Hello, I'm not familiar with the particular motherboard, but I had success with other Gigabyte models. Find the option "CSM Support" in the bios and set it to "Always", leave "Boot Mode Selection" and "Storage Boot Option Control" to "Legacy Only", power down the system and then try booting OpenBSD. If it works, could you pls try booting OpenBSD from PXE, with bios option "Other PCI Device ROM Priority" set to "Legacy OpROM" ?
