Potentially
This firmware revision defaults our Core i77700K to fixed voltage operation
Odd resource sharing between M.2
SATA
And PCIe requires careful build planning
Network Device Teaming not possible with dissimilar Ethernet controllers
Auto/MCT CPU VCore levels are too high
UEFI needs more work to better compete with ASRock
ASUS
And MSI implementations
The LLC settings make little sense without any form of explanation and they don't perform particularly well
The MadShrimps crew spend quite some good times with the AORUS Z270X Gaming 7, testing all Kaby Lake desktop processors and a huge quantity of DDR4 memory on it. The Gaming 7 withstood all of our stress tests without a single hiccup, after ironing out som...
Excellent Overclocking, Great BIOS Layout, Tons of software Options, Awesome Build Quality, Do I dare say the best Aesthetic Design

It's one thing to say Aorus made a good board, but it's another completely when we call it a premier product. If you're looking for a top tier platform for your system, the Z270X Gaming 7 is certainly worthy of your next build...
The Gigabyte Z270X-Gaming 7 is a resourceful motherboard. It does not bring more SATA and USB 3.0 ports than those offered by the chipset, but they are enough for the majority of the users. We could even list as a limitation the fact it allows up to two v...

The Gigabyte Z270X Aorus Gaming 7 is an acceptable motherboard, if fixing the vCore issue. That one issue is a huge point of concern, though, because the vast majority of system builders will never think to check whether auto voltages are incinerating the...
Abstract: It has been a year since Intel released their latest and greatest platform for mainstream desktop PCs. The 100-series platform was part of the 6th generation processor launch. Skylake brought with it a range of new feature support and performance updates...
The GIGABYTE Z270X Gaming 7 is an extremely well built motherboard that is full of features and we think will support any level of Kaby Lake overclocking your CPU is capable of when using air or water cooling. We are waiting to see where street price land...

It isn't giving away too many secrets or telling you, or indeed Gigabyte, things that you don't already know to say that the previous generation of Gigabyte motherboards somewhat lost their way. The latest Z270 Gaming range of motherboards unquestionably...
The Z270X-GAMING 7 is my first encounter with an AORUS motherboard, and I have to say that GIGABYTE did the right thing by adding in all these features and improving on the ones they were lacking or the launch of the AORUS brand's first motherboard serie...
Improved UEFI that's easily accessible, Great configuration options for RGB lighting, OSD software comes in handy
Very specific about memory frequencies above 3,733MHz, SATA Express inclusion is pointless
this is a great refresh that once again brings the motherboard up to date with cutting-edge technology (barring the HDMI issue). In addition to that, the GAMING 7 officially supports DDR4 4,000MHz on select sets of memory that have such high frequency pr...
