Gigabyte AX370-Gaming K7 Review: Only ONE Thing Missing

2017-03-27
this is gigabytes best the gigabyte horas ax 370 gaming k7 and it's hands-down one of the most stylish and functional motherboards that I've ever seen save one small detail this will be a short and sweet review first off yes a.m. for full support for all am 4c peers including the up-and-coming risin 5 lineup it's also fully RGB functional and both dedicated surround lighting sync with complimentary Google Play and Appstore applications on Sirius you can actually control this board the heli D config via your phone welcome to the future super cool Edition one fan headers gigabytes included eight of them with both voltage and PWM control worried about temperature monitoring seven of those monitors onboard worried about audio clarity how about dedicated rear and front codecs you've got two channels here for crystal-clear audio I can confirm and you'll find that's pretty much the trend for everything on this board high end Japanese caps killer Gigabit LAN the list goes on but enough with spitting out facts anyone can just look these up on their own what are the overclocks like I'm going to rise in 1700 X here running in tandem with a six plus four power phase design that means that only six of those are dedicated to the CPU and a dedicated base clock generator for frequencies ranging anywhere from 100 to 300 megahertz I was able to hit are you ready for this 4.0 2 gigahertz and it's not that bad these chips are stubborn as hell past the upper 3s and in case you're wondering a multiplier of 39 and a base clock of 103 was used so much thought was put into this boards design as well as its function and that's a good thing chances are you'll have way more than you actually need I mean who the heck needs 2 USB 3.0 hubs regardless you've got same can be said for these LEDs by the way he'll find them here here all over here here and here there's even a doctor debug down below great for diagnosing errors we all know that feeling the feeling of not knowing what component is to blame for that catastrophic system failure or a boot loop or crash or unresponsiveness yep it's a big help and I'm glad it's there you'll find other dedicated buttons up top as well to control overclocking presets and system power if you're performing a dry boot good stuff gigabyte I expected nothing less both SLI and crossfire are natively supported as well as clock speeds up to 3200 megahertz but good look getting there I expect it'll be easier to buy ram frequencies bios and ms refinements creep their way into the consumer space there are a few channels who've managed to hit that thirty-two hundred megahertz boundary but yeah that's not mainstream at this point I'll be working on it myself to see what I can actually get in terms of frame rates and just overall stability with the system the good thing is with this board you've got future proofing in mind but there is one thing that I expected in this board that gigabyte did not provide can guess what it is maybe from this angle can you tell see it yet no onboard Wi-Fi card are you kidding me you pack all this goodness into an ATX form factor but neglect to stuff a Wi-Fi card into the mix alright I suppose no board is truly perfect there's always some kind of catch price quality design the gaming k7 gets an A in all of those categories but I can't give it a perfect score because I can't hop online on at least without a cable or a PCI based Wi-Fi card but do I still recommend the board hell yeah I do it's one of the best looking around impacts almost everything you'll need save the Wi-Fi of course and I'm sorry I'm making a big deal of this it's just something that I expected a flagship motherboard this is gigabytes invest in the aim for space and Wi-Fi is kind of a priority for most people at this point it's just the way of the future now things are you know faster wired but still it's nice to have the wireless connection it doesn't have it's like having a car but knowing that you have a problem with the engine or something that people can't see on the outside that you just wish was fixed or which was there but I digress it isn't even very expensive and that's a good thing it was more expensive I wouldn't recommend it top pick in my book and that's why I'll be using its my upcoming custom loop build stay tuned for that tech porn and all the flow modes that accompany it if you like this video be sure to give it a thumbs up thumbs down for the opposite be sure to click the subscribe if you haven't already and stay tuned for the next video on the channel I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow but I'll do something this is Salazar studio thanks for learning with this
