Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 Z370 Motherboard Review

Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7

When it comes to picking a feature-packed gaming motherboard, the AORUS Gaming range is usually a great place to start. Obviously, the range usually offers up the 3, 5, 7 and the 9, with each offering more features than the last. The Gaming 7 is the perfect blend of high-end features that appeal to high-end consumers, without going to the more extreme Gaming 9 that often a popular choice for extreme overclockers.

Equipped with support for the latest 8th Gen CPUs, the Gaming 7 delivers a huge range of features. You’ll find high-end audio, extensive RGB lighting, robust connectivity and networking, and so much more. Of course, you’ll also get impressive connectivity thanks to the triple M.2 mounts, Optane support, and Thunderbolt. If that wasn’t enough, premium overclocking components ensure stable performance for overclocking.
