Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3 Review : Premium features for a better price
VERDICT:

Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 3​ has a good mix of features than make it quite favourable for anyone looking to buy a Z170 board. 

 

So what’s missing? Well, you don’t have onboard power and reset buttons so it becomes a little irksome for open-air rigs but that’s a minority use-case anyways. Another thing, that we noticed with this board was that the width of the board is a little narrower than other Z170 boards. It’s 235mm wide while other boards are 244mm wide, this reduction costs the user the ability to use the rightmost mounting holes. So you’ll have to be a little careful while unplugging tough connectors like the 24-pin ATX connector. That being said, this board has a good mix of features than make it quite favourable for anyone looking to buy a Z170 board.
