The new Intel Coffee Lake processors have the ambition to completely dominate the desktop PC platform. Indeed, the six powerful cores at the heart of a premium Intel Core i7 CPU are hard to resist if you take your gaming seriously. But all that power costs something and you will have to invest into a new motherboard if you want to unlock everything the new processors offer. The motherboard features a reworked 1151 socket and Intel Z370 chipset. The best thing about it is that it offers guaranteed support for Intel Coffee Lake processors. Overall, the Gigabyte AORUS Z370-Gaming 7-OP motherboard is designed for the most demanding users and experienced overclockers who want to tweak their PC for the best possible performance
Motherboards from the Gaming series exist for one simple reason: to provide you with a first-class gaming experience when playing even the most challenging games. The Gigabyte AORUS Z370-Gaming 7 motherboard will not disappoint. To achieve the highest frame rate without compromising on image resolution, you'll need to use a configuration with multiple graphics cards. Plug in up to 3 graphics cards in NVIDIA SLI or AMD CrossFire mode and be amazed. This motherboard supports massive performance with the ability to plug in up to 4 DDR4 system memory modules with a maximum OC frequency of 4133Hz.
For data storage, the motherboard offers 6 SATA III ports. It also includes three M.2 connectors, which are the ideal solution for connecting ultra-fast SSD drives. The presence of USB 3.1 ports allows data transfer from external devices at a transfer speed up to twice as fast as previous generations while ensuring backward compatibility with USB 2.0 and 3.0. There is also a USB-C port with an extreme data transfer rate of up to 10Gb/sec. 32GB Intel Optane is included as a matter of course.
Two gigabit network cards are integrated into the motherboard for ultimate gaming. The Killer E2500 is one step ahead of the rest. The network card offers network traffic prioritisation, so that online games always take maximum priority. In addition to all this, the board also features Realtek ALC1220 audio codec to bring your gaming experience to an unprecedented level, complemented by a D/A converter with a wide dynamic range. The audio should please even the most hardcore audiophiles.
The appearance of the motherboard adapts to your individual style with the help of fully configurable RGB lighting, which makes it perfectly suited for a case with a transparent sidewall. You can even set the LED to synchronise with your favourite music or set the colour change according to the temperature of the processor.
