So, time has come to update my old system, built like 5 years ago, and I always loved/used Gigabyte motherboards, so I went with the Aorus z690 option, although there are some many models i still cant figure which one.
What I had clear is that I wanted to go with DDR4, just because 5 is so much expensive and I wont need it, the idea is to pair this mobo with a 13th i5 13xxxx and 64gb of Ram.
So far so good, the problem now seems to be AUDIO, all those boards comes with 2 line out, and I LOVE and cant afford to loose my Creative 7.1 speakers, the only model that has 7.1 output seems to be the EliteMaster in DDR5 fashion.
So whats everyone take on this? how the *** i am suposed to keep using my 7.1 speakers with a 2 line out jacks? any alternatives other than go stereo? Shall I go ahead and pay extra 100usd for DDR5 model just for this?
Thanks guys, and for the millennials, have patience, I haven't rebuild the desktop in 5 years, go figure how rusted I am !
