At launch, Gigabyte has at least 11 boards including the mini-ITX Z370N-WiFi and micro-ATX Z370M-D3H, but M.2 heatsinks are still scarce on its boards, with only the Aorus Gaming 7 offering one. We're also expecting higher end boards perhaps including a Gaming 8 and Gaming 9 at some point, seeing as these were part of its Z270 lineup, as well as a premium mini-ITX board to follow in the excellent Z270N-Gaming 5's footsteps.
Gigabyte's EFI and software appear to be pretty much the same as their X299 boards, but RGB lighting on its more premium boards has been more vivid than the competition, and it looks to extend its blinding array of illumination by including support for digital 12V or 5VLED strips, rings, or matrices with a WS2812 LED controller, which can address individual LEDs' colour and brightness. The lighting also extends to the PCH and VRM heatsinks this time too. Good lord.
