Eight generation Core dedicated Z370 motherboard starting: armor is too handsome

[PConline Unboxing] With the release of Intel's 8th Gen Core CPUs, the corresponding flagship motherboard chipset has also evolved from Z270 to Z370. Major manufacturers have all launched their new models for the first time, eager to grab the best resources and make a strong impression. This is not only an opportunity for them to showcase their design and engineering skills but also a platform to demonstrate their R&D capabilities and brand strength.

This time, due to NDA restrictions, we are giving away a Gigabyte Z370 AORUS GAMING 7 motherboard straight out of the box. If you're familiar with Gigabyte’s naming conventions, you know that the "GAMING" suffix indicates performance, with higher numbers meaning more advanced features. The top-tier model is usually the GAMING 9, followed by the GAMING 7, so this one is definitely high-end.

Unboxing: Steel Meets Style

Gigabyte's latest design really caught my eye. The I/O shield and south bridge heat sink have a bold, armored look, giving off a strong mechanical and futuristic vibe. It’s like a robot in steel armor—very cool.


CPU Power Module Cooling Fins

The thermal coverage on the power section feels solid and well-constructed. You can tell it's built to last.


AORUS South Bridge Heat Sink

Gigabyte’s AORUS branding is becoming more recognizable. Beyond just quality, the design has improved significantly over the years.


PCIe Slot

Thanks to the 16 lanes provided by the CPU, the Z370 chipset supports up to 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, offering excellent expansion potential.


M.2 SSD Radiator Armor

Even the M.2 heatsink has a nice texture and feel. It looks good and functions well.


Remove Armor

This armor helps dissipate heat from the M.2 SSDs, which are known for generating a lot of heat when running at high speeds. The board comes with three M.2 slots, making it easy to add storage as needed.


6× SATA 3.0 Interfaces


I/O Panel

With the 8th Gen Core CPUs now supporting integrated graphics, the motherboard includes display output ports. It also features dual network cards (Intel and Killer), multiple USB ports, and even USB 3.1 support, keeping up with modern standards.

The "Steel Armor" Design:


Memory Slots

The memory slots still support four-channel DDR4, and since the board is overclocking-friendly, you can push the memory frequency higher if you pair it with a K-series CPU like the 8700K or 8600K.


CPU Power Supply Module

While Intel claims that the 8th Gen Core requires more power from the motherboard, this is mainly relevant for budget boards. High-end models like the AORUS GAMING 7 are built with premium materials that handle power demands effortlessly.


Front Panel USB 3.1 Port

Next to the iconic RGB LED strip, you can customize lighting effects using 3D-printed panels for a more personalized look.


AMP-UP AUDIO

Lighting Effects:

Using Gigabyte's RGB Fusion software, you can control the lighting on the motherboard. Paired with a GTX 1080 Ti Firefly GPU, it creates a truly immersive experience.

As the full review is still under NDA, we'll have more detailed insights available after October 5th. If you're interested in the Gigabyte AORUS line, be sure to check back on PConline for the full evaluation soon.
