To describe the Z170X-Gaming 7 simply as “good” would be inadequate and a disservice to Gigabyte. For $219.99, it shames so much of its competitors compared to what they offer at that price range. Even if there was no LED on the IO shield or audio path, t...

Diseño y acabados excepcionales, Con USB 3.1 (tipo A y C), USB 3.0, DisplayPort, M.2., Fortificada con detalles Ultra Durable, Buen rendimiento en general, BIOS UEFI muy completa
Consume ligeramente un poco más que otras placas Z170
Lógicamente, y a excepción de alguna que otra sutil diferencia, las placas con chipset Z170 siguen rindiendo lo mismo ahora que cuando salieron (la Gaming 7 un poco más en RAM, ya que la frecuencia era algo superior al modelo de referencia). Puede haberse...
