Gigabyte Z490 Aorus Xtreme Review
Nice review!
Missing a 'nude' pic with the covers off though. Love the closeups, but please give us a full frontal also
Just didnt get time for that before NDA - as it was I had to do 18 hour days because of some bios issues with the initial CPU review system
I can only imagine the insane scramble before deadlines. I know that is part of the game. I hope you know we are many that appreciate you direct style, the honesty and thoroughness you bring to your work. Especially the 'so what does it all mean / add up to' after all the numbers. Thanks man.
Much can be saved, by having a case with no glass
I look at all these things, because i like the combination of aesthetics and electronics, but at the end of the day I get a bare-bone system that ticks off my functional requirements. And actually, that has a certain appeal as well; knowing you have 'needed stuff' and not tons of fluff.TBH I can't imagine many people that actually need (not "want") these super expensive products. I mean - what is the use case here?

On a platform with a very doubtful use case I'd think you'd want your version's flagship board to be terrific out of the gate. This isn't; instead we have weird boot issues, peculiar tuning issues, and no one picking up the 'phone. The weird boot issues I've seen similar before with a couple of boards. Those boards didn't improve with fresh bioses; they were both dead within a couple of months. "Good" board? At half the price I wouldn't bother; at the actual price I would have to be nuts.
