Z390 AORUS MASTER (Intel LGA1151/Z390/ATX/3xM.2 Thermal Guard/Onboard AC Wi-Fi/ESS Sabre DAC/Gaming Motherboard)

I work in IT and built up 6 stream boxes with some very nasty hardware inside: 9700k, 32GB ram, RTX 2080 Super, Black Magic 4K Extreme 12G, Corsair H80i V2, etc. These are the core components. We use these for VR testing, gaming, and pushing out live streams across our network at a fortune 25 company. We have taxed this board like crazy and not one has had a hiccup. It's an easy board to build on, has a plethora of USB connections, including DAC, and has all the options you need. Not one freeze, not one blue screen, nothing. We couldn't be happier with this Gigabyte board. I first built these systems using the MSI MPG Z390 Pro Carbon AC, and 4 of the 6 had frequent lock up's, freezing, and blue screen reboots. (All with the EXACT same hardware.) I love MSI boards and have used many over the years, but these systems need to handle live events and cannot have issues while in use. Yes, MSI is aware of this flaw, and will eventually send out a BIOS update to fix this problem. But we couldn't wait for that to happen so I ordered a couple of this Gigabyte board to test and they were rock solid. I have since ordered 4 more and swapped out that MSI board in every StreamBox. The BIOS on this board is great once you learn how to navigate things. You have access to any option you need and if you like to over clock things, look no further. They make squeezing out that extra bit of power a very simple thing. Buy this board and don't look back. You will be future proofed for many, many years.

I purchased this for a new computer build and it is great! I couldn’t be any happier. The IO connections on the rear are exactly what you need and nothing that you don’t (sorry PS2 connector). I really like how Gigabyte answers the (sadly) ever present problem of forgetting to put the IO shield in before installing the MB. The IO shield is already installed in the MB and you just have to hook it in place carefully by angling the MB as you position it. One side clips in (inaudible) and the other does not. Super easy! The RGB included are a nice touch, but not overdone (bad only if you want a ton of RGB on your MB). Everything about this MB is amazing. It has a nearly full shield/support on the back to strengthen it. The M.2 heat sinks are very classy (I suppose the work well, too). And the clips on the PCEi slots and RAM are crisp, they don’t feel brittle. I might like 1 more USB 2.0 port (I know, I know, how backwards of me), just for various control and monitoring features. 10/10 would buy this again!

Awesome board paired with 9900k and rtx 2080 super. The rgb is subtle and doesnt over power the rest of the rgb you might have. I will say, this motherboard looks amazing with an rtx founders edition card due to them being the same color. As well as the g skill trident and castle 360mm aio cooler also being the same brushed steel color. Board has straight forward bios, easy to navigate and overclock. Loads of crazy features that dont know about. 6 system fans, 2x8 pin cpu power, tons of nvme slots. Not used to having a board so nice.

I was looking for good motherboard for my new i9900k and I end up buying this one but had many doubts after reading many review. People having so much problems and all It was scary but I needed a motherboard and not much other players to choose from So I did it and im happy. Had zero problems, board works, everything works. Easy overclock to 5GHz so everything great. But I have one issue and its with USB 3.1 gen2 which this board have on the back. RED ports which support up to 10gbps speeds but so far I couldn't reach that. 10gbps roughly should give you max of 1.2GB/s speed but for me I can achieve no more than 350MB/s and yet the same usb device can reach 1GB/s on other computer with similar port. SO not sure what's wrong here but having 10gbps port and not be able to use it is just sad. I contacted Gigabyte for help, let see what's gonna happen

Got lucky with no defects. Performs really well. Streaming quality will not be as good as a MSI or Asus boards. It will fit in any custom case you buy unlike Asus Z390 motherboards. You don't need to use both 4pin connectors for the motherboard. Yes the bios menu is nothing fancy. This will only matter to..... no one. Cause no one spends time in the bios menu. Bios menu is plain and simple. Overall worth your money. Comes with everything a motherboard should have for any serious customer. Don't settle for less at this price range.

nothing to dislike on this board. I upgraded my i5 system to i7 and new ram as well. i connected my ssd which had windows on it. i couldn't believe it. once i had all the wires connected and the system set itself up and ran like a powerhouse. it was a super easy swap, my system is easily 2x as powerful now. even games running on ultra, my cpu/gpu is only in the 80% range. i use 3440x1440, gsync, v sync and cap frames at 60 on maxed out settings. no problems. for those that are wondering about PUBG lag, its CPU lag, the i5 is trash for that game.

Bought this for use with the Intel i9-9900k. So far a solid and very pretty motherboard. My one complaint so far is that the G.Skill Trident Z RGB memory modules cannot have their RGB individually controlled by the G.Skill software and instead get stolen by the Gigabyte software. I've tried a few solutions I've found online for this to no avail so far. I chose this board for the excellent power delivery and fin heatsink on the power delivery.

So i used this to upgrade from an MSI Z97 gaming board that gave me numerous headaches. I would have constant driver corruption, BSOD, and numerous other issues that after 2 years of constantly using software fixes only to finally start replacing hardware. After a while I finally gave in and upgraded to this board plus i7-9700 to find out the issue where all related to the MSI. Several months and continuous use, my home built system has had 0 crashes, 0 BSOD , and 0 problems related to drivers alluding me to believer 100 percent the fault lay with the first and last MSI board I will ever use. Sadly I have an MSI graphics card that works wonderfully that is still being used in this system. So far I do not use all the bells and whistles this MB comes with but I have used several Gigabyte boards in the past and they have never let me down. Even the 1 time I had gotten a bad one the company replaced the board without question when I mentioned to the over the phone tech that I had discovered a shorted bus pathing manufactured into the board. So I would highly recommend this brand not only for the tech service and reliability but it has one of the best price points for a MB of this style. My pc now starts up in a matter of seconds and I couldn't be happier with the reliability of using my home built system without worry of losing progress to a BSOD that I had been blaming on Windows.

Excellent Motherboard that is plug and play pretty much, recognized my 9900Ks/RTX 2080 Xtreme WB with no issues. PWM contacts are incredibly sturdy. VRM temps low compared to competitors is a bonus. Can control 4 zones on the board for lighting effects with fusion 2.0. Tons of included cords and wifi is a bonus but no needed if your using an Ethernet connection(nice extra). I reviewed all the boards in this price range. This one clearly comes on top. Would highly recommend !

La mejor tarjeta madre que he tenido. El VRM (Voltage Regulating Module) es fantástico con 12 fases y un disipador de calor excelente. Las conexiones de control de ventiladores con completamente programables sin restricciones, los disipadores de calor para los NVME son eficaces y el sistema IO ofrece opciones dinámicas y amplias. También tiene un disipador de calor en la parte trasera de la tarjeta. Adicionalmente tiene una antena externa para WiFi que ofrece buenas velocidades (no lo he probado a detalle). Adicionalmente, aunque quizás sin tanta importancia el sistema RGB integrado es agradable y flexible usando el programa dedicado.

動画編集など負荷をかける処理をさせるのに、少し高めですがケチらずこちらを買いました。 オーバークロックをかけても、電圧が安定しています。 ヒートシンクとヒートパイプもしっかりしていて、安いオマケみたいなのと違いきちんと冷えます。 買って良かったです。

I've just received my orders today from UPS and found that motherboard box cover is cracked open. I'm have not installed/tested it yet. Hope the damaged box cover will not effect the motherboard's function. Very disappointed with this order.

Fantastic mobo...thnks to Space earth
