Review on ๐ŸŽฎ GIGABYTE Z490 AORUS Elite: High-Performance ATX Gaming Motherboard with Advanced Features by Jeremy Sabey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great board for enthusiasts at a great price.

GREAT BOARD! No problem, posted the first attempt. Vcore is very stable when LLC is set to Turbo. 10700k @5ghz no problem, x48 ring. The VRM doesn't seem to sweat, rarely reaching 64c. Plenty of USB ports, built in I/O shielding, very happy with the included m.2 heatsinks. The bios layout is good. The included features are great at this price point, and the board is very stable and easy to use, even during memory overclocks. It's easy to add a clear CMOS switch, although I only had to use it once lol. At first I felt like I would have bet the Elite z490 over the extreme or mainstream options, but now I know I made the right choice for my needs, this board does what I was hoping for and that for a good price! TY Aorus for providing an enthusiast-level VRM at a lower price!

Pros
  • 2 x M.2 AORUS Thermal Protection
Cons
  • Protection
