Those individual LED light killed it on the PCIE and around the CPU's VRM. There should be LED strips rather than individual lights like that.

I'm guessing their assumption is that the LEDs will be covered by the CPU cooler and PCIe cards (dual-height GPUs), so it'll just give an ambient glow underneath.  But if you don't utilize every PCIe slot where the LEDs are, then yeah, it doesn't look too great.  Seeing that it's their RGB Fusion lighting though, it may be possible to disable the LEDs in certain locations via software.

Would be cool for that light at the edge to have touch sensor functionality for something. And... it's a repost.

I did see your post about the AORUS motherboards, but it was before any specific model information and specs were released.  Didn't know if it'd be best to bump a month old thread with updated info or create a new post.

I'm curious to see how the boards look inside a complete build instead of just the stock images.  The images of a complete build on the product pages don't look nearly as bad as the stock photos, but seeing it in person or from different angles would be nice.

Gigabyte's Marketing department probably had a field day with this :).

Judge a product on its own merits AND the company that made it.

Christmas was weeks ago, I don't want to lit my motherboard that much.

I agree that LED for the IO would be great when plugging usb in the dark...

If you sit in a completely dark room in front of a computer screen for extended periods of time regularly, the USB ports on the back of the case won't be the only thing you'll have trouble seeing in a few years.

 

Few things are as bad as that for someone's eyes save from staring at the sun.

 

If you want the room dark, at least put a light on the wall directly behind the monitor.

Thanks for the health tip. I feel that staring on a screen has more of an impact on your eyes though. I can't read shit from afar nowadays. 

My room is not completely dark, but having the PC under the desk surely does not help. I use f.lux too.
