We spent more time with the Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7 for the simple reason that it's such an amazing board at such an amazing price. Now we are talking the second most feature filled board in GIGABYTES lineup and it is based on the Z170 Intel chipset, That...

To describe the Z170X-Gaming 7 simply as “good” would be inadequate and a disservice to Gigabyte. For $219.99, it shames so much of its competitors compared to what they offer at that price range. Even if there was no LED on the IO shield or audio path, t...
The GIGABYTE G1 Gaming series has joined the likes of others in the market with boards targeted at the ever growing and loyal gaming crowd. With a ‘nothing less than the best' attitude in the Z170X G1, or mid-range models like the Gaming 7 or Gaming 5...

Stunning aesthetics, Great performance all-round, mostly in the upper 50% of the results, Custom audio amplifiers for that individual touch, Comprehensive list of features
RAM overclocking isn't as good as some other boards, but XMP works perfectly
Is the all new range of GIGABYTE motherboards that are based on the Z170 platform on to a winner, or not so much? Based on what I've observed whilst I had this motherboard on the testbed and while I was playing around with it, I have come to my conclusion...
