Pros
- The build quality is superb it's not how some manufactures just say that they have a great product with amazing quality to hook you, this motherboard is really built with care.
- Installing the drivers was very easy, the motherboard is very windows 10 friendly. We did not test any other OS.
- Let’s retouch on build quality, I have motherboards that are over 400+ dollars that can’t hold the weight of some of my graphics cards. This motherboard has metal built into the pci slots to give it some great strength.
- Software wise the motherboard software barely brings any useless bloatware, everything works well, the software is just an extra like to over clock and such. Really, I didn’t find any bloatware installed when installing the motherboard app center.
- I do really enjoy the RGB settings available on the motherboard there is one con which will be listed. I found it easy to sync the motherboard lighting with the Aorus graphics card lighting since they are from the same family of products.
Cons
- The Aorus Fusion team will need to work on making other companies RGB hardware like RAM from G.Skill compatible, so you can sync everything together with ease. I chose to set my G.Skill RGB to a set color to avoid it looking out of sync.
- At this price point if 2 more USB 3.0 were included it would be perfect but really it’s only a small con.
I do have a couple notes and issues, though.
Notes:
The mouse speed can be altered in the BIOS. It's too slow to be usable until you set it to max. Also, the M.2 slot nearest the CPU cannibalizes two SATA ports when using an NVMe drive. I didn't realize that at first, but this is the first time I've used M.2 on a new build (I'm learning!).
Issues:
When using a PS/2 keyboard, it would initialize on POST (flash the LEDs and set num lock ON), but it wouldn't react to keystrokes. If I unplugged/plugged the keyboard I could CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot ( hadn't installed the OS yet), but the same thing would happen again. I'll probably just need to troubleshoot it further, but I was kind of bummed I couldn't use the PS/2 port, which frees up a USB port.
The big issue is with all CPU settings set to Auto (i.e. factory settings), the vcore for my 7700K was set to 1.39 V at idle and 1.5 V under load. I didn't realize this until I did a Prime95 test and the temps went immediately to 100C (with liquid cooling) with the CPU speed throttled back. I about had a heart attack! After manually setting the vcore to 1.25, the temps were back to normal-ish under load (71C).
All-in-all it's a pretty dang nice motherboard with a few minor issues. It looks like Gigabyte already has a beta bios update available that deals with the voltage issue, so I imagine that will be fixed in the next "official" bios update. And I'm sure the PS/2 thing is just me being impatient after not finding an obvious answer. It's probably something easy and dumb.
************
Edit: 2019
Gigabyte updated their software several times and this last update did the trick for me, it performs as expected now thanks

Hacer overclocking está chupado.
y lo mejor es que se puede poner a 5 Giga ercicios.
y no se estropea nada.
