It is becoming a bit of a running theme for our X299 reviews to full of results so closely matched that we struggle to separate the various motherboards from each other. Even when, as we saw with the MSI Carbon and repeat here with the Gigabyte Aorus Gami...

Solid CPU Overclocking, Upscale WiFi and secondary Ethernet controllers, Upscale audio components, Elaborate, fullyfunctional RGB lighting, Extra M.2 and fourlane PCIe slot
Extra M.2 and PCIe slot share lanes, No 0x AVX offset available on published firmware, Mediocre memory overclocking, Poor energy efficiency
Had the X299 Aorus Gaming 7 included a Thunderbolt 3 controller, it would have easily won a higher award. Were we more concerned with energy efficiency, the X299 Aorus Gaming 7 wouldn't have won any award. The X299 Aorus Gaming 7's upscale components...

The GIGABYTE X299-Aorus Gaming 7 PRO has a few upgrades over the X299 Aorus Gaming 7, but also some downgrades. For starters, the VRM and VRM heat sinks on the Pro are both clearly better and can easily handle Intel's HCC CPUs, and all the M.2 slots get H...
The GIGABYTE X299-AORUS Gaming 7 has to be one of my favorite motherboards, and while it's extremely high price might seem counter intuitive to most people, no X299 motherboard is cheap. At $100 less than its big brother, it really offers competitive perf...

Eighten X299-motherboards later we can at least conclude that we have not come across a single motherboard that is truly bad. What this means is that you can build a properly working and high performing system based on every tested board. Considering the...

Exuberant PCIe, M.2, SATA and USB connectivtiy, Plentiful networking options, Bright and easily customisable LEDs, Effective M.2 cooling solution, Ample fan headers, Strong CPU VRM and cooling
Electrical coil whine, No isolated audio PCB
The X299 platform has impressive potential when a high-end motherboard and CPU combination are chosen. Gigabyte's X299 Aorus Gaming 7 and an Intel Core i9 offer exactly that, it would be a mismatch to pair a motherboard of this stature with anything less...
