Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 Motherboard Speech

So, today I have the Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard based on the LGA 1151 socket which allows support for Intel’s 6th generation Skylake processor for review, and I don't know where to start! It has a plethora of features, looks stunning and compliments the new chipset's rich connectivity.

The GA-Z170X-Gaming G1 is the top of the line motherboard from the gaming series of Gigabyte. It's one of the most feature packed motherboard that I've reviewed so far and offers some of the latest features like, 13 USB 3.0 ports (7 back and 4 through internal headers), 2x USB 3.1 Type-C (back panel/front panel), 2x USB 3.1 Type-A (back panel/front panel), two 1GBit Killer NICs, Killer WirelessAC/BT 4.0, Creative ZxRi 120dB+ audio, Thunderbolt 3.0,
On opening the box you'll see a huge motherboard that looks similar to some futuristic spaceship!!

The red and white color theme looks pretty good in person. Gigabyte did a very nice job with the looks of the motherboard, especially with the shields over the IO panel and the audio section. Gigabyte has increased the number of fan headers to 7; one CPU fan header offers PWM or voltage (DC) mode operation, and the rest offer voltage mode operation.

The PCI-E layout is simple and similar to the previous boards.The Ultra Durable Metal shielding claims to be 3.2X stronger in retention tests. All the CPU's 16x PCI-E lanes are routed to a PLX bridge which outputs 32x PCI-E 3.0 ports downstream. Two sets of 16x lanes are routed to the first and third PCI-E slots, and each of those slots shares 8x lanes with the 16x slot below it. You can run 16x/0x/16x/0x, 16x/0x/8x/8x, 8x/8x/16x/0, or 8x/8x/8x/8x for 4-way SLI/CrossFireX. All the PCI-E 1x slots are PCI-E 2.0 and go through an ASMedia bridge chip. The company also claims that the one piece design is stronger than the two piece
This is where we need to configure the motherboard to our unique specifications of our hardware. The BIOS needs to be simple but complex enough to give us flexibility to properly tune the motherboard. This time gigabyte has removed the option of switching between two looks of the Bios (remember the Lava backdrop, yeah that has been removed) and you only get the classic mode to play around. As most people liked the classic version so Gigabyte decided to remove it which I think is a good decision as the other version was sluggish and distracting for anyone doing some serious overclocking (since Skylake boards are aimed at
