Homerun for Gigabyte/AORUS

First I just want to say that this board is great. Probably the nicest mobo I've ever had. Convenient right-facing connector/port layout allows you to tuck away cables and keep your case clean with minimal fuss. I haven't spent a lot of time testing it, but I can say that the VRMs on this thing are tasteless and the components stay pretty cool during use. My only suggestion is to add more USB ports to the I/O panel. Other than that I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend this board to all prospective owners.

Pros
