Best in features, not so much in getting it started.
This review is for the GIGABYTE GA-Z170X-Gaming GT.TL;DR │ Perfect for a 2-Way SLI, RAID 0 NVMe configuration. Future proof with Thunderbolt 3 (and USB 3.1) USB Type-C port capability. Also, it has on-board dedicated audio processor from Creative.CONTENTS: Intro │ What I Like │ What I Don't Like │ vs GA-Z170X-Gaming-7 │ Package │ My build │ Verdict- - - - -After so much researching it all came down to this or the MSI Z170A XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM. I went with this because mainly of my obsessive compulsiveness, with the placement of M.2 slots on-board. Also, This is cheaper and has better on-board audio, eliminating the need for buying one. Ultimately, this fits my build, without wasted feature. (See "My Build" below if interested).WHAT I LIKE │ + │+ Thunderbolt 3 certified USB Type-C. One of the few Z170 which has it currently.+ Two NVMe M.2 ports, for RAID M.2 SSDs (like the Samsung 950 PRO).+ Creative Sound Core3D sound processor.+ Looks better in person than in photos.+ The metal shields around the PCIe slots.WHAT I DON'T LIKE │ × │× Not enough information and instructions, considering the abundance of new tech on-board.× Not much of a fan of the color red.× GIGABYTE doesn't seem to like responding to questions.× Shared bandwidth on the last PCIe x16 (x4 lanes) and one of the M.2.× The on-board LED color and audio panel are not independent of each other.× The on-board LED color is yellowish and definitely not accurate.× After updating the BIOS, the USB won't be active until after the BIOS prompt. This made it impossible to use a keyboard to enter BIOS. I resolved this by removing the CPU cooler internal USB connection.DIFFERENCES WITH GA-Z170X-Gaming-7- GT has two audio op-amps vs. one on the Gaming-7.- GT has more MOSFETS, chokes, caps. Theoretically better VRM.- GT has support for Q-Flash Plus. Flash BIOS directly from a flash drive.- The location of the battery.- Subjectively better-looking box.PACKAGE │ ✓ │✓ A good looking, unsealed box.✓ The ATX motherboard.✓ Printed materials.✓ Black flexible 2-Way SLI cable✓ Two nylon braided SATA cables with straight plugs.✓ Two nylon braided SATA cables with angled plug on one end.✓ G Connector (for easy plugging of your case's front panel connectors).✓ Reading materials.✓ Driver disk.✓ Back panel port dust covers (plug-in).- - - - -MY BUILD :: Intel Core I7-6700K || Corsair Hydro Series H115i || Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti, 5GB GDDR5, 2-Way SLI || EVGA HYBRID Water Cooler || Samsung SSD 950 PRO NVMe 256GB×2, RAID 0 || Samsung SSD 850 PRO SATA III 512GB×2, RAID 1 || Western Digital IcePack Heatsink || Gigabyte Z170X Gaming GT || EVGA SuperNOVA 1200 P2 || Crucial Ballistix Sport LT 32GB Kit (8GB×4) DDR4 || Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 ATX Cube Case- - - - -VERDICT: I recommend this product.★★★★☆ | 4 stars out of 5. I am just not 100% satisfied. I think this was a problem with GIGABYTE and their products, mostly. Beyond that, I like it because it is perfect for my build.Questions?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great motherboard for price, used for first-time gaming PC build
Reviewed in Canada on August 6, 2017
Purchased this for a first time gaming PC build. I shopped around quite a bit and realized there are so many options to choose from, that you can easily find yourself in a black hole of motherboards trying to pick the right one. I highly recommend the use of PCpartpicker.com to ensure you select compatiable parts for your build. From there, I discovered this motherboard, which provides more than enough PCIe lanes, looks great, and matches my colour scheme. All you need to install is a screwdriver (I use a set specifically for PC-building), and the install was very easy for me. Clearly a high quality product- recommend to anyone.
