Board Software

Gigabyte rolled out new software called "Gigabyte Control Center" in 2022. This was a much needed upgrade from the old Gigabyte App Center. Here it is a one-stop shop for everything related to the motherboard, including driver updates, software updates, fan control, CPU performance adjustments and RGB control. It has received numerous updates since it was first introduced and now has a lot more CPU voltage options, missing and noted in the previous B650E AORUS Master review. ECO mode is seemly still missing, but can be found in AMD Ryzen Master software if needed.

Unfortunately, while Gigabyte has taken a step forward with the software presentation and functionality, It still has Norton Security checked off to be installed by default when updating the drivers. Computer security is great to have, but when it is installed in a sneaky fashion the software in question becomes a form of bloatware.
