Hey guys,
Was wondering if gigabyte x470 aorus ultra gaming motherboard is good for r7 2700x?
Maybe I'll do some oc. And as i know it has 8+3 power delivery, is it any good?

other mobo sugestions are wellcome :)
 
has bad review history. MSI X470 GAMING PLUS AM4 AMD X470 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard has much better review although not great compared to some of the higher dollar ones but by far much better than the gigabyte
 
turns out that gigabyte advertises this board as 8+3 power delivery but in reality it is only 4+3, on the other hadn msi has 4+2.

all the reviews i read state that aorus x470 ultra gaming is good for its price

other thing i can find is that msi has single bios, if it fails its doomed. gigabyte uses dual bios
 
The motherboard is more than up to the job for a 2700X though if you are looking to go crazy on overclocking then maybe something better on the VRM side...But it will handle up to 4GHz all core fairly well if your CPU can do it. Overall, it is a very good value motherboard with a lot to offer for the money but not a top end board more mid range...
 
well, was going all over net to find out that from gigabyte, asus and msi the most efficient power delivery is on msi boards, then asus in the middle and gigabyte at the end. and more eficient = less heat on vrm. so to i guess gigabyte is the hotest mobo.

wondering about asrock
 


ASRock tend to have the best VRM setups currently...
