Not a bad looking board that

 

[Warchild]

It's like they took the ASUS Deluxe X99 board, and just... made it better

This is a nice one. Font isn't in your face and somewhat discreet, yet it's there.

Tbh I think we are spoilt for choice with the Z270 boards, there's nice boards coming from Msi Asus and gigabyte

 

[Doomslayer]

None of the three companies motherboards that they have come out with i don't like any of them.

IMO RGB are over done.

I'm more looking forward to the Gigabyte GA-Z270MX-Gaming 5

Looks good. Z270 the year that subtlety and taste came back to the mainstream.

Edit - I was wondering about pronunciation. Looks like Aorus is a derivative of Horus the Egyptian god of War and hunting. Hence the Falcon. Just with the H dropped so it's like 'orus. Well according to Wikipedia anyways so could be complete bs....

Maybe it's an Americanism like 'erbs?

If you want an American opinion.. tbh I have no clue how you say the Aorus. I've asked a couple friends of mine and no one agrees on the same thing. It's just so odd for a branding name.

look on YT they have a channel it sounds like a silent A so it's "or us"

Ah ok that settles that

 

[jimma47]

It's like battle of the birds of prey - Asus Strix is an owl.. Gigabyte now have the Aorus (Falcon) so what's next? EVGA Raven? MSI Hawk (yeah they already do that)

 

[Warchild]

actually close but not quite. A is pronounced on its own, followed by the "or" "us"

"A" "or" "us" where A is pronounced as "ay" not "ah"

I just pictured people sounding like donkeys as they said it now. Ay Or Us.

Ay Or
EEEEHHH ORRRRRRR

God i need sleep.
