Gigabyte Z490I AORUS Ultra Review
Audio Quality »Finished Looks
The Gigabyte Z490I AORUS Ultra has a neutral black and gray theme that is easy to match and will compliment a wide range of components.
Like on many ITX boards, the RGB on the Gigabyte Z490I AORUS Ultra is kept minimal, with a single strip along the front edge of the board.
