KitGuru says: X470 Aorus Gaming 7 knocks it out of the park.

Hey guys,

Just a quick one but if you're looking at Ryzen 2 builds Leo thinks Aorus have smashed it with the Gaming 7 board and you know he's a tough one to please!

I've included the full review below for you guys to check out, but if you're after a quality board with more than just a little more RGB it's available for pre-order here

@Connor@Overclockers whens the ETA on these boards ?

Why do other retailers have stock of this but still nothing @ overclockers for ages now :confused:

I'm on a budget, so I'm going for the entry level Aorus X470 Ultra Gaming option as it does everything I require. Just need to know when it'll be in stock.

Had to order mine like few others on here from a different reseller :/
Seems they are bit more and prices creeping up .
Pretty sure I saw ultra on here before launch for £119 pre order

I'm just down the road from OcUK, so I tend to buy all my kit over the counter. After many, many bad experiences with computer parts being sent via post/courier it's the best option. It's bloody strange that they don't have them in stock though, especially when all their competitors do. I'll be popping in on Saturday to grab a new case anyway, so I'll try and see what the score is then. If I can't get a definitive answer then I'll probably, albeit grudgingly, go elsewhere.

@Connor@Overclockers any ideas as to when you'll have them in stock?

Others saying the BIOS on these boards isn't that good.

Gigabyte not the easiest to get around . Asus is slicker but there's a lot thrown at you and ASRock is nice and simple .

Seems they've learnt with z370 boards and built them with better VRM - Aorus 7 uses same IR chips as Hero and amount but same controller as Taichi but with heatsinks that work

Grabbed my case earlier https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/31806840 and asked when they'd be in stock. Guy who served me, big thanks to that fella for carrying the case to the car for me (20 mins earlier under the knife and so couldn't lift it for fear of popping the stitches), seemed to think they aren't going to stock the Gigabyte X470 boards.

@Malevolence nice case !

Seems odd, specially when they are listing pre-orders and advertising then someone saying it might not happen :/

Cheers, I was originally going to go for the Corsair 740 Air, but decided the Core X71 was better aesthetically. Plus vertical seemed to be a better option than horizontal and glass better than plastic. The X71 also has two 5.25 bays too, so I can fit a fan controller.

I agree, it does seem odd to list them on the site for pre-order if they're never going to be in stock, but hey. Anyway, I don't think they'll go bankrupt if I source it elsewhere.

Well in fairness, considering how aweful their X370 boards were Gigabyte didn't have a high bar to pass xD
