Who Would Win: Asus Prime X470-Pro - vs - Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 5
Anyone really dug into the specs of both yet?
My opinion:
I like all the extra features and better vcore (8+3 vs 6+4) on the gaming 5. Generally this seems like a better slighter higher end board compared to the Pro.
I like the Pro's audio setup much better and the bios is amazing. The ps/2 port will making installing older windows like 7 easier (maybe), and the overall design of the Pro is much more appealing to me, as well as the aura controls seem better.
