Looking at the design aesthetics of the motherboard, we can spot some big changes from the Z390 AORUS Xtreme with the obvious ones being the large monoblock that comes pre-fitted on the Z390 Xtreme Waterforce. The monoblock extends all the way from the CPU socket to the power delivery section and even covers the Z390 chipset. Gigabyte also uses a plastic cover near the PCI-express slots while we can find solid metal heatsinks for the M.2 ports.

 

In terms of specifications, the Z390 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce is largely similar to its Z390 Xtreme brother and as such, we find little differences in the technical side. Starting off with the specs, the Z390 AORUS Xtreme Waterforce will support the most advanced AORUS design to date with the LGA 1151 socket supporting either 8th or 9th Gen processors. The CPU socket is powered by dual 8-pin connectors with a solid metal armor around them. The AORUS Xtreme Waterforce will come with a total of 16 IR Digital VRMs. The PWM design includes 16 TDA21462 60A MOSFETs and 8 IR3599 Phase Doublers.
