Synthetic tests first, then the gaming tests. We have the legacy PCMark 08 Professional results, it’s still a valid benchmark, and we also have Futuremark’s or UL as they are now branded from April 2018, new PC benchmarking application, PCMark 10 Professional.

UL’s PCMark 10 Professional doesn’t have a clear standout Storage benchmark, but it’s not really an issue. The PCMark 08 result covers this and it’s on the money for an Intel Z370 Chipset result, they are all relatively the same.

A solid performer from Gigabyte, though an unnecessary upgrade for some, it keeps you on the Intel upgrade path, a bumpy and dangerous (for your bank balance) path. The motherboard is a good product let down but a light touch bundle and the biggest issue for us, this is Gigabyte Rev.01, or Revision 1. Gigabyte has been doing this for years, and for anyone who runs out and gets a Gigabyte motherboard at its launch and doesn't know this, it can be very frustrating.
