Is there a table or diagram that can explain the key differences between the K7, K5 and Gaming 5?

You can compare on the Gigabyte site

Looks like the Gaming 5 has a stronger VRM than the K5 see

Gaming K5 PCB (http://static.gigabyte.com/Product/2/6228/2017030616220250.png)

So trade off between better VRM and BCLK ?

Do we know if / when OCUK will be stocking the K5 ?

Do you know if the k7 has xmp I don't think it does?

AllBodies · 9 Apr 2017 at 16:37

In the current BIOSes at least, both the Gaming 5 and K7 have XMP for the RAM yeah.

Seriously contemplating changing from the K7 to the Gaming 5. Apparently mass stock not expected until 24th April according to Gigabyte UK. I was an early orderer too

seems the Gaming K5 isnt for the EU market which is a shame

Vakas · 11 Apr 2017 at 13:44

I have seen a few places that have stock of the K5

FirebarUK · 11 Apr 2017 at 14:14

Found somewhere which had K7 stock yesterday and nabbed it quick. Arrives tomorrow, woo!

I stand corrected, Did ask Aorus but stated its not "offically sold" in the EU . Guessing they cant stop resellers from stocking it via other means.

Also noted on Pre-order and overdue with prices varying

will ask about RMA in the case for users looking at the board, guessing this is a reason why OCUK doesnt stock it

orbitalwalsh · 11 Apr 2017 at 15:47

Heads up, seems K5 will be going from a Non EU board to UK board at least, no idea when though. seems where was a big gap in pricing £116 for the Gaming 3 to £205 for the Gaming 5 so K5 would fill the bridge nicely and make sense with the Ryzen 5 chips

correction, 2 weeks time it seems.

Well... Seems its in stock at OCUK this evening

K7 and 5 back in stock

went from a non EU board to a UK board in a matter of a few hours. OCUK also guessing the right pricing. buyer has over shot and scam was way under and theres no ETA on when they are getting the board or even were from.

I have my Gaming K7 up and running. F2 BIOS was poor for memory (as expected). I'm running 2 x 8GB G.Skill Trident Z RGB (F4-3000C14D-16GTZR) and F2 would only let me boot with 1866Mhz. Running at 2933Mhz with Bios F3.
