We are coming to the end of this test, and Gigabyte is hitting hard in the mainstream motherboard range. The motherboard tested here is very powerful for overclocking at a price more than twice lower than motherboards intended for this exercise. However, the board has some shortcomings and for users who don’t want to touch overclocking, it would not be the wisest choice. These main weaknesses would be its connectivity with its outdated sound card and the Realtek network card. However I think that for the informed gamer who will read this article, the gain on the memory in 1 click and its attractive overclocking capabilities make it a very good choice for a gaming use. You may have to switch to wireless headphones or an external DAC. For gaming, the latency of the Wi-Fi 6E works wonders and it’s been a long time since I plugged an Ethernet cable.
At about $259.99, this Z790 Aorus Elite offers a complete solution for those who want a powerful gamer PC at a lower cost or to try overclocking.
