GIGABYTE Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 Motherboard Review (Page 1)
GIGABYTE's Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 motherboard manages to impress for its price and features. Join us as we thoroughly investigate it.
Introduction
We recently took a look at GIGABYTE's AORUS Gaming 7 for the Z370 platform, and today we will look at its little brother, the Z370 AORUS Gaming 5. The Gaming 5 has fewer features than the Gaming 7 but also costs about $30 less. Saying it has fewer features isn't the whole story though, as the Gaming 7 has two Gbit NICs, the Gaming 5 drops one of those for a WIFI controller.
While the two motherboards have the same look from afar, if we look closer we see some other differences in areas from USB to the VRM, so today we will dive deep into the Gaming 5 and see what it has to offer.
Specifications
The Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 offers three M.2 slots, USB 3.1 on the rear IO, Wireless AC, Intel Gbit LAN, USB 3.0, and SATA6Gb/s.
Pricing
The Z370 AORUS Gaming 5 costs $169.99.
