Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 ‘Coffee Lake’ – a Motherboard without Defective Features
Introduction
Manufacturers presented a fairly extensive range of motherboards on the Z370, including Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming. The equipment at the motherboard is the simplest, but Gigabyte still equipped the Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming very well.
The motherboard offers four DDR4 DIMM slots, three mechanical PCIe 3.0x16 slots and three PCIe 3.0x1 slots, six SATA 6 Gbps ports, two M.2 high-speed slots. There are also seven USB 3.1 Gen1 ports, six USB 2.0 and two USB 3.1 Gen2, so that the USB equipment is decent. Gigabyte installed a gigabit network interface and a good audio subsystem. Below we will take a closer look at Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming.

Closer Look
Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming is an ATX motherboard with black textolite. On the PCH cooler, you can see the AORUS logo, as well as the inscription on the plastic I/O casing. All three passive radiators are installed on the motherboard. Two mechanical PCIe 3.0x16 slots and four DDR4 DIMM slots got a metal gain.
Gigabyte added several accessories to the package. There is an I/O stub, a motherboard manual and a support disk. Also, Gigabyte added four SATA cables, a G-Connector and an AORUS sticker. Of course, the bridge 2-Way SLI HB would not be redundant, but for an entry-level product this is not so important.
This year AMD introduced new processors, reviving the market. As a result, Intel had to react. So the chip giant increased the number of cores and threads in Intel Coffee Lake-S processors. But because of the LGA1151 socket upgrade, it will be necessary to purchase new motherboards based on the Z370 chipset. One of the largest manufacturers of motherboards Gigabyte introduced several models Z370. The entry-level segment is positioned by Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming.
Hardware on the motherboard can not be called rich, but it will be quite sufficient for most users. And the price is very attractive too. Four DDR4 DIMM memory slots are connected to the processor, which allows you to install memory up to 64 GB on the board. Note three mechanical PCIe 3.0x16 slots and three PCIe 3.0x1 slots. You can install two NVIDIA video cards or three AMD cards on the board. Two M.2 (32 Gbps) slots and six SATA 6 Gbps ports are available to connect the drives. If M.2 slots will work in PCIe mode, then there are no additional restrictions.
Intel used the Z370 chipset as the basis for the Coffee Lake-S processors, but technically, it has nothing new. The connection between the eighth-generation Core processor and the Z370 chipset passes through DMI 3.0 (PCIe 3.0 x4).
There are two USB 3.1 Gen2 ports (one Type A and Type C), seven USB 3.1 Gen1 and six USB 2.0. The board has a USB type C connector for the front port of the chassis, but it works according to the USB 3.1 Gen1 specification from the Z370 chipset. The integrated graphics core can be output via the DVI-D and HDMI 1.4 ports on the I/O panel. The network connection is provided by the Intel I219-V controller. The audio subsystem is represented by the Realtek ALC1220 chip, supplemented by five audio capacitors and four WIMA.
Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming showed relatively low power consumption. Under load, power consumption remained within reasonable limits, if we take into account six cores at a rather high frequency.
For fans of lighting there are several integrated RGB LEDs on the board that support different effects.
Conclusion
Advantages of Gigabyte X399 AORUS Gaming 7:
+Very good CPU power subsystem
+Good equipment, including six SATA ports, seven USB 3.1 Gen1 and two USB 3.1 Gen2
+Support for PCI Express 3.0 on three PEG slots
+Very good performance in general, good stability and efficiency in idle mode
+Two M.2 interfaces without PCIe limitations
+Very fast download
+Improved audio subsystem
With the motherboard Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming the buyer will receive a balanced model Z370 for the processors of the eighth generation at a reasonable price. It does not have serious shortcomings.
