Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 Z370 Motherboard Review

Final Thoughts


Pricing

The Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 is available from pretty much any major retailers. Right now, it’s available on Amazon for just £231.39. That’s far from the most affordable Z370 motherboard, but it’s still one of the fastest, making it pretty fantastic value for money overall.

Overview

We’ve seen a huge amount of Aorus motherboards over the years here at eTeknix, and they continue to impress. They’re usually not the cheapest, but with so many features crammed onto this motherboard, it goes a long way to justify it. Added value is no bad thing, and if you’re after some over the top design features, and freaking sweet RGB lighting effects, the Gaming 7 will get you where you need to be.

Performance

The hardware choices on this motherboard are spot on. There’s chunky cooling on all the important power delivery hardware. The choice of chokes, capacitors, and the PCB materials in general are all ticking the right boxes. Overall, this is quickly reflected in some of the best Z370 performance figures we’ve seen to date. A few motherboards do a little better but at a much bigger price premium.

The style of the VRM heatsinks and the way the board flows really makes it pop, and it’s sure to appeal to any high-end system builder. The armour on the PCIe slots and other hardware looks great too. Of course, it also prevents the PCB from flexing and keeps your hardware nice and secure, so it’s as much practical as it is a treat for the eyes.

Should I Buy One

I really can’t fault anything on this motherboard. It’s a little expensive, but it delivers big performance and a flawless design that are sure to put a big smile on your face. It has all the features you could ask for, and great build quality to match. It’s easily one of the best Z370 motherboards on the market today.

Pros

  • Excellent performance
  • Stylish gaming aesthetics
  • Armoured hardware
  • Extensive RGB lighting and effects
  • Good connectivity
  • Optane Ready
  • ALC1220 Audio
  • Triple M.2 drive mounts

Cons

  • None

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
