Now just get some NR 1080s in! I've been wanting to buy the Aura ever since it was announced, it's getting hard to wait :) I look forward to next week. |

Haha, I know where I'll be then! I never thought I would be buying an all-in-one computer, crazy how far computers have come. |

I hope it's not a pain to ask questions here in the review thread since the review is relevant to my question, but I was curious. If I recall reading the initial announcement on the Aura, there were talks of having multiple motherboards to choose from. In this review they also seem to be using a different motherboard than what is showing as the only motherboard option in the configuration builder now, for example the motherboard they have has only 1 ethernet port and USB-C. Did something change? |

The motherboard in this review unit is the "GIGABYTE Z170N-Gaming 5" which is what we offer on the Aura. We offer two models on the Aura, this GIGABYTE model and an ASUS model.

I see. That is what I thought I read somewhere in the past, but in the configuration page I only see the option for the ASRock motherboard. That's where my confusion comes in! Edited by Vav - 01 Jul 2016 at 2:52pm |

You can pick the GIGABYTE as well, just click the modify button. If you're still having issues, please email me directly "[email protected]" with a screenshot of your browser.

This is what I see too:
![]() Only the ASRock X99E-ITX/ac model available in the change/modify options. |

The Asrock is a x99 chipset mobo and in the level 4. The other levels have the z170 chipset and the Asus, Gigabyte mobo.
Hope this helps. ![]() |
