I was particularly fond of the Intelligent mode which adjusts the LED colour profile based on statistics such as the CPU temperature or load, the LAN speed, or even a time schedule. The Basic tab can be used to activate different LED operation modes and also tweak the RGB behaviour. RGB Fusion is Gigabyte's in-depth LED control application. This is particularly useful for analysing stability in the form of checking how your system behaves during an extended gaming or video rendering session, for example. System recordings relating to voltages, temperatures, and fan speeds can also be made.

An 8-point curve can be set for all the motherboard's fan headers or, alternatively, an RPM-fixed mode can be applied (which custom liquid cooling enthusiasts may appreciate).

Four fan speed profiles can be selected and manual fan control ability is provided in great detail. System Information Viewer (SIV) is a similar setup to EasyTune but it is geared towards fan control and system monitoring. The sheer quantity of information displayed is superb and we confirmed CPU VCore accuracy to be good when tested against a physical multimeter reading. Other system settings such as voltages, speeds, and ratios can also be adjusted and saved into profiles.ĮasyTune Hardware Monitor break-out tab is an excellent way of reading a wealth of system information while inside the OS. The performance profile of the system can be adjusted using EasyTune and there's also the option to conduct automated system tuning. Thankfully, not all the tools have to be installed and APP Center is a very good method of managing the selected software, as well as third-party apps and Windows settings.ĮasyTune is Gigabyte's tool for managing system operating parameters. Gigabyte makes a vast number of software utilities available for installation with its Z270 motherboards. As such, we have re-used the bulk of our analysis from that review and updated the text where there are subtle differences. The software used for Gigabyte's Aorus Z270X-Gaming K5 is almost identical to that available for the Gaming 7.
