Gigabyte has introduced the Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming motherboard, intended exclusively for Kaby Lake-X processors, eliminating unnecessary extras to offer a quality and economical solution.

The family of professional processors, Intel Basins Falls, encompasses processors of two architectures Kaby Lake-X and Skylake-X. The Skylake-X have a large number of lines and have support for Quad Channel, but the Kaby Lake-X are much more limited in terms of PCIe lines and support for Dual Channel, being quite close to the Kaby Lake for gaming, even may consider gaming processors. Investing more than € 350 in a motherboard for these processors is a bit absurd and that is why Gigabyte has presented a simpler motherboard, which will have a more affordable price and has called it the Gigabyte X299 Aorus Gaming.

This new Gigabyte X299 Aorus Gaming motherboard, as we said, is a fairly cut model compared to Intel's HEDT processors. Gigabyte has removed the vast majority of surface rhinestones, such as the shields on the DDR4 DIMM sockets and the PCIe x16 sockets, four unnecessary DIMM sockets have been eliminated and the power phases have also been reduced, the design has also been lowered , to make it much more sober and only has two M.2 SSD units for storage units.

These modifications what they do is limit this Gigabyte X299 AORUS Gaming motherboard for Intel Kaby Lake-X processors, exclusively, making it incompatible for Skylake-X processors, offering a more attractive price in comparison, if we compare them with those of the competition. These Kaby Lake-X processors can be optimal for gaming and beyond being a good solution for overclocking. The most important counterpart is that these processors do not have integrated graphics and if we had a problem with the graphics, we would be left with the equipment temporarily disabled.
