I've only had the board for 5 days so far, and in that time it has proven itself for my purposes. Since uploading the new bios there have been no random BSODs nor are the voltages too high as was the problem with ASUS. The board has very comprehensive settings options in the BIOS, although I don't understand half of them yet. The BIOS layout itself could be better (for example, Gigabyte Utilities bloatware is enabled by default and hidden in the IO settings section. Why?! But you can get the hang of it after a while.
Really a lot of IO on the board
Good VRM
4 M.2 ports is more than I could ever ask for
The reset and start buttons and clearCMOS on the board are very useful for first test and debugging in case of problems or upgrades. But you can do the same by plugging the switch into the headers or temporarily connecting it to the case.
Integrated IO shield is a welcome bonus
Two 8-pin EPS connectors may be overkill, but better than having one melt.
In the bios, the Gigabyte utilities installer is set as the base, which I take as bloatware of the worst type
It doesn't have a 7-segment debug display, which at this price range it could be if the manufacturers weren't idiots
Only 3 Fan headers, so splitters must be used and cable management can be more complicated. Each header handles 1A so at least there won't be a power problem if you don't plug the whole case into one.
The chipset overheats a bit (50° Idle and about 60-70 under load) but this can be solved with a different timing or by adding fan speed
At first it threw random crashes, but this is solved by loading a new BIOS, which is very easy thanks to Q-flash
It is difficult to remove the GPU once the board is in the case and the CPU cooler is installed. I had to use a long wooden stick to get to the lever. Thank God she's planted sideways.
You can forget about taking out the M.2 with graphics installed, the 3 slot 7800xt covers all 4 slots.

Gigabyte never again. Bought with the desire to have another machine that I don't plan to overclock and just have it as a fully stable PC. Every month something doesn't work.
4x M2 PCIe slots
Cooler for all M2 slots
Plenty of USB-A ports
WiFi (bonus if you don't want to pull the cable)
Impossible to reboot - must be turned off/on otherwise the DRAM error LED ends. Manufacturer-supported and verified RAM
Inability to maintain RGB configuration - if you just want white light, you have to dig through rainbow mode and then manually adjust each time you start up
Random USB-C power shutdown
12x updated BIOS and still nothing fixed
WiFi module is only started after complete disconnection of power supply - turn off the power supply and hold power on

The board also has quite an interesting layout of PCIe lanes - only the top M.2 slot has PCIe 5.0, everything else is on 4.0 or 3.0. See manual.
Quality board: )
Lots of USB ports, compared to my previous one it really is heaven: D
Four M.2 NVMe slots
WiFi card with Bluetooth. Pleasantly surprised by the performance of the BT antenna, my wireless headphones now work anywhere in the flat: D
Only 4 SYSFAN connectors on the board
None of the M.2 slots on the board can handle M.2 SATA. If you are migrating like me from a SATA SSD, I recommend buying an adapter.

Gigabyte Aorus is totally overkill
Usability features make it much easier to create.
The subtle and minimalist design looks great.
Plenty of high-speed rear IO and there are plenty of connectors on the motherboard as well.
It includes a PCI-E 5.0 M.2 slot, which will be useful in the near future.
The totally excessive VRM power supply is almost similar to that found on threadripper boards.
q flash plus, Clear CMOS button, plus power and reset button on the motherboard itself.
Lack of PCI-E 5.0 support. (Which doesn't really matter, because there are graphics cards without PCI-E 5.0. )
However, it is still quite expensive.
The Gigabyte Aorus interface is terrible
