Gigabyte X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming review - Product Showcase

Any X470 motherboard can be positioned in the high-end class high-end spectrum of AMD motherboards. Even this value proposition motherboard is still built using Gigabyte's Aorus design alongside a strong VRM design and sure looks nice as well. Gigabyte also includes that really proper M2 cooling heatsink (just for the primary slot though).

 
The motherboard includes all of the standardized X470 chipset options with two M.2 SSD slots (the primary one is full speed x4 PCIe Gen3), 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. Should you use both for graphics cards they lane configuration will split up towards x8/x8. The third (black) one actually runs at x4 Gen2 and is linked from the Chipset.

The I/O panel of the X470 Ultra Gaming reveals six USB 3.1 ports and four 2.0 ones, one is a type-c connector. Budget board or not, you still get a Realtek ALC1220 audio codec solution, quality and WIMA capacitors. There no PS/2 combo port for either a keyboard or mouse. The board gets one 10/100/1000 Gigabit LAN controller (Intel). 

 
The X470 Ultra Gaming comes with one 8-pin power connector. There's limited RGB LED enablement (chipset heatsink and audio circuitry) which you can configure with Gigabyte software or straight from the BIOS. Of course, you can add LED strips etc through several connector present on the motherboard.
