GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS XTREME – TweakTown

by

In testing, the AORUS and Hero were consistently at the top of our charts, with the Xtreme taking more of the CPU-designed testing like PCMark and CrossMark, where the Hero was a bit better in 3DMark. In real-world gaming, both of these boards performed identically. Storage performance was a bit lower, 10 MB/s for the Xtreme vs. the Hero, but USB 3.2, SATA, and the like were all on point.

GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS PRO – GAME IT

by

To cool this power system we find a huge heatsink that has twice the dissipation surface of its predecessors, heatsinks that conform to the design of the MOSFET to increase the thermal efficiency of the heatsink and improve airflow and heat exchange. This increase in thermal performance is due to the main heatsink has been manufactured in one piece and implements several air inlets that improve the cooling of the assembly and greater efficiency in the dissipation of the heat produced by the board power system. To top all this off, is also implemented.

GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS XTREME – GinjFo

by

It’s full Black dress consists of several heat sinks, one of which, equipped with two heat pipes, tackles the cooling of an M.2 SSD. We also have an imposing radiator with thin aluminum fins around the socket or a back plate occupying almost the entire surface of the PCB.

This Z690 Aorus XTREME is aimed at gamers, overclocking enthusiasts or enthusiasts looking to assemble an ultimate configuration. Through its Z690 Aorus Xtreme, Gigabyte offers all its know-how in terms of high-end motherboard. Its link with Aorus directs it to the gaming segment but it is armed with a whole arsenal to meet many other needs. We can mention overclocking or creation.

GIGABYTE Z590 VISION G – NikKTech

by

The Z590 Vision G may not be aimed towards gamers and overclockers but that doesn’t mean GIGABYTE has left things to chance. So, this time over we see a 13 phase digital VRM design (cooled by their direct-touch heatpipe and fins-array cooling solution), 4 DDR4 DIMM slots (dual-channel configuration – 128GB total supported with speeds up to 4800MHz), 3 full-length (PCIe 4.0 x16/PCIe 3.0 x4/x4 – top is EMI shielded and reinforced), 4 M.2 SSD slots (3xGen4x4/1xGen3x4) complete with thermal guard heatsinks, 6 native SATA 6Gb/s ports (with RAID 0/1/5/10 support), Realtek ALC4080 audio codec, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, VisionLINK output, 5 RGB headers and a Thunderbolt add-in connector (extra TB card required to use this).

GIGABYTE Z690 AORUS XTREME – OC3D

by

The peak of the Gigabyte range is their Aorus Xtreme. A motherboard which causes our fingers no end of grief as we automatically type extreme. It does smack of the Monster energy world, but hey perhaps we’re just out of the loop of what counts as “hey fellow kids”. However, the important thing is what lays behind the name, and Gigabyte have thrown the kitchen sink at the Aorus Xtreme, from lighting to PCB design and connection format. We’ll let you peruse the specifications and show you the motherboard in our usual high detail on the next few pages.

GIGABYTE Z690M DS3H DDR4 – Budget Z690 w/DDR4, PCIe 4.0

by

To keep the board more focused on budget builders, the DS3H also comes with DDR4 support instead of DDR5. This is optimal since DDR5 is both very expensive and very difficult to find right now.

For connectivity, the DS3H DDR4 comes with a single PCIe Gen 4 x16 slot and two PCIe 3.0 x1 slots, along with dual Gen 4.0 M.2 slots for high-speed storage. The rear I/O consists of three USB 3.0 ports, a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 2.0 ports, and four display outputs including VGA, HDMI and two DisplayPort connections.
