The Gigabyte Z170X GAMING G1 is coming!

It's stuff like this why I never have any money.

This is the most amazing motherboard I’ve ever seen for gaming! By now we’re used to dual network interface cards (NICs) on gaming motherboards but this thing doubles up on everything: USB ports, dual M.2 connectors, and nothing short of SATA connector madness is going on here. And as typical for Gigabyte the motherboard has dual BIOS plus throws in a few over-clocker features. We even get an Intel USB Type-C connector

Of course as usual Gigabyte can’t resist layering all the contacts in gold so electrical conductivity...so not a problem.

Below is an interview with a Gigabyte representative who appears to let slip some very interesting news too! The Gigabyte Z170X GAMING G1 will be socket 1151 so this motherboard will only be for Intel’s upcoming Skylake series processors, but Intel hasn’t announced when those processors will be released. But the Gigabyte representative mentions that the Gigabyte Z170X GAMING G1 will be available in August, "at the same time as Skylake". Sounds like the silicon cat is out of the bag. Devil’s Canyon’s been fun, but Skylake will be here by the end of the summer!

Gigabyte seems to have done it again with a fantastic motherboard for gaming. This board screams “gamer” with its outrageous amount of connectivity options! Ugh, I can not resist awesomeness of this magnitude. I don’t care what this thing costs, I’m getting one!
