Gigabyte releases Z270X DESIGNARE Motherboard With Quadro Validation
Okay, so the press-release is about this motherboard and Quadro support, but really I just wanted to show you a few photos on this board. It is a Z270 motherboard with, you guessed it, a bit of a chrome design, maybe I should call it Titanium looks? ;) Pun aside, that is a great looking board though.
Gigabyte is proud to announce the addition of the Z270X-DESIGNARE to GIGABYTE’s 200 Series Family. The DESIGNARE motherboard, as the name implies, is geared towards the creative minds of content creators. This series of motherboards was first introduced in the Intel 100 Series Chipset to promote Nvidia Quadro graphics cards. By placing it through tried and tested benchmarks with real world environment settings, the DESIGNARE Motherboard is optimized for content creators of all levels.
With the 200 series GIGABYTE has done it again and this time with a distinctive silver alloy PCB design and unique markings along the front and rear of the board. Just like its predecessor, the 200 series DESIGNARE Motherboard is fully validated and optimized for Nvidia Quadro graphics cards and high-performance graphics to ensure designers have nothing holding them back.

Looks amazing. I love sleek white/silver motherboards like this. The lighting is on point too.
Unless you use LN2 that wouldn't make much of a difference anyway.

Not sure what makes these any more qualified than any other board. If these were really any more qualified than the next board, I would assume they would have an auxiliary molex/sata/6- or 8-pin to ensure adequate power delivery over PCIe.
In fact, considering all the fancy detailing, I'm pretty sure a designer wouldn't care diddly-squat what a computer looks like on the inside.

Yeah it looks very nice, would be even more if it had 10 or 12pwm instead of 7?
