So, Gigabyte today unveiled its new X299 Aorus Gaming 7 Pro motherboard. Also, that is a new model from the manufacturer with a lot of RGB LED lighting with much in common with the average Gaming 7 model. Also, that is prepared for quadruple multi-GPU configurations. In addition, it incorporates five PCIe 3.0 x16 ports along with three M.2 ports (one hidden in the chipset heatsink) with the heatsink. And the usual 8 DIMMs for DDR4 memory, all with LED lighting, including the chipset heatsinks and the coverage of the I/O zone.

Unlike the non-Pro model, this includes a Turbo B-Clock controller for overclocking, thus improving the capabilities of the motherboard in this feature.

The electrical design comes with the original model with 12 power phases and two 8-pin EPS connectors. This supply gets cool by a more massive than usual heatsink in the upper part connected to a second cooling element in the I/O zone, which also has a small 40mm fan for current dissipation.
Regarding connectivity, we have two Gigabit Ethernet networks together with an 802.11ac WiFi network that we can find in the I/O zone. That equipment comes with 9 USB ports, including a USB Type C port and audio jacks bathed in gold.
This new motherboard should be available soon, with a price slightly higher than the Gaming 7 model.
