Gigabyte Aorus GA-Z270X-Gaming 7
"Yes of course this motherboard takes part in the RGB hype that has found its way into pretty much any PC component that you can plug into something. Obviously there is a lot more going on, what we like for example s that this motherboard offers both a Killer E2500 and Intel Gigabit LAN connector, so you can choose whichever one you prefer.
In the end the Gigabyte GA-Z270X Gaming 7 is terrific, a stable well designed platform with nice BIOS functions and a lot of bling." - Guru3D.com

"Across Gaming 7 there is strong emphasis on high-performance with support for both U.2 and M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 storage standards. Some brands are making a step away from U.2, so it’s good to see such a port present on the Gaming 7. Adding to the high-performance attributes, GIGABYTE are also backing Thunderbolt 3 via USB 3.1 type-C – this taps into up to 40GB/s transfer rates and has the ability to support monitor displays at 4K resolution as well as enabling the option to daisy chain up to six devices.
After putting Gaming 7 through our benchmark suite we can confirm a solid performer. Up against rival Intel Z270 motherboards, this AORUS offering delivers consistent results in a range of different scenarios. Further to this, we were able to achieve the best overclock we’ve had thus far with the new Intel Kaby Lake – Intel Core i7-7700K – taking the chip to 4.9GHz.
The AORUS Z270X-Gaming 7 is poised to represent one of GIGABYTE’s premium motherboard solutions and it certainly delivers on this. Gaming 7 sets the standard for others to follow, boasting a feature-rich platform and stunning aesthetics." - Vortez.net

"We're often asked why should an enthusiast consider motherboards that are oftentimes £100 more than the basic model when most of the goodness emanates from the chipset.
Good question, and Gigabyte, who now brands its premium boards as Aorus, sets to answer it by offering more of almost everything. There's more storage, more lighting, more audio, and more enthusiast-friendly features such as onboard buttons." - Hexus.net

Surround Lighting
Three different light zones are equipped with bright RGB LEDs, namely the CPU Zone, Armor & Audio Zone and Accent LED Zones. When it’s all set and done, your system will shine like never before.
Swappable Overlay for Accent LED
AORUS brings even more color and life to your system with an Accent LED Overlay. This overlay complements the RGB Fusion technology in AORUS Motherboards adding more flare and style to your gaming machine. With the swappable overlay users can utilize different patterns and designs to make their system their own.
Supports RGBW Light Strips
Independently Programmable Onboard Pin Header for RGBW LED Strips
Not bright enough? You can install standard 12V external RGB or RGBW light strips on the RGBW pin header and control its color from the RGB Fusion software. With RGBW light strips that have a dedicated white color LED, you can have brighter and more vibrant colors.
No need to worry when choosing light strips as the AORUS motherboards support a wide variety of RGBW light strips on the market thanks to the RGB Fusion software that allows users to redefine the pin location for the R/G/B Signal.
RGB Fusion (Advanced mode)
With the all new RGB Fusion software, users have access to different preset LED lighting configurations with choice of colors. You can even set the LEDs to synchronize with your favorite music or have them change colors to indicate the CPU temperature.
For true lighting experts there is an Advanced Mode, which can be fully customized by individual area with its own effects and color transitions, along with specific duration and transition times.
Once done, it’s simple to save and share your lighting profile with others.
Smart Fan 5
With Smart Fan 5 users can ensure that their gaming PC can maintain its performance while staying cool. Smart Fan 5 allows users to interchange their fan headers to reflect different thermal sensors at different locations on the motherboard. Not only that, with Smart Fan 5 more hybrid fan headers that support both PWM and Voltage mode fans have been introduced to make the motherboard more liquid cooling friendly.
All Hybrid Fan Pin Headers
-
All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
-
Supports up to 2 amps with built-in overcurrent protection—a must for high-end high current fans.
