2 months ago, Gigabyte unveiled the Z590 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce. It is an ultra-high-end enthusiast motherboard with endless features and a stunning monoblock. At the time, the pricing had not been announced, but we guessed it would be similar to the ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Glacial which costs $1,499.99. The AORUS Xtreme Waterforce tops that by $100 at $1,599.99.
The Gigabyte Z590 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce Combines A Long List Of Features With A Unique Visual For Whopping $1600
For the price of $1,599.99, you are getting a long list of features, but the first thing that catches anyone's eye is the monoblock. The monoblock features two LED readouts that display water and CPU temperature. On top of the readouts, the monoblock features stunning lighting and an excellent design. The monoblock covers the CPU and the VRMs, but it also extended across the board to cool both the chipset and NVMe SSDs.
Pushing your processor to achieve better overclocks won't be too difficult with the powerful power delivery solution which consists of a 20+1 stage VRM with 100A power stages. The fear of every PC builder implementing a custom loop is a leak, but Gigabyte has you covered. The Z590 XTREME WATERFORCE has built-in leak detection first seen on the XTREME WATERFORCE WB graphics cards that will automatically shut down your system when a leak is detected.
