GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS GAMING 5

We recently took a look at GIGABYTE’s AORUS Gaming 7 for the Z370 platform, and today we will look at its little brother, the Z370 AORUS Gaming 5. The Gaming 5 has fewer features than the Gaming 7 but also costs about $30 less.

ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X HERO

As with its less expensive Strix boards, Asus offers two variants of the Hero with the only difference being the inclusion of onboard 802.11ac Wi-Fi for £10 more. Our model is the Wi-Fi-less version, which retails for £260, so it’s definitely one of the pricier Z370 boards out there.
