. The motherboard is manipulating my CPU's TDP without my consent. Performing stress tests is very unpleasing; temperature goes up to 100 degrees Celsius on my CPU (even though there is adequate ventilation in and around the system). GIGABYTE needs learn how to structure their Customer Service Team. There are no excuses. This company is making my experience frustrating and is leading to anxiety.
