The Z370 AORUS Gaming 7 features some reworked RGB LED features compared to the Z270 Gaming 7. For starters, the included accent strip features a new style, and it can be replaced.

The same goes for the PCH overlay, which can be replaced with other styles. The PCI-E slots get RGBs, just like GIGABYTE's X299 boards. The VRM and IO shield also get new styles and move away from RGBs-in-you-face in the VRM area.
