Good price for this motherboard with WiFi. There are some negative comments in Reddit about USB instability with this motherboard.
I really hope so, cos already bought this motherboard a month or so ago but still havn't put my PC together… now I dunno whether to go to all that trouble only to find out it's gonna do this crap or just try to return it in advance of trying.. Some people discussing some of the issues:

that said, surely it can't be everyone/that widespread of I would've heard earlier. I did SO MUCH research into which one to get, man :/
I'm on the same boat with you.. Got this MB but haven't put everything together yet, waiting for the 3070. All the reviews were positive on this MB when I was doing the research…. Hmmmmm
V2 boards revision are showing up on Gigabyte's website for the Pro and Elite. The differences are mostly on USB type C header front panel and VRM so I don't whether they have "fixed" the USB problems as I don't have the board and thinking about getting one.
What's the difference between this and the Gigabyte z390 Aorus Pro, is it just that one supports Intel and this ones for AMD?
Usb instability? Damn. Link?
Otherwise it would be perfect for me…
Edit: Does disabling XMP and HPET fix it? And using only two ram slots?
Ie: can this board be made to actually work?
