should I buy gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra Gaming Intel Z370 ?

[cjbagnall]

I really like the look of the gigabyte Z370 AORUS Ultra, it has everything I want from a motherboard in my budget, but with all the reports of VRM temperature problems I was wondering if any owners of this board have had any problems or would recommend it. It would be paired with and i7 8700k which I would overclock and would be used mainly for gaming.

Also how well does the fan control software work? Thanks.

Thanks for the replys guys, I ended up paying a little more and getting the Asus strix z370-e, as a friend of mine has one which he loves, and the included wifi and Bluetooth will be very nice for me.

was it worth it to go from your 3770k to 8700k?

I went for the i5 8600k instead (overclocks like a beast). Day to day tasks are no different, but I moved up to 1440p gaming a short while back and my minimum fps in almost all the games I've tried so far are way better, with the average fps pretty much the same. Was it worth it? probably not, but I'm upgrading my gtx1070 soon also which might make it more worth while. But sometimes you just have to scratch that itch.
