Gigabyte Aorus B360 Gaming 3 WIFI review - Product Showcase

The Gigabyte Aorus B360 Gaming 3 motherboard is to be considered the budget solution in that Cofee Lake (8th gen) series motherboard range that sits under the 119 USD range, and will likely become a sub 99 USD product once volume availability kicks in. As much as they could, Gigabyte packed it with features like DDR4 XMP support up to 2667 MHz (this is an Intel restriction), one full PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2, Realtek ALC 892 audio and an Intel Gbe LAN. The Gigabyte Aorus H370 Gaming 3 is built using their Ultra Durable standard, assuring high reliability and proper components. You can purchase a WIFI SKU, as we have received. This invokes installing a small WIFI module onto the motherboard. 

 

 

The motherboard includes all of the standardized features like the ability for one full x4 PCIe Gen 3 M.2 SSD slot (with heat spreader cooler), and even three X16 slots. However, one runs x16m the second at x4, and the most lower one ..  just x1. And that's where 'budget' kicks in. Most people merely install a graphics card, and that's enough then really. You'll also spot a variety of USB3.1 Type-A & Type-C Gen2 ports. Mind you that once you install the WIFI module, due to the limited PCIe lanes, the bandwidths is shared with the USB 2.0 ports. 

 
The I/O panel of the B360 Gaming 3 reveals four USB 3.1 ports with one type-c connector and then four USB 2.0 connectors The motherboard features three PCIe x16 Gen 3.0 (x16:x4:x1) expansion slots and two extra x1 slots. For a budget configuration, really you cannot complain. A Realtek ALC892 audio codec is the source for audio which will utilize enhanced quality capacitors following the AMP-UP logic that Gigabyte offers on most motherboards these days. The board gets one 10/100/1000 Ethernet controller from Intel, there is WIFI available as an option, it, however, is an add-on module with an unfortunately colored green PCB that leads to an antenna connected through an expansion slot. 

 
 
The board is powered by one 8-pin ATX power header to the processor. A small detail, the primary x16 PCI-Express slot is metal protected reinforced which helps with the stability of heavy graphics cards.

 

 

 

You will hopefully agree with me that once powered up the aesthetics changes. The board has four DIMM slots. Coffee Lake is limited to dual-channel. This board supports up-to DDR4 2667 MHz memory, you may install up-to 64 GB of it.
