Gigabyte finally reveals Z390 AORUS Xtreme

When money is no issue you look for the best. This is where AORUS Xtreme comes in. The motherboard unveiled today by Gigabyte is a 16-phase VRM monster with a high-grade audio chipset, three shielded M.2 slots, and two LAN connectors (one being 10Gb).

Officially the Z390 Xtreme aims for case-modders and overclockers. It supports high-frequency XMP memory, has dedicated buttons for CMOS clearing and overclocking (although one would say these are rather standard features now).

Our sources claim that AORUS is also working on Xtreme Waterforce variant, possibly featuring preinstalled monoblock or at least VRM water block (time will tell).
