VRM's and Chokes on this board are high-end units found on many of the X299 boards, which is likely why it overclocked so easily. Have had one of these running 24/7 for almost 6 months now while doing game development modelings, and have had no issues whatsoever. Most stable board I have ever come across.
Gratz with 200k SUBS, you deserve it so much
The ding is back!!!! You offer Great thorough reviews, very much appreciated.
Love the reviews. They're extremely helpful, but no one has done a comparison or even in depth review of the gaming 5. On the fence between the two, can't wait for your review of the 5. Thanks!
I think the gaming 7 has better sound other than that they are the same. The Ultra and Gaming 3 are the sweet points in the Gigabyte range.
I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do these reviews and make these videos. Liked and subscribed.
I absolutely love your reviews - keep up your awesome 👏 work👍🏻
This board looks absolutly sick !! Tnx for the review Tom !
Its amazing how different the boards look without the lights. Its a monochrome dream without the lights, and with the lights, well, its all subjective.
The tiniest of Logans! Thanks for the great videos!
I have this board and it has the most solid VRM. Its components are made by intersil and they are the most expensive smart power stages money can buy. $5.50 just for ISL99227B phases which are 60A along with 76A cooper bussmann chokes. though this is a 4+2 set up, it has ISL6617 phase doublers which have current balancing and temp monitoring. the ISL69138 is what's driving this board. I found this board for $150 along with a 8700K I got for $280, both open box. the 8700K I got, easily can hit 5.3Ghz stable at 1.350v. Now at 5GHz with 1.250v. it was also solid but, the great thing is the VRM. it never exceeded 60c. when at full stress.
hmmm Logan, Can you do a review for the Aorus z370 Gaming 5 board? I cant find any at all.
Gaming 3 will be a better board, I have the gaming 7 and in terms of performance and useability it's well overpriced. RMA ing next week, ordered an Asus Apex to replace.
This does have a 5ghz profile that works well but so do all the cheaper Gigabyte boards.
The XMP profiles don't work on high end fast memory and the little fan (which runs full time on stock settings) is a waste of time. There is nothing this board will do that a £120 Asus Prime or a Gaming 3 or Ultra won't do for a lot less money.
The bios is terrible, not only are the menu's laid out terribly, the voltage for your memory is always under what you set which caused me loads of instability problems until I worked it out. Also if you get the settings wrong and have to reset it sometimes wipes your saved bios profiles, they do return after a few more resets at random but is really frustrating when chasing an overclock. If you can get one for £160 or less then worth a look, anymore then definately get something else.
0:08 That's what she said!!!!!!
YES, I have on occasion!! LOL!!
I like the individual lights, gives the effect of a searchlight or perimeter light flashed right at you.
So did the bios get any better?? Would you recomended it today??
reeee'
BIOS RELEASE f10 last month make this a beast!
Awesome board gigabyte boards last a long long time
Great Review! Will you do a followup video summarizing the three boards after a couple bios improvements? Should make for an interesting insight on progress from the three companies
Best guy on youtube 👌👌👌👌
Asus Maximus X was 20€ more expensive in Germany than the Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7, I experienced stability through the years with Gigabyte compared to other brands, so I'll stick with Gigabyte when it comes to Motherboards.
Benutzt du on-board sound ?
?
ich ja wenn ich mir das mainboard kaufe. benutze zur zeit das z77x-d3h v1 und da benutze ich auch den onboard sound chip. Wenn ich mir später studio headset kaufen möchte hole ich mir lieber ein DAC-Amp als eine pcie soundkarte, da es bei dem mainboard manchmal zum rauschen kommt, wenn ich etwas anschließe oder so
Also Ich verstehe immernoch nicht den Grund der Frage ob Ich on-board sound nutze, aber nein, Ich benutze ein USB Headset von Turtle Beach.
Es ist ein Z60, welches Ich gekauft habe, nachdem mein EarForce Z7 kaputt ging (nach 3 Jahren), Ich verwende es, weil es sau guten Bass hat und generell eine vernünftige Audio/gaming Qualität hat.
Habe auch ein z77x, aber ein ud3h rev. 1.2.
Meine Anlage sollte aber einen guten jump nach oben machen was Qualität betrifft mit dem neuen Board, die benutzt nämlich den on-board Sound.
Die meisten Boards sollten mittlerweile auf dem Niveau einer guten 40€ Soundkarte sein.
Der Grund, weshalb ich gefragt habe, ob du on-board sound benutzt, ist weil, die Gigabyte Gaming 7 Mainboards, seit bereits mehreren Generationen, eine On-board Qualität bieten, die der Konkurrenz überlegen ist. Aber nur die Gaming 7. Die Einfacheren Boards haben etwas, dass ´nur´ dem Supreme FX Sound von Asus ebenbürtig ist. Wer sowieso eine hochwertige DAC Soundkarte installiert oder Headphone mit eingebauter Soundkarte benutzt, sollte das im Hinterkopf behalten.
Gigabyte hat schon seit langem eine Zusammenarbeit mit Creative Labs. Wer so ein eine Motherboard kauft, braucht zum Beispiel nicht eine Sound Blaster Z Karte zu kaufen. In Wirklichkeit sind Asus Hero Boards also teurer, weil sie nur 0815 Sound bieten, aber nicht billiger sind als Gaming 7 Boards. Du kannst den Unterschied visuell feststellen. Asus Hero hat nur diesen kleinen Chip mit dem Supreme FX Logo drauf , während Gigabyte Gaming 7 wesentlich komplexer, bzw. grösser ist, wie eine intergrierte Soundkarte eben.
Thanks Tom, mega x370 reviews good job !
Hey TTL, do you know if you're ever going to do a build video? Not that this is a massive hint or anything :p
btw 4 videos in one day, sweet as mate.
Looking forward to the ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Professional Gaming i7 motherboard review. Hope you have it.
Great vid as always tom. Quick question are u installing a new windows in every board your testing? I’ve found myself buying multiple windows usb when testing out different systems. Or do you install in one and then deactivate and install in another? Thx
Just don't activate it at all, that's what most people do. It has no impact on performance whatsoever wether windows is activated or not. If it's good enough for Linus tech tips...
nice review as always.
I saw this on overclockers with an identical price to the hero at £259. Did Gigabyte give you the recommended price of £270 odd? Perhaps they mixed it up with the Wi-Fi AC version price. Pretty sure I saw online that both of these boards have Wi-Fi skus perhaps coming out a bit later.
As of 10/05/17 The Hero (Wi-Fi AC) shows up on Newegg @ 279.99 USD, the Aorus Gaming 7 is 249.99 USD
Yo my good mate, I have this board since 2018. Can I install a 4070? and you think it will work? I am updated for an all new computer set up. Big thanks mate.
Just subscribed. I don't remember if you covered it, but you can 3d print the customizable plate on the right. You can download it from their website.
Greetins, the thing looks impresive when all the leds are on, really a very good board, just a quick question the bios is F4, but already theres the F14 and F15A, its mandatory to update to F12 first to go to F14 or the beta bios. ??¿¿
@OC3D Tv hey thanks for the video. i am new to this,so i was wondering the numbers on the motherboard it shows the temperature or something? i couldnt find anywhere anything about it
This mobo would look so good in a watercooled build with silver fittings and waterblocks.
Fluroxide :D indeed it would
That motherboard looks beautiful when hold and touch at 5:20
Good Review, I just got this mobo and I didn't realize there is a VRM fan O_O.
I bent a couple of USB 3.0 header pins accidentally :(
Hey OC3D TV
i really live your reviews so could you give me your advice on which would be a better choice Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 or Asus ROG Maximus X Hero?
I made a whole video on it. Or you can read up here: www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cpu_mainboard/gigabyte_z370_aorus_gaming_7_review/1
8:30 Nice Asus pillow next to the Gigabyte board. ;)
Which motherboard would you recommend?
The Gigabyte aurous z370 gaming 7 or the Asus ROG Strix z370e gaming?
Just bought this exact mobo for $121 U.S. at local PC store open box. Got the 8600k for $189 U.S. open box at the same time. So for under $350 U.S. and bios F10 release last month this is a beast of a bargain! Sold my current mobo and cpu and this cost me $0 to upgrade. Which is why I didnt go for 8700k or 9700k.
How did you use the LED_demo header? I want to try my LED's before my CPU arrives
Did you make sure the uncore clock was the same across all the boards?
Hardware.fr showed that it had a measurable effect on performance.
Looking at your other articles, MSI boosted it to 4.3 GHz, ASUS to 4.4 GHz, but the Gigabyte BIOS left it at 3.7 GHz (stock).
Also, would probably explain why this board could push the core clock higher. Less stress on the core b/c the stock memory subsystem could not keep up at >5GHz
thanks for all the work getting these boards out. Asus seems to be the best bet
I hope gigabyte updates their X370 boards to this aesthetic and fix the m.2 slot placement.
i like the watch,,what brand is that?
I think that is my favorite Z370 board so far. That smidge of difference wont bother me.
Eu Tenho essa Maravilha de placa Mãe no meu Gabinete
What would you recommend:
Asus Maximus X Formula
Or
Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7?
Just about to buy one or the other so any insight would be appreciated. ✌️
Formula is superior on so many levels
is there anyway its possible to marry the lights with the Corsair Commander Pro and have them all syncing together with the HD140RGB fans?
lack of USB ports on the rear is a pain...also in Australia the Aorus Gaming 7 is $429 and the Asus Hero is $469
I've got one of these comming as I wasn't a fan of the Asus on features, I'm just wondering being out of the loop for so long - I havnt upgraded in 5 years. Can you tell me what port is best to put my NVME M.2 drive into? I can't make out if there is a differance?
Cheers for the review
Ive not tried every single one, it may make no difference. You could test it yourself and tell me though
I've got it in the top slot and getting full speeds happily :). How having problems with XMP refusing to work, did you have any luck with it?
GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS GAMING 7 OR ASROCK TAICHI
What should buy?
Any updates on how the bios has changed? Thinking about using this board for my build.
is the Gigabyte Aorus Z370 Gaming 5" same perfomace with different interfaces and lower price ?
Its System Hack nope
Just purchased this as the start of my new build with a I7 8700k
Markinpuff nice, I upgraded from z170 and 6700k to z370 and 8700k ;)
TheSpiikki Thanks, I just about have all the pieces, except for that darn pricey GPU, still looking at options. Yes, I would love a 1080ti, but do I need it?
Using the build for VR and productivity. As well as my sons gaming rig, he doesn’t play AAA games yet. I really didn’t want any liquid cooling options of any kind, (Bad Story’s) so I went with a MasterAir Maker 8, which should do the job, I hope. It wasn’t cheap. Went nuts on ram 32gb Corsair Vengeance RGB ddr 3200c16, evga supernova 850g3, it might power my air conditioner lol.
Went crazy looking for a case that would cover all bases in compatibility, so CoolerMaster MasterCase Pro 5 it is. Using a Samsung 500gb nvme as the boot drive, that’s going to be fun configuring that. And 500gb Samsung 850 evo SSD as well as a 4 tb black wd basic storage HD. I have a really nice sound card, but I don’t think I need it, why take up the lanes.
So, any suggestions on GPU’s would be great. I want the MSI beast, but will have to use the onboard video until funds are breathing again..
I did use pcpartspicker, what a great tool, love it. If you would like the link to the build let me know.
Markinpuff i went all out with GPU's 2x Aorus 1080ti Xtreme editions, x62 kraken as cpu cooling and 16gb of ram for now.
TheSpiikki I was hoping to stay away from those liquid cooling options, but I have a case that will accommodate it, if necessary down the road. I don’t think I’m going to use 2 GPU’s lol, your a gamer, big time. I’ll look at getting one of those GPU’s If has no compatibility problems and meets my empty wallet, I could have shopped and waited for sales , but I did get some great buys. I purchased the CPU for 70$ off, that was sweet, so I’ll probably sit back and wait for the 1090’s to come out and pick up a 1080ti for a normal price. Any Idea why memory is o expensive these days? Did they run out of sand? What a conspiracy. Thanks for the feedback.
"other than the lights that are on the board, i'm not exactly sure what it's bringing to the table"
What about the VRMs? It has among the best power delivery for any Z370 motherboard. But I get what you're saying in terms of its feature set!
Power delivery is useless though with a crap bios which can't take advantage of it. Also useless at getting the best out of high end memory compared to my older Z270 Apex board. Not to mention the bios wipes my saved profiles sometimes. One of the worst boards I've ever owned, severely overpriced.
RMA on monday, ordered a Z370 Apex.
I hear you... Thanks for sharing. I'll likely be going Asus as well, to match my Strix graphics card. If I had a different card, I'd probably pick up the Asrock Taichi or fatality i7 (long name).
In Hungary Gigabyte boards usually mutch cheaper then ASUS boards with the same feature set. I think this price willl change after launch. :)
Is that little fan facing the wrong way? what would you intake from there?
Would you recommend this or the ASUS ROG X Hero?
NEED ADVICE: I am working on building a new PC for work and gaming. I use Photoshop a lot for my business ads and webpages. But love gaming too…
I would like to stay in 1080p upgrading 144htz g-sync monitor avoiding Gtx1080' madness prices. I am not into overclocking.
Actually I7 930 2.8 Ghtz, original air cooler.
Gigabyte X58 UDR3 Gtx 550 ti (Lowering from 1920x1080p to 1270x720p and still gaming)
(You may Lol!)
12g Ddr3 triple channel nb frequency 2131.7mhz
ViewSonic VA2323wm (1080p 60htz)
Wondering if it still go for a while with a Gtx 1060 3g or 6g ok with this?
(Keeping after build, have served well) Having feelings for this (once) good old hardware.
What do you think for this new building? (Would be my first one)
Intel - Core i7-8700 EVGA - CLC 240 Liquid Cooler (Would the 120 work?)
Gigabyte - Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 (I like its rgb and sound)
G.Skill - Trident Z RGB 16GB (2 x 8GB) at 3200
Samsung - 860 Evo 1TB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive
EVGA - GeForce GTX 1070 Ti 8GB SC GAMING
Phanteks - Eclipse P350X
EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 750W 80+ Gold
Samsung C27FG70 27” Curved Quantum Dot 1ms (MPRT) 144hz sRGB
The monitor For Gaming and Photoshop would be great, Never had an AMD GPU I could benefit from Freesync, I trust and like Nvidia because I don't know much about AMD Gpus and gsync monitors are expensive if you look for IPS or better for Photoshop.
I wouldn’t mind the video sync feature (never had it) but what do you thing about this next new build in general?
This board is on Newegg bundled with the i7-8700k at $579 usd. That's $50 usd off retail between the two.
Idtelos where? I can't find this..
Yes its more expensive than the Hero and yes its probably an early BIOS that's causing the performance issues , but with this Gaming 7 you do get £40 worth of steam vouchers. I think this is something that should of been mentioned in the review, I mean for gamers this could be a deal breaker. Apart from that great review as always and glad to see 5Ghz is very achievable :D
Apart from the Steam vouchers were not announced until launch - by that point the review was complete.
OC3D TV fair enough. Bit silly of then not to say 😂
Id rather have the board £40 cheaper though.....
Steam vouchers only come with the Gaming 3 & Gaming 5 in UK not the Gaming 7 or Ultra.
5Ghz profile works well on all the Aurus range according to the reviews.
this board is going to be $179 @ 2017 Black friday... which is $80-100 less than the Hero at this moment. I figure OC3D TV would definitely endorse this board over the hero at this price point.
We wouldnt base a review on short time sale prices though.
the gaming 7 has a fancy audio setup similar to the godlike. i want to know how it compares to after market solutions.
what do you do with all these old boards? ;D
For Intel I7 8700k, 32gb corsair vengeance (3000) And graphics Strix 470(my old card).
Motherboard "ASUS Maximus X Hero and Gigabyte aorus gaming 7" which I choose ???
What’s a good board to run with intel i7 8700 , rtx 2070 , and Corsair vengence pro ram ?
This or the Asus z370-a?? no other choices because beside gaming I need thunderbolt for my audio interface and both can with a thunderbolt card...
Stupid question probably but was there an IO shield in the box?
Asus Maximus X Hero or Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7?
Same dilemma ...
Shvebz same here
I've decided to go for the Aorus Gaming 5
Same here..
had the same issue, but I went for the X Hero (Before I had the VII Hero)
Does it works with an I9 9900k?
Does the LED also show CPU temperature or just debug codes ?
After getting this board I can see what you mean. The voltage droop is ok now with the latest bios but the the auto and XMP settings are shit. Had do everything manually or it would either not up the clock or it would be with too high vcore and heat. It's an alright board if you know what you're doing but I expect better from asus. If someone doesn't know what they're doing they're not going to get everything out of this board, or they'll be running it hotter than needed.
Memory voltage is always lower than what you enter, once I worked that out I got on better. Not had a problem with temps but RMA'ing anyway as it's not worth the £230 I paid for it.
Does it have a Thunderbolt 3 port or is it just a USB-C port?
I searched the motherboard and it said that it has rev 1.0. Is that ok or should you update the bios.
How does a large air cooler like cryorig r1 fit on there? Does it block the Ram slots?
Probably one of the sexiest LED-friendly Mobo's that goes for under $250. It's so coooool! I'm barely upgrading in a couple of months though to a whole new MOBO but I want to wait for the 9700K cause I've gotten so hyped up on the rumor that Intel might make 8 Cores on their mainstream CPU's this year! Can you help me decide? Do I wait for it or do I get the 8700K and this Mobo? If I wait, I just want the 9700K to be compatible with this mobo or for Gigabyte to just bring out another one that looks almost exactly the same but for the 9700K.
The i7 9700K wont release till end of the year or early 2019 lol. I'd go with the 8700K Now.
I bought i7 8700K in dec 2017 I gave up on waiting for i7 9700K yeah don't need to upgrade from my i7 8700K fine.
AH man, watch it come out in a few months lol. I'm still going to wait.
So here its the same like with the Gaming 5 ? SATA Port 1, PCIe and M2 Slots SHARE theyir f*** power ?
OC3D TV question so why this gaming 7 is more expensive than the gaming 5, but this one has no wifi included, in which the 5 has????
Swiss Choco dude being serious now, in gaming and in most works, a desktop des not need wifi, because its not meant to be portable, so il stick with my ethernet cable
Can anyone tell me how to monitor VCCIO and SA Voltage on this board. These voltages are not showing up in AIDA or HWMonitor???
well i have i7 6700k paired with z270 x gaming 7, should i stick to this setup for some time or should get myself the new 8th gen system.
If it's not overclocked you can overclock it if it gets a bit slow. I'd stick with it if you don't need an upgrade.
A board of this size nd oomph should have more IO, especially more rear USB ports. Wireless options should also be present.
how did you get it to light up without plugging the 24 pin
that little cable connected to the motherboard at the bottom left provides power to just the LEDs
Now are they selling this board with optane equiped Mutch cheaper then the hero and for me is having optane really a must have, I dont like to pay heavy money for renting an enterprise cloud, I need to upgrade my computer, your performance there is unbelievable for me I have got a score of 250 in cinebench r15 :(
Review the board again please!!! New BIOS and compare please! I love the board but not sure if I should buy!
Don't bother, a £120 Asus Prime is better, a cheaper gaming 3 or Ultra is as good.
RMAing my Gaming 7 Monday.
I was gonna buy this mobo but after hearing your thoughts about the bios i started hesitating idk what to do now
Jack johnson the bios will get fixed. I would buy it. Definitely the best looking board and good value for money
crafty786 A bit too late im afraid lol i just went with the MSI Z370 Gaming M5 i liked the gun metal black look and minimalistic design i also really liked its price coming in at 199$ I've also done some research and saw that people were able to overlook the 8700k to 5.0Ghz while using it which was the most important aspect for me.
Jack johnson fair enough no worries man make some great motherboards too
Good choice, the Gaming 7 bios still sucks, RMA ing mine Monday to get an Apex.
tom you print the piece that runs down the side of the mother board
Hello! I want to buy GIGABYTE AORUS Z370 Gaming 7. But as I understand, this motherboard does not support all kinds of DDR4. I now want to buy one set of these two:
1. Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro Weiß 16GB DDR4 Kit (CMW16GX4M2C3000C15W).
2. Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB DDR4 Kit weiß 3600 CL18 (2x8GB) (CMW16GX4M2C3600C18W).
Tell me, will they work?
Ислам Шипиев yes they will bro . Thats wat i have . 2 8gig corsair vengance ddr4 .. works like a fukin beast
Please I want to know if I can pair either i5 9400f or i5 9600k with the motherboard
I just payed $180 for it so I think it was a pretty damn good deal, I sent my gaming 5 back because the box looked like somebody punched a hole through it and got the 7. Was thinking of going asus but the deal was too good.
does enyone runs 9th gen i7 THE COMPATIBILITY LIST SAID IT WORKS
An easier buy these days now that this and the Hero are routinely sold for the same price.
How's the audio compared to the hero?
Would it fit a grey-silver theme build ?
I bought the 8700k but I am unsure which motherboard to get. I have a TPLINK AC1900 Archer T9E so I dont need the Wifi capability.. What do you recommend? Please help!
How much do you want to spend? What do you want to do?
Asus TUF or Prime will do a decent overclock and have enough features for most people for a lot less money and a much better bios.
Are amd ryzen 3rd gen processors compatible for this board?
Does it have the 100C+ VRM issues ?
VRM 60c with 8700k @ 5ghz and Dark Rock 4 Pro after 25 min of AIDA64
Would this motherboard work with the i7-9700k???
It will support up to 9900k, so long as you're on BIOS F13 (I personally avoiding going any further than this because the meltdown/spectre microcode updates hinder performance by a large percent and no one in a realistic sense has ever been affected by it). If you experience any thermal issues with the VRM, you may need to add thicker jelly pads that are usually under the heatsink because they aren't making full contact (a rare issue on some boards).
Whats the Dif between this one and the 5?
Does this mean i can go back to gigabyte board. As was scared as reviews on the vram where outstandingly hight.
paul gwilt i just built my new pc with this gaming 7 MB and is beast bro ... i7 .1080 ti .. is solid .
This model has decent vrm setup. All lower models are sketchy
£200 is about right, i am disappointing the a G7 still has no wifi and those two missing m2 shields.
The x399 G7 was one of the nicest boards I've ever seen it looked very "complete", the price as per usual messed it all up and that's why i don't have one.
im really not sure what to do... i just think that asus these days is just hard on marketing and so gimicky ... Gigabyte looks like a more confident brand ... but thats just my opinion and still im not sure is it better than maximus x hero but going to get aorus z370 gaming 7 anyway
Do You think CORSAIR Hydro Series™ H115i PRO RGB 280mm Liquid CPU Cooler will fit ?
Yes
A fan for the caps? Now that'a a good idea! I'll bet Asus are kicking themselves.
Skylake=Kaby Lake (with higher clocks)=Coffee lake (with 2 extra cores): Same CPUs for 3 "generations"! Essentially Intel gave us what they should have given us a couple of years back with Skylake
Are you copying this comment ? God I have seen it in Jayztwocents, Linus Tech Tips, Bitwit and PCMR. it's getting rather annoying, you could at least be yourself and get creative by posting your own opinion. Oh wait, probably you are just a fanboy and won't be able to give any constructive input because you don't know jackshit. GG.
i have a x99 ud4 mobo in the box might selll it is it true that baored cant handle a 1tb samsung 960 evo m.2 it only handels 10gb of that m.2 cant use full 1tb
Hero x it is today for me then great video thanks
help post...
1} Asus TUF Z370-PLUS GAMING
2)Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Gaming 3
3}Gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra gaming
who is batter mobo ....my prossesor is i5 8400...
I'd go with the TUF or whichever is cheapest, you won't be able to overclock that CPU anyway.
