Question Should I buy a mobo that is rev 1.0?

[Ancipital]

I am in the game for hunting down a mainboard for my new computer. First I opted for x870 but I see they don't have nothing extra to offer compared to x670.
So I want to go for Gigabyte X670 Gaming X AX V2 which unfortunately is rev 1.0
I know that many boards are pretty unstable in rev 1.0
Can you recommend another board in the x670 generation that has a higher rev?

some motherboard only have rev 1.0. they only add new rev for fixing or adding improvement

I'm not sure I'd get worried much about version 1.0.

Within the last 4 hours, I read of a certain motherboard whose later versions had characteristics not found on earlier versions....tendency for coil whine, fewer layers on the board, etc.

Gigabyte AMD board, as a matter of fact.

Unless of course you have specific reasons to be suspicious about version 1.0 on your particular motherboard.

gigabyte ga-990fxa-ud3(that I had) was not stable until rev3.0 or so....
(great board by the way...)

And other boards only have a 1.0, and are perfectly stable from the start.

Being rev. 1.0 isn't necessarily a bad thing.
I used to have a Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master (rev. 1.0) that worked like a charm.
I've never had issues with it in 5 years of owning it.

Correct.
And sometimes it isn't about improvements at all.
Sometimes, they just change the suppliers for certain parts and they label those motherboards as rev. 1.1 or 2.0, without being an upgrade in any way.

Mine was rev 1.0 and I run 8650 at 4.9-5GHz on it .
