More Gigabyte motherboards have been certified (leaked) at EEC and this time, we get to see not only the new Z490 lineup but also the HEDT X299X and TRX40 series products. The Intel Z490 line leaked a while ago but as expected, there are more models that Gigabyte / AORUS is working on.
Gigabyte Z490 / X299X For 10th Gen Core / Core-X CPUs and TRX40 Motherboards For AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 CPUs Leak Out
Last week, we mostly got to see the mainstream 400-series motherboards for Intel’s 10th Gen CPU lineup codenamed Comet Lake-S. There were a couple of models leaked out with the top-end Z490 boards missing out. Well, don’t worry as those high-end variants have now been listed too.
Gigabyte / AORUS Z490 Series Motherboards For Intel 10th Gen Comet Lake-S CPUs
AORUS would be working on the higher-end parts which would include the Z490 AORUS Xtreme and Z490 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce as the flagship products. Following is the complete list of the Z490 line:
- Z490 AORUS XTREME
- Z490 AORUS XTREME WATERFORCE
- Z490 DESIGNARE
- Z490I AORUS ULTRA
- Z490 AORUS ULTRA
- Z490 AORUS PRO
While the 10th Gen Core lineup is still a while away from launch, Gigabyte is also working on their HEDT X299X motherboards. The ‘X’ has been added to differentiate the newer X299 motherboards from the existing series as AORUS already offered a refreshed with the 9th Gen Core-X lineup. The X299 chipset is the same as the current models but the specifications of the motherboards which include certain things like I/O and power delivery have definitely received upgrades on the newer motherboards to offer well-optimized support for Intel’s 10th Gen X-series ‘Cascade Lake-X’ CPUs.

Gigabyte / AORUS X299X Series Motherboards For Intel 10th Gen Cascade Lake-X CPUs
The Intel 10th Gen X-Series processors which would include the flagship Core i9-10980XE and more are expected to arrive in October, offering higher clock speeds and aggressive pricing to compete against AMD’s HEDT offerings. The Gigabyte X299X series motherboards would include:
- X299 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce
- X299 AORUS Master
- X299X DESIGNARE EX-10G
- X299X DESIGNARE EX
We received a first-hand look of these motherboards back at Computex 2019. They are definitely top-notch designs which look much better than the existing X299 parts and if Gigabyte’s claims hold true, they would also offer much better power delivery systems to the processor, offering great performance, both stock and overclocked.

Gigabyte / AORUS TRX40 Series Motherboards For AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 CPUs
Moving on to the TRX40 parts, well Gigabyte is also working on five new motherboards for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3000 series processors. The TRX40 platform would offer quad-channel memory and reportedly offer support for ‘Enthusiast’ X-series processors while the workstation parts would be supported by the higher-end WRX80 platforms with octa-channel memory support. The Gigabyte offerings include the following:
- TRX40 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce
- TRX40 AORUS Xtreme
- TRX40 AORUS Master
- TRX40 AORUS Pro WIFI
- TRX40 DESIGNARE
The TRX80 and WRX80 would also make it to the certification in the coming days but we don’t have concrete details about the platforms as of now. AMD’s CEO, Lisa Su, did mention in a tweet that we would receive more information on 3rd Gen Threadripper later this year so we should definitely wait for that.
