From Tom's Hardware: The Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme WaterForce is an E-ATX motherboard carved from an eight-layer 2x copper PCB (printed circuit board). It comes with an over-the-top 16-phase digital power delivery subsytem for overclocking the latest 8th- and 9th-generation Intel Core processors. The processor draws its power from a pair of 8-pin EPS power connectors. The motherboard has its own OC area with an array of different buttons, switches and a numeric diagnostics panel. Overclocking enthusiasts will be happy to know that the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme WaterForce comes with two BIOS chips. There's also a header to connect Gigabyte's OC Touch Panel, which is purchased separately.
As the Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Xtreme WaterForce is built for watercooling enthusiasts, the motherboard is equipped with an all-in-one (AIO) monoblock that cools both the power delivery subsystem and the Z390 Platform Controller Hub (PCH). As expected, the motherboard features controllable RGB lighting all over. There are 16 hybrid fan headers and two temperature sensors, as well as two addressable LED strip and two RGB LED strip headers. Consumers can control all the fan headers through Gigabyte's included Smart Fan 5 software or purchase the optional Aorus RGB Fan Commander accessory.
