Thanks for the write up. Amazingly thorough (as always) and very timely for me as I am about to pull that trigger … and that Asus model seemed pretty steep.

Great review! First time i read a whole one through in a very long time but I have been eyeing this board the last few days ... i already picked up the gskill 3200 rgb memory which i just had to put in my current system to play with lol.pretty stick too.
Im just unsure if i should buy a new str4 water cooler AIO that has full heat spreader which is not future proof or just get one compatible with ther bracket as i do not think my EKWB predatror 240 will fit.
I am thinking of going the ring rgb AIO cooler but am unsure I also saw a new white cooler come out which would match my build but i am unsure if its compatible.
i didnt know until i read the review that there will be an 8 core 16 thread version want to see a review on that please then i will decide as i am buying the processor last

To this day I don't believe that Gigabyte are sending the same products to their reviewers as are available in stores. They can never regain my trust. It doesn't get much lower in the tech industry than a bait-n-switch.

They were probably too afraid of being sued for false advertisement if they did it for another generation, either that or you got lucky.

Why the closing comment "it's no Zenith"?
The Zenith is a beautiful looking board and was my initial first choice, but was a bit too large for the case I had already purchased (Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX). So, I settled on the Gigabyte. I must say, it was interesting and gratifying to see the Aorus X399 beat the Zenith on all but one of those benchmarks.
Mine will be built as soon as the Enermax LiqTech 360 AIO is released. I still have to buy the memory and had already settled on the same TridentZ, or Ripjaws V, in a 64gb kit.
Thx for the review.

I bought the motherboard with the recommended memory G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C14Q-64GTZR (64G kit) and the result is:
XMP profile doesn't work
setting the memory spec manually doesn't work either (3200/1.35V)
I'm currently stuck at 2133/1.2V. I'm using latest gigabyte uefi, version F3g.
