Hi all,
A friend of mine wants me to build him a new Hack. The only problem is that we need to stick with Gigabyte AORUS motherboards (for Thunderbolt support) and here in South Africa the Z370 boards are now few and far between. We originally chose the Gaming 7 because it offers enough M.2 slots and since he works in audio he needs like 9 drives but they seem to be end of life and the suppliers are out of stock.
Has anyone had success with the Z390 chipset yet? I know there have been a few threads discussing the chipset, but I can't seem to find any success stories yet.
I'm just worried that if we go with such a new chipset that it will be a real struggle to get all the hardware working. On-board wifi isn't a huge issue and neither is on-board audio since he uses an external audio interface via Thunderbolt (we have the Alpine Ridge card and I've got it working on Z370 successfully).
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
