Review on 🔥 GIGABYTE X299 UD4 Pro Motherboard: Intel Core i9/ATX/2 M.2/ USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-A/ RGB Fusion - Top Performance for LGA 2066 CPUs! by Charlie Dillon

First of all, the board itself is excellent. I have two nvme drives, two aorus 1080 ti drives with RGB Aorus HB SLI bridge, 64GB RAM 3422MHz and 7900x at 4.5GHz. The hardware works perfectly. However, if you need RGB functionality, look elsewhere. RGB Fusion is terrible software. Initially, you needed two separate apps to set up all the different RGB zones. You can access the motherboard, SLI bridge and LEDs for each graphics card in the Aorus Graphics Engine application, but this application accesses all zones on the motherboard in the same way. Then you can access the motherboard, compatible RAM and graphics LEDs in the RGB Fusion app, and each zone on the motherboard can be addressed individually, but all RAM dims and graphics cards are addressed as groups and there will be no SLI bridge used. It's not an option. Now, with the latest updates, clicking anything in the Aorus Graphics Engine app will open RGB Fusion. It's a good idea to unify the RGB settings. However, it is much more limited. The SLI Bridge is nowhere to be found. My green light is on and I can't change it. And the two zones on the motherboard that can perform the function of a wave (rainbow) are not addressed separately. You can only adjust the waveform from the home screen, which disables all other zones (except the SLI bridge). If you go into the motherboard settings to address individual zones, the zones that can wavelock are set to one color (red in my case) and cannot be changed. You literally can't turn on Wavezones to have them wave other lights, and when you need other lights, Wavezones will stick when they're on (presumably what you set them to before the updates). Even my Aorus brand EK monoblock, which can make waves, is affected and cannot be addressed via the digital RGB connection. He has no options when you choose him. Stuck on red with two other wave zones. Check out the product photos. The wave zones are activated and the remaining zones are highlighted in orange. Cannot be performed in new software. You CAN sync all the components together with the same color on the main screen (except the SLI bridge. Still green), but if you choose a color cycle the RAM (at least my latest generation Corsair Vengeance RGB) will. but is not synchronized with other components. If you want a two-tone (or more) color scheme, you're out of luck unless one of the colors is one that has wavy-enabled zones glued onto it. If you want a ripple effect, say all other areas are white, you're out of luck. If you want to change the color of the SLI bridge AT ALL, you're out of luck. I contacted gigabyte support about this and they told me to install the older version from the software CD that came with my motherboard. So I can't even get the latest software before they removed the functionality. I'll do it, but I'm not happy with it. Basically, if you want to tweak the RGB to create a beautiful, aesthetically pleasing design, DO NOT buy the Aorus. If you hate RGB and turn everything off (except the SLI bridge) or can live with a single color (assuming it's the same color as the SLI bridge) then this is a great board hardware wise.
