Nakon testa Asusove B360 ploče donosimo i test jedne Gigabyteove. B360 Aorus Gaming 3 WiFi kao što joj i ime sugerira donosi Intelovu CNVi 802.11ac WiFi karticu kao dodanu vrijednost što će svakako privući pažnju kupaca. Ploča je zanimljivo dizajnirana, ima RGB Fusion LED osvjetljenje, dva M.2 socketa od kojih jedan ima i pasivni hladnjak, gigabitni LAN, HD Audio, dual BIOS i sve ostalo što je potrebno za dobru gaming ploču.

Kao što smo jučer kod recenzije Asusove ROG STRIX B360-F ploče napisali, B360 čipset je namijenjen korisnicima koji nemaju na pameti overclocking, a žele slične mogućnosti kao sa Z370 pločama uz nižu cijenu. Na ovoj ploči vidimo neke sličnosti i u pakiranju i u dizajnu sa skupljim Z370 modelima koje smo testirali prošle godine – Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 i Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming. Bundle je jasno nešto manje izdašan, no i dalje zadovoljavajuće bogat za ovu cjenovnu klasu:

  • Medij s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama
  • Upute za korisnike
  • Dva SATA kabela
  • Zaštita za stražnje I/O portove
  • Dva vijka i dva odstojnika za M.2
  • G Connector
  • GC-CI22M_A CNVi Wi-Fi modul
  • Antena za Wi-Fi modul
  • Vodič za instalaciju Wi-Fi modula

GC-CI22M_A CNVi Wi-Fi modul se sastoji od malene M.2 2230 kartice s CNVi konektorom i Intelovim kontrolerom te dva izlaza za antene. Žice dalje vode prema bracketu na kojem su konektori za štapnu antenu. CNVi konektor se na matičnoj ploči nalazi tik ispred baterije, a iza drugog PCIe x1 utora. Kartica na sebi ima Intelov Wireless-AC 9560 kontroler koji kombinira Bluetooth 5 i 2×2 802.11ac Wi-Fi s Wave 2 značajkama kao što su 160 MHz kanali i do 1.73 Gbps propusnosti. Podržan je i Downlink MU-MIMO za prijenos podataka na višestruke klijente. Podržani Bluetooth 5 pokriva 4 puta veću površinu od Bluetootha 4.2 s istom snagom emitiranja, a uz dva puta veću propusnost.

Matična ploča se dizajnom elemenata, te ukupnim izgledom oslanja na ranije viđene Z370 proizvode, no ima i vlastiti prepoznatljivi identitet. Dominiraju crni i sivi tonovi, a za razbijanje monotonije se Gigabyte odlučio za narančaste trake koje se nalaze kako na plastičnom pokrovu stražnjih I/O portova, tako i na VRM i PCH hladnjacima. Ploča je kvalitetno napravljena, uz primjenu dobrih komponenata te ima poznate Gigabyte tehnologije kao što su Ultra Durable, anti-sulfur , Dual BIOS i Smart Fan 5 tehnologije.

PCB je dva centimetra uži nego kod Asusove B360 ploče (24.4 vs. 22.5 centimetra) pa djeluje malo popunjenije, no layout je generalno solidan. Svi su konektori dobro razmješteni uz rub ploče, a jedinu zamjerku imamo na vertikalno postavljene SATA konektore. VRM hladnjaci su dobro dimenzionirani i nema pregrijavanja u radu, dok je PCH hladnjak nešto tanji i zagrijavanje je baš kao i na Asusovoj ploči izraženije.
