The motherboard with ATX format and dimensions 30.5 x 24.4 cms is part of the medium-high range of Gigabyte. The predominant color of the same is black with gray screen printing as well as the heatsinks of the chipset and one of the VRM. On the other hand, the protector of external connections that in turn combines with the larger heatsink of the VRM arrives in black.

In testing, the AORUS and Hero were consistently at the top of our charts, with the Xtreme taking more of the CPU-designed testing like PCMark and CrossMark, where the Hero was a bit better in 3DMark. In real-world gaming, both of these boards performed identically. Storage performance was a bit lower, 10 MB/s for the Xtreme vs. the Hero, but USB 3.2, SATA, and the like were all on point.

To cool this power system we find a huge heatsink that has twice the dissipation surface of its predecessors, heatsinks that conform to the design of the MOSFET to increase the thermal efficiency of the heatsink and improve airflow and heat exchange. This increase in thermal performance is due to the main heatsink has been manufactured in one piece and implements several air inlets that improve the cooling of the assembly and greater efficiency in the dissipation of the heat produced by the board power system. To top all this off, is also implemented.

It’s full Black dress consists of several heat sinks, one of which, equipped with two heat pipes, tackles the cooling of an M.2 SSD. We also have an imposing radiator with thin aluminum fins around the socket or a back plate occupying almost the entire surface of the PCB.
This Z690 Aorus XTREME is aimed at gamers, overclocking enthusiasts or enthusiasts looking to assemble an ultimate configuration. Through its Z690 Aorus Xtreme, Gigabyte offers all its know-how in terms of high-end motherboard. Its link with Aorus directs it to the gaming segment but it is armed with a whole arsenal to meet many other needs. We can mention overclocking or creation.

The Z590 Vision G may not be aimed towards gamers and overclockers but that doesn’t mean GIGABYTE has left things to chance. So, this time over we see a 13 phase digital VRM design (cooled by their direct-touch heatpipe and fins-array cooling solution), 4 DDR4 DIMM slots (dual-channel configuration – 128GB total supported with speeds up to 4800MHz), 3 full-length (PCIe 4.0 x16/PCIe 3.0 x4/x4 – top is EMI shielded and reinforced), 4 M.2 SSD slots (3xGen4x4/1xGen3x4) complete with thermal guard heatsinks, 6 native SATA 6Gb/s ports (with RAID 0/1/5/10 support), Realtek ALC4080 audio codec, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, VisionLINK output, 5 RGB headers and a Thunderbolt add-in connector (extra TB card required to use this).

The peak of the Gigabyte range is their Aorus Xtreme. A motherboard which causes our fingers no end of grief as we automatically type extreme. It does smack of the Monster energy world, but hey perhaps we’re just out of the loop of what counts as “hey fellow kids”. However, the important thing is what lays behind the name, and Gigabyte have thrown the kitchen sink at the Aorus Xtreme, from lighting to PCB design and connection format. We’ll let you peruse the specifications and show you the motherboard in our usual high detail on the next few pages.

The Gigabyte Z690 AERO G maintains a good aesthetic level, but obviously it is not as forceful as it happens with the most powerful gaming models. In fact, it has been improved a lot compared to the Z590, as we see more presence of metallic elements such as the cover and heatsinks already in all the M.2 slots.
