Z390 - Gigabyte/Aorus - Xtreme Waterforce

Just ordered a Aorus Z390 Pro from elsewhere for a cracking price. It was that or the Asrock Extreme 4 so I hope I have made the right choice.

Design wise yes, hopefully bios well improve as well, believe the new Easy View layout isn't on release Bios but on the newer releases , advanced is still the same

Believe builzoid has actual pro and master boards , Gigabyte sent images of ITX and Xtreme it seems .
Will see bigger push their from Gigabyte with him self ... Learning to get such people on board is key

The Aorus range looks so well done in terms of VRM. I like the extras that come with the Xtreme too.

Was like on Newegg for about 30 mins before seller out in US.

Not sure if @GIGA-Man or @Gibbo can lend an idea

Defiant306 · 21 Nov 2018 at 16:12

Yeah I would like to know as well, any info @GIGA-Man or @Gibbo ???

Just copied tamzzy post... Damn.. covering all bases ...
Just need the OC board without the fancy stuff of the master and Xtreme and 2 Dimm design to go for records..

buildzoid on the z390 range. looks like gigabyte takes most of the wins this round.

Good to see buildzoid confirm what I've been saying about the mem OC limitations on the Pro board.

UK review of Xtreme , must be soon for UK release then @GIGA-Man ?

https://www.vortez.net/articles_pages/gigabyte_z390_aorus_xtreme_review,1.html

seems like with this board, you'll be paying for the price of a binned chip at 5.2ghz +

Distracted · 27 Nov 2018 at 14:12

I want to see him look at the evga dark.

I've seen one questionable video of it plus comments about it on reddit that it let the owner take their oc to 5.4ghz or something like that.

If it is as good as the hype says it will be a great board for overclocking.

Of course there's no way to tell while it is nowhere to be seen.

a lot of issues I see, max chips are getting is 5.2ghz on budget Gigabyte boards, to asus midrange to MSI/Aorus £500 killers .

Think if a reviewer is going to do expesnive boards like this, they should be using chips they know can hit above standard and binned and most likely delid and lapped .
though did like the review of someone running the Xtreme without heatsinks on at 5ghz haha .

Dark should give Apex run for money ! whilst Xtreme and Master are good... they need the Gigabyte SOC boards of past in the middle... just 2 dimm and no features and just VRM to match the dark and apex. they did with the Z370 SOC but didnt release for public.

Defiant306 · 27 Nov 2018 at 21:53

£630 for the Xtreme!!!!!!!! :eek:

Yeah I'm out, I might have been able swallow £500 sheets but not that much.

GIGA-Man · 29 Nov 2018 at 12:38

Sorry for the slow answer here... I will make sure to point this thread out to the product managers... I also agree the OC board with reduced features is missed.

Defiant306 · 5 Dec 2018 at 17:38

Any update @GIGA-Man on the Xtreme or the Designare?

orbitalwalsh · 11 Dec 2018 at 10:04

Xtreme just got wet

https://wccftech.com/z390-aorus-xtreme-waterforce-liquid-cooling-motherboard-launch/

dont expect this to come to UK market though

Defiant306 · 11 Dec 2018 at 22:17

Wicked looking block, shame. I could import the board from Israel but no warranty so its a no.

Bought a ASRock instead since it also has 10GB NIC as well

Good going Gigabyte, you missed a sale.

If I had known this was coming i wouldn't have bought the maximus formula!

@GIGA-Man fancy sending me one for a sponsored 9900k build log?

Looks gorgeous! Would go nicely with my Aorus 1080 ti. The waterforce 2080 ti would be a stunning match as well.

GIGA-Man · 13 Dec 2018 at 09:21

Hello all,

Taking my GIGABYTE hat off for a moment...... Yeah that is a very nice looking board, probably one of the best looking MB GIGABYTE have ever created.

Hat back on.... It will come to the UK but in very, very limited numbers. I am waiting for final confirmation on the price but I can tell you all now, it's not cheap.

I will be arranging a build video with a media house in the New year, plan to use this and a 2080ti Water Force...

Any ETA on normal version and Designare ?

GIGA-Man · 13 Dec 2018 at 09:31

I would think, late Jan, not confirmed yet though.
