Compared to the tepid popularity of GIGABYTE notebooks, GIGABYTE motherboards are thunderous and will not be unfamiliar to anyone who is a DIY gamer, GIGABYTE motherboards have a high reputation among the user base, and have maintained the No. 1 market share in South Korea, the country of esports.
However, in recent years, due to corporate restructuring and sluggish demand for motherboards, GIGABYTE's motherboard business has gradually been widened by ASUS, but even so, GIGABYTE is still the only brand in the motherboard industry that can compete with ASUS, and currently ranks second in the world with a market share of about 30%.
GIGABYTE motherboards have always been known for their excellent workmanship and stable performance, and are also based on Intel platforms, accounting for about 70%, although GIGABYTE itself has divided into three series: AORUS Gaming, GIGABYTE Gaming, and Ultra Durable, and the positioning is decreasing gradually, but in fact, GIGABYTE's series can be said to be the most chaotic among mainstream manufacturers, such as AORUS Gaming and GIGABYTE Gaming, which is obviously supposed to be a high-end naming, also appears on the mid-range B360/H370 chipset motherboards, so it is impossible to judge its positioning simply by naming, and can only rely on the chipset suffix to roughly distinguish it. Under normal circumstances, products with AORUS Gaming or Gaming suffix add certain customization functions (such as lighting effects, etc.) for gamers, and the positioning is higher, if it is the same Gaming series products, the larger the number after Gaming, the better, such as Gaming 7 is better than Gaming 5, the series of Z270X-GAMING 9 won the Best Choice Award Gold Award at the 2017 Taipei International Computer Show.
The Ultra Durable series also differentiates positioning by chipset suffixes, such as the B360-UD. The suffix U means that the third-generation ultra-durable technology is used, the PCB motherboard uses 2 ounces of pure copper, some of which use solid-state capacitors, etc., D represents all-solid-state Japanese capacitors, and P represents the enhanced version, which is slightly higher than the positioning of the same level.
The X299 DESIGNARE EX is the top-of-the-line version of the GIGABYTE Intel platform, positioned as a professional workstation series, with the most top-of-the-line materials and configuration solutions, including reinforced metal armor backplate, server-grade intelligent power supply system, RGB lighting effects, etc., similar to the ROG Rampage VI Extreme, most of the parameters of the two are similar, ASUS has a better audio chip, while GIGABYTE has an extra PCIe x16 slot, the price is only about 60% of ASUS IF YOU'RE USING AN AMD PLATFORM, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO TARGET THE SAME X399 DESIGNARE EX.
Z370 Aorus Gaming 7 performed well in foreign media evaluations, and was rated as the best Intel motherboard by Techradar, according to Gigabyte's naming rules, Gaming 7 is second only to Gaming 9's sub-flagship, Z370 Pintai can provide up to 40 PCIe 3.0 lanes, easily supports dual graphics cards, the expansion ability is undoubted, the lighting effects are very rich, and with GIGABYTE's RGB FUSION software, you can control the lighting effects of the motherboard,
The mid-range can choose B360 AOURS Gaming 3 WIFI, it can also be seen from the naming that the chipset is B360, no overclocking, 4 3 phase power supply is more than enough, the appearance is good, the large area of heat sink makes it look quite a bit of high-end motherboard taste, and it comes with M.2 interface detachable WIFI module, convenient for subsequent upgrades, but as a Gaming series products, the lighting effect is basically not, and the price of 849 is also expensive.
On the e-commerce platform,B360M D3H is the highest-selling motherboard model of GIGABYTE,And B360 AOURS Gaming 3 WIFI uses the same mid-range B360 chipset,Except for one less M.2 interface,The two are almost exactly the same in terms of slot interface,The difference is mainly in appearance,B360M D3H does not have a large area of vest coverage,It looks "shabby" in heat dissipation"A lot,649The price of yuan is only B360 AOURS Gaming 3 WIFI 2/3, more suitable for users who pay attention to cost performance.
