The X470 motherboard is to be considered a high-end class solution in a wide segment of X470 series motherboards. The motherboard is still built using Gigabyte's Aorus design alright and was pimped up a bit. Gigabyte also overhauled the M2 cooling heatsink, both properly cooled! Also i am loving the new rear backplate integration,

The motherboard includes all of the standardized X470 chipset options with two M.2 SSD slots, it is SLI and Crossfire compatible as well, one x16 slot (configured as Gen 3 x16 on the first slot, the second is Gen 3 x8). The board follows standard ATX Form Factor.

The I/O panel of the X470 Gaming 7 Wifi reveals then USB 3.1 ports, one type-c connector. A Realtek ALC1220 audio codec is the source for audio which will use a few quality capacitors, used on most motherboards these days. There no PS/2 combo port for either a keyboard or mouse. You do spot two antennas for AC WIFI (Bluetooth as well) and two buttons for CMOS clear and .. a power button. The board gets one 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN controller (Intel).

The board comes with one 8-pin power connector as well as an extra 4-pin connector, don't worry you can use just a single one. There's also all kinds of LED enablement on (and under) the board as well as RGB LED strip connectors you can configure with Gigabyte software. The DIMM and PCIe Slots have LED strips, really cool looking.
