The Aorus bird can be seen on the front of the box while specs are highlighted on the rear.
Given the £270 asking price, Gigabyte is not splashing the cash when it comes to bundled items. Four SATA cables, a connector block, and the rear IO shield are all there is in terms of physical accessories. An RGB header extension cable would have been welcomed.
We assume that retail samples will ship with a SLI bridge.
The usual set of documentation is provided alongside a sizeable set of Aorus stickers which includes cable labels and a passport cover.
yawn…..
i was using intel (and only intel) since 2008… but this x299.. no thanks.
i rather buy a threadripper. intel has lost it… too expensive for what it offers.
i am not stupid enough to pay 40% more for 10-20% more real life performance.
and who was the genius that thought using TIM on a high end CPU is a good idea?
my main system is still a x99 but i changed my sandy bridge 2600k system to a ryzen 1700… best CPU deal since 2011. go AMD!!!
AHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHA!
AMD SUCKS!
