This will be my 3rd Z390 Aorus Ultra (not a good thing)
This is my 3rd Z390 Aorus Ultra, First one i bought 02/05/19 after almost 2 weeks of hair pulling trying to figure out why my new build didnt work, turns out it was the mobo... sent it back for a replacement, new one came 02/14/19, later in September or October my RTX 2080 stopped working, thought it was the GPU so i sent that back for repairs turns out it wasnt the problem. The mobo PCIE (all 3) no longer work.
I am buying the same mobo because im praying there is a chance that the first 2 were lemons and the 3rd will work also i am too tired and beat down to reinstall everything otherwise i would have gone with Asus...

Inspect before using!
As it the case with ALL motherboards: Before you use it, inspect every single inch of the board.
The first board cost me $259, delievered in a few days, great! Bent pins in the CPU port, made the memory not work in dual channel mode; the M.2 memory slot wouldn't read, and the processor was running at 85%, and memory running at 23% (if you know anything about benchmarks, this is horrible!). The onboard RGB wouldn't sync with RGB fusion, or the onboard RGB controller on my high end case, and the CPU fan sockets were loose, I had to juryrig my own.
I ended up having Amazon replace this board, and the 2nd board came within a day. No bent pins; all pristine, no bent board, or missing items. Memory fully working, and CPU working. 115% by 135% for cpu and memory - well worth it. The machine is high end, can handle even the most advanced games on Ultra/High, and fully supports the RTX 2070/2080 (love this card and board).
Just make sure you inspect before you buy; Gigibyte will help, but in the end they'll give up too and just say RMA the board.

Amazing motherboard that looks horrible with the lights on
Pros: This is a GREAT motherboard. If you have a 9900k or 9900ks, this is a great buy. The VRMs are probably the best of any z390 motherboard out there, especially at this price point. The VRM heat sinks are also very high quality so the temps stay nice even with a heavy OC. Board has dual bios for people that need that sort of thing, but doesn't have a bios switch. 12+1 power phase, a multitude of well placed fan headers/pump headers.
Cons: RGB is horribly done. The RGB above the chipset has some sort of 'zebra' pattern design when the lights are on that looks horrible. Also, that section of the board will be partially blocked by your graphics card. The post code LEDs are also WAAAAAY too bright and in a horrible spot. Your color scheme with RGB will be ruined by this big glaring red led which really ruins the look of your system. If you wanna get, around that cut some black tape to size and cover it up. Those are minor gripes though because if you only care about a good OC'ing motherboard then that stuff won't bother you.
Imo, the z390 Aorus Pro or Pro wifi is also a good buy. It has the same VRMs, good vrm heatsinks, is cheaper, AND looks better with nearly the same feature set as this board. Either way you go the Aorus line of motherboards are top of the heap in my experience and opinion.

Difficult to Get RAM Running at XMP Speed
Set up and install went well. With 2x8GB Patriot Viper Steel Series DDR4-4133 MHz ram (not on QVL list) I could not get ram to work at either XMP speed. After some research, which indicated that the t-topology board clocked ram better with all slots filled (4 sticks of ram), I bought another identical 2x8GB set of ram. The computer posted immediately at the profile 2 speed (4000MHz) and is gaming (so far) stable. I didn't try profile 1 (4133 MHz). I'm very satisfied with the MB to date. If you want 16GB of ram, which is all that's needed for gaming, I recommend you go with 4X4GB with this MB.

Perfect
I was looking at getting an Asus maximus for my 9700k. I looked through so many reviews and found this board to be the best of what I wanted.
I get a solid overclock of 5.1ghz with no issues with the VRMs as people have had with the maximus boards. Ive moved this board from an NZXT h500i to an H700i, and nothing broke, nothing bent, its all good.

Good value
I got this for the i9-9900k. The board has a lot of m.2 and fan ports, which is nice. The BIOS design is kind of a nightmare, all I have done in it so far is set XMP profile. The software apps are okay, but I don't like how you can't set which temperature to reference in the Smart Fan app, and the CPU temperature shows 8-10 C lower than what other monitors read.

Excellent board w/ a messy BIOS
TL;DR :
Pros
- Pretty
- Decent RGB lighting
- Works
Cons:
- BIOS is a mess
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Everything on and about this board is awesome. I wish there were more RGB lights, but I have learned that the subtleness makes it work.
My only gripe is the BIOS. It is messy and barely works. I can't even use the "EZ OC" function because it is "locked"? (Not that I was going to, but it is extremely weird for this to be happening)
I have built MANY computers in the last decade and this is the first time I have EVER experienced anything like this, and after researching and trying out a few things, I have decided to just leave it alone because nothing worked. So I set everything to "default" and the computer has been running perfectly with zero issues.

Gigabyte never disappoints!
I've been an exclusive Gigabyte motherboard user for well over 10 years now and they not let me down yet *knocks on wood*
My previous system was using a GA-Z270X Gaming K7 and it was rock solid, I had no issues overclocking my i7-7700k and it always ran stable. I am not the type of person to brag about things, but it really did kick butt.
As for this board, I think it is equally great, although the only thing I do miss is the M.I.T. bios settings, I don't like how the most recent bios update literally hides menus within menus. I don't like that and I hope Gigabyte pays attention to future bios programming because I am not the only person who feels this way. As for the design of this board, i think it's great. I hope Gigabyte continues to use and design the best VRM arrays. That is a huge factor in my decision when it comes to purchasing motherboards, VRM stability and endurance. The only other thing I can complain about on this board is the lack of RGB compared to the Z270X Gaming K7, most everything that is RGB is hidden either under my video card or by my CPU cooler. Luckily I can still see the glow, which is nice.
Other than that, no more complaints. This motherboard paired up nice with my i7-9700k, Noctua NH-D15 cooler, G.Skill ddr4 3200 Ripjaws ram and Aorus graphics card. If I had to build another i7-9700k or i9-9900k system, this board would be my first choice and I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to use the mentioned processors.

Works great with 9900K
I started with an ASUS MAX Hero, unfortunately I got a bad processor which was the real trouble, but the ASUS had other random issues. After a few days of frustration I decided to try this and it was able to get the bad processor to boot faster and without rewriting the C drive, I was very impressed by that. Have since straightened the the whole thing out and am very pleased with the performance of the MB. Not even considering that it's cheaper than it's ASUS equivalent, I am very happy with the board. 4.8g all 8 cores and 5.3g on one with no trouble.

Great Out of Box, Can't Overclock i9-9900K
Build on the unit is outstanding. Great VRM heatsinks, and heatsinks on the M.2 slots. More than enough fan headers. Not enough USB headers for this extent of Mobo. Also USB 3.1 header is very close to DRAM clips and they interfere with one another. Only 1 Ethernet connection (why Gigabyte, why?)
Biggest detractor is that I have been unable to get a stable overclock. I even followed Gigabyte guide step by step without success. I have some experience doing this but this Mobo/chip combo would not get off the ground. Still trying...

Excellent stable board for workstation builds
I used this motherboard to assemble a scientific workstation (along with an i9-9900k, and 16GB of Kingston HyperX Fury 2400MHz DDR4 RAM, 2 x Sandisk 1TB SATA SSD's for a RAID-1 main array, a GTX1050Ti, a Seasonic 500W PSU, and a LianLi case).
When building out scientific workstations, my first priority is 24x7 stability/redundancy, predictable setup and servicability. Overclocking ability and other bells and whistles are nice-to-haves, but secondary concerns.
I find Gigabyte boards closest to the Intel reference board design in terms of basic functionality (which is a good thing) so they are my go-to board when I need stability.
The build completed in about 2.5 hours, and I was through POST and into Windows setup at the 3 hour mark... not bad. No surprises, and the system is rock stable.

Expensive and nice, very nice.
I found this for 75 dollars off, so I can't say I would have bought it otherwise. The current price seems to be lower than it was when I bought it for 175. I do like it, a lot! From the included temperature sensors, the large number of fan headers, the lighting, the slot layout. The audio turned out to be excitedly good. I run the onboard audio through a Schiit audio tone control and then to active speakers. Just as good as standalone USB DACs. The packaging was great, the accessories are great, looks great, works great.
The only downside is the price tag, and considering the 6 layer 2 oz motherboard and real 12 phase CPU power, it's nice.
It's hard to recommend it if you are not gong to overclock, and even if you mild overclock like I do, it is not really worth it. It's for people who either have really big overclocking desmans that the extra copper in the motherboard is useful, or people who simply like well made things that go beyond what is necessary.

Good Board
This was an upgrade board for me from a P8P67 and what a difference 11 years can make! I installed the i9-9900k processor with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO cpu cooler, two corsair RGB Pro 16 GB memory sticks, in slots A2 and B2 because with the size of the cpu cooler the A1 slot is blocked from use. A Samsung 970 EVO plus M.2 NVMe SSD was installed without issue. A MSI GeForce RTX 2060 Graphic card was put in, along with 8 new fans ( the RGB fans work but only the fans directly controlled through the BIOS do I have control of, The back and the cpu fan) So, the board is accommodating to fairly large items. There are only two usb2 ports on the board. I would have liked additional, but ... OK, When I fired this new build up it kicked on and off five times before it finally figured itself out and started humming away. Everything on the board is working fine, nothing broke or bent, so I have no real complaints about it.

Great motherboard.
This is by far the best motherboard I have ever used. I have used every manufacturer branded mobo from Asus to Zotac and this board has been my favorite. I have really always been a fan of MSI and after the last 10 years of builds I decided to step outside my comfort zone. I originally had a Gigabyte Aorus Pro but decided to sell that build and go a little bigger. The functionality and ease of OC’ing is soooo easy a child could do it on the board. I mean Genie is good but this is simpler in my opinion and shows more information. The I/O’s were just enough for me. I like the 3 NVMe slots and honestly the amount of USB ports and the placement of the ports I was able to connect everything into a very nice clean wire view free build.

Expensive but delivers
The manual was clear enough for a first time builder like me to have no issues finding and using everything correctly. The layout of the board allows for a ton of hard drive space should you want it with 3 M.2s and/or up to six SATA connections (which takes you all the way down to 2 M.2s).
I haven’t made any efforts on the RGB front nor do I care so look elsewhere for that. All I currently have is a red glow from the video card
One trouble i did have was getting the BIOS and SmartFan 5 to recognize and use all six case fans.
CPU fans worked fine but there were times when 2-3 of the six case fans were not spinning despite the fact that fan-stop was disabled.
I eventually got it working and am happy with the product. I know without a doubt it will not hamper performance of my i5-9600k overclocked along with an ASUS windforce RTX 2060. And there’s plenty of room to upgrade should I need to.

Excellent choice for anyone
I installed this MB about 6 weeks ago, and have been running it 24/7 since. It arrived on time, well packaged, and with great easy to install instructions. I haven't played it for gaming, so I do not have any review on what that is like, of course it is rated to be one of the best for gaming. But I wasn't going to pop out another 500 for a video card just yet, when I do not play games. What I do love is that I put an M.2 SSD to run as my primary drive, and it found it immediately, and the OS install was flawless.
Thank you for a great product!!!

3 M.2 slots. Tons of USB
I bought this one because it's the only one I could find with 3 M.2 slots. I can't do gaming anymore without the super-fast SSDs. It's also the only MB I found with this many USB ports.
The only drawback I've found so far is that the included documentation only shows how to overclock for i9 processors and it sort of implies that overclocking with i7s is not going to work out. It's doesn't EXPLICITLY say that, but the fact that the instructions are specifically for i9s, gives me cause for concern. I also had a hard time finding anything online for OCing anything other than i9 with this MB.

Great looking board, great features, easy to use/navigate BIOS.
I love this board. It looks great, has plenty of power delivery, and 3 m.2 slots.
Easy to drop into my corsair air 540d case. I didnt change any settings, and it automatically overclocked my i7 8700k. I don't know how or why it automatically happened- but it's stable and cool. I'm not going to argue with it.
Controlling rgb was easy, updating drivers was easy, the included wifi antenna works great with my network.
Make sure you have a jump drive with drivers you need to install, as my board didnt have ethernet or wifi drivers set up upon first boot. I ended up using the DVD to install those drivers, then do everything else on gigabytes website after installing windows.

Great board
Very solid board, my first gigabyte board, I'm partial to asus ROG boards but this one had the features I wanted inside the price point I was trying to keep. Mainly it had 3 native nvme slots, the rog boards in this range only had 2 and I needed 3 for the build I was aiming for.
This board has been reviewed extensively so I don't have anything special to add, I will just say I'm very pleased with the board. Very user friendly as far as setup, I had no boot problems or install issues, read my RAM and devices and loaded my xmp no issues with 32 gigs installed off the jump. No silliness with having to only use one stick of ram to get it to boot or anything. Setting up the NVME raid was also super easy, the bios could be a little more intuitive but not too bad. I have no real cons with this board as of yet , solid product.

No issues, expected results.
Solid board, everything configured easily and worked without any hassle. They make it very easy.
Worst part about this board is the sound driver itself. I've found the stock audio driver (high def device) provided by Microsoft works far better than the Realtek driver provided, for stereo sound at least. I would wait on installing the provided audio driver until they fix it (if they do), or just get an audio card and get superior sound than any board provides.
Bios works fine, but could have a few features that power users may want. Plenty of configuration options for most standard OCers. Modern board are very resilient so it's hard to screw anything up permanently.
I've been a Gigabyte fanboy for a while as their components seem to last the longest for me with solid performance for years. Hopefully they still have the same quality standard they've had for years past.

Great board
I got this motherboard on Black friday for $199.99 I love this motherboard and does a great job overclocking my system. The Power delivery is top notch and while the Bios is a bit disorganized, It didn't take me to long to figure it all out.
I do have a few Minor astetic issues with the Aorus Ultra. Alot of the RGB lighting is blocked by a large video card so an aditional led highligh would be nice but not a big deal. However the placement of the LED code readout placement is pretty bad. It's at the bottom of the board in the middle and is the brightest LED on the board shiining bright red. Not a great thing if you want a color them that doesn't include red.
Overall for the price It is a great board that I would buy again If I had it to do over.

Works Great with World of Warcraft Epic BG's
Even before hooking this up to anything, I could tell this was a huge upgrade…great quality construction and aesthetic value. The feel of the construction can be felt in the weight and how it felt solid construction. When I decided that this would be the cornerstone of my upgrade (moved from AMD to Intel)…I wanted to keep it economical I went with i5-8400 and G Skill Rapjaws (ECC, 2 x 8GB). Although it lists that it only works with non-ECC RAM, the instructions that come with it does say you can do 1 strip. I would go with Ballistix Sport LT DDR4 2400…it was suggested by crucial.com as guaranteed compatible.
I got this upgrade to play WoW, I would get huge lag in large battlegrounds. I do plan on getting my ram to 64 GB and upgrading the chip later on. The i5-8400 defaults to 2.8 ghz, before I dabbled on overclocking I went to test the new system in a BG. All tests where fantastic and works better than my AMD that I had at 3.6 ghz (same video card and was using 32g ram), I used the provided wifi antenna. I was in close range of about 50 people in the BG and so no lag. This is a very nice motherboard with many options and love the layout of where all the extras plug in.
The provided sata cords are lengthy enough to support a mid-tower and possibility a max tower. 4 cords are provided, with 2 of them have connectors that are L-shaped on one side…great for keeping the plug-in flat against the power port. The one thing I can provide criticism, the connection on the motherboard sata are positioned paralleled to the board and facing to front of your machine. So once the MB is installed it can be a challenge to plug in your sata cords, especially if you don’t have the ability to remove both sides of your case.
Pluses of this motherboard: wi-fi (with a provided antenna), quality sata cords with a decent length (with L-shaped connections), the connection panel on the rear has it’s own panel (no open space), supports 8 and 9 gen intel chips (can go economical to pricey), fits snug in ATX case, multiple fan power connections, case connections (power, LED, etc) are quality connection), and nice aesthetic value.
Criticism of this motherboard: placement of sata connection might be small challenge for novice, lack of easy bios instructions, yellow-colored illumination (if you can change, I don’t know…most of my color scheme is red), and a challenge to read small text labels for case connections (but really what else can you do, had to read manual to see which was which).

Ужасно
be very careful with the m2 slots
after installing m2, and tightening the screw, the slot feels loose. Not certain I tighten it a little bit more and the thin screw snapped. Ends up slot 1 and 2 does not lock down tightly, only slot 3 feels secured, and the cheap screw snapped so now I can only use slot 2 and 3.

fantastic board but one stupid flaw
this board has everything you could want in a board EXCEPT the fusion 2.0 software is sooo bad it was almost a deal breaker for me the settings in the software are so limited plus the choices are terrible i just decided to leave it on default goes through each color its a shame the board itself is awesome just that stupid software hope they fix it in the future
