Gigabyte trenutno u ponudi ima pet matičnih ploča s AM4 socketom – tri su s B350 i  dvije s X370 čipsetom. Vrh ponude čini Gaming K7 model, a mi danas donosimo test Gaming 5-ice. Riječ je o moćnoj gamerskoj ploči s vrlo bogatom opremom koja uključuje audio jedinicu s dvostrukim ALC1220 kodekom i dvostrukim pojačalima za slušalice, a tu su i dvostruki Gigabit LAN kontroleri,  M.2 socket, U.2 utor, USB 3.1 Type C i Type A konektori itd. Pakiranje prati Aorus dizajn zadan još s Z270 pločama, a kupac će na zadnjoj stranici saznati apsolutno sve što treba o proizvodu.

Unutar kutije se ploča nalazi u zasebnoj kartonskoj pregradi unutar antistatičke vrećice. Ispod je bundle koji se sastoji od brzih instalacijskih uputa, nešto deblje knjižice s detaljnijim uputstvima, DVD-a s upravljačkim programima i aplikacijama, Q-konektor, zaštitu za stražnje I/O portove, produžni kabel za LED traku, dvije temperaturne sonde, dvije VELCRO trake, jedna mala Aorus naljepnica za kućište, set Aorus naljepnica za obilježavanje kabela, četiri SATA kabela i jedan 2-way SLI mostić (GC-SLI2P).

AX370 ploča je tipičan primjerak Aorus obitelji koja je lansirana ove godine s izlaskom Z270 ploča. Karakteriziraju ju kombinacije hladnih tonova, s mat crnim PCB-om, bijelim plastičnim pokrovom za stražnji I/O i audio jedinicu, te bijelo-sivim pokrovima crnih aluminijskih hladnjaka. Ove će hladne tonove svakako razvedriti RGB Fusion LED osvjetljenje koje se proteže u nekoliko zona preko cijele ploče. Raspored elemenata na ploči (layout) je klasičan, sve je logično smješteno i ništa ničemu neće smetati. Konektori su razvučeni po rubovima ploče, a jedino će se M.2 SSD neminovno naći ispod grafičke kartice jer je tik ispod prvog PCIe x16 slota. Kao što znamo, poneki se SSD-ovi jako zagrijavaju a ispod grafičke kartice baš i neće imati prostora za disanje, stoga je bitno osigurati kakav takav prijelaz zraka preko njega.

Hladnjaci na MOSFET-ima su solidno dimenzionirani, no pod opterećenjem se dosta zagrijavaju što je pogotovo izraženo kod overclockinga pa ih je potrebno hladiti prisilno. Isto se može reći i za hladnjak na X370 čipsetu, a zračna struja koja će prelaziti preko njega hladit će i SSD na M.2 socketu. Stoga je kod planiranja nabavke potrebno kupiti ili imati i kućište u koje je moguće ugraditi barem dva usisna ventilatora. Gigabyte se inače hvali visokom kvalitetom komponenata i izrade što je i vidljivo. Primijenjen je Ultra Durable princip izrade, a tu su i različite zaštite kao što su Anti-sulfur dizajn otpornika, memory armor, PCIe armor itd.
