In this review we look at the Gigabyte Z490 Aorus PRO AX. The new series is aimed to become the more high-end solution at 269 USD, it comes with AX WIFI, and has that intel 2.5 Gbps ethernet jack. That and some pretty fancy design choices from an aesthetic point of view.

then there are no further drivers for this device yet,
i can't even tell what phy is used, gigabyte don't mention if its a I219V or I119V
I would like to, but any driver from Intel does not detect the LAN, only driver from Gigabyte CD works.

It's I219V LAN.
Thanks for checking it with me @Astyanax
For some reason when I uninstalled current (CD) driver and restarted Windows it now shows newer (2 months only old driver vs 12 months old driver before).
What I only did was to try to install new driver, which informed me it installing driver for l219V model but then abort that no Intel LAN is present.
Anyway sorry for offtopic.

I've been on the Aorus Pro AX since launch, it works fine.
A lot of nice features on the aorus boards like the temperature probes, I can finally set my fan curves based on internal case temp.
Two issues i've had,
I found it very difficult to get the ram stable above 2933mhz. It doesn't want to boot and I have to go through a painful boot loop training process every time I want to change a memory setting. XMP would not work out of the box.
The intel ethernet has some connection issue on reboot, however disabling and re-enabling the adapter seems to make it come back to a working state.
Overall my issues seem to be from the z490 platform, not gigabyte specifically.

they might have gone "full re...." sorry "full msi" maybe lol
MSI has drivers and utilities to download on their website (MSI creator for trx40 creator motherboard) except they are UWP and UWP only install properly from the MS store
so if you try to download and install from their website it doesn't work or will heavily bug you need to find and download them from the ms store and bam it works properly (something that several popular youtubers didn't catch ,well all of them really as I can see in their pc build or motherboard review videos that most of MSI apps are missing half the menus lol)
here it's different but I'm thinking kind of the same problem, manufacturers seem to have problems managing the new windows 10 environement
