Rules
-
Be civil. Uncivil language, slurs, and insults will result in a ban. If you can't say something respectfully, don't say it at all.

No Unoriginal Sources, Referral links or Paywalled Articles.
-
All posts must be related to Intel or Intel products.

Give competitors' recommendations only where appropriate. If a user asks for Intel only (i.e. i5-12600k vs i5-13400?) recommendations, do not reply with non-Intel recommendations. Commenting on a build pic saying they should have gone AMD/Nvidia is also inappropriate, don't be rude. Let people enjoy things.

CPU Cooling problems: Just like 95C is normal for Ryzen, 100C is normal for Intel CPUs in many workloads. If you're worried about CPU temperatures, please look at reviews for the laptop or CPU cooler you're using.

I've owned quite a lot of Asus motherboards and GPUs and typically have had no issues with them, RMA is a whole other issue but I typically have no issues. The first Gigabyte board I tried was the Z490 and had issues right out of the box (had to flash firmware just to get the NIC to work) so that went through their QA or lack of? their BIOS arent even that great either lol. I also tried a 3080 Gigabyte when they first came out, sooner or later I had to replace the fans. But these are just my personal experience, some people out there will use only Gigabyte stuff and are just fine and maybe had nightmare experience with Asus. Nowadays I would probably go more for an MSI board first before Asus and probably even ASRock before Gigabyte.
If you're just comparing these two models, just going through the spec sheet, Asus uses Intel NIC, Gigabyte uses Realtek, both uses Intel WiFi (but some say Gigabyte went for both Realtek after), Asus tend to have better audio support. Thats about it really from me, everything else seems to check out. The rest I would go to say Amazon or Newegg and read other user reviews to see if they have any issues.
