High price.
Our current Editor's Choice award replaces our former "Elite" award, where highly-priced products could win simply by being best-in-class. Gigabyte's Z170X-Gaming G1 could have qualified for either of these awards, since it's both elite and this editor'...

Abstract: When Skylake came out we were tantalized with the possibilities for high-speed RAM exceeding existing top end kits. Kingston was nice enough to send over a Kingston HyperX Savage 3000MHz kit for us to check out, and with 16GB of dual-channel Savage timed...

GIGABYTE has produced an excellent product in the Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard. It is likely one of the best motherboard designs and executions we have ever seen from the company. The FCLK issues that we are seeing with MSI and GIGABYTE are resident here a...

Potential Added latency w/ a single GPU, No BIOS GUI for system fans, Pricey
Its not often we see a board virtually dripping with top-shelf features. Right on the mobo you have support for USB 3.1 via Intel's USB 3.1/Thunderbolt 3.0 controller. Thickening the plot Gigabyte has tossed in a much welcomed USB 3.1 Bay with reversible...
