On April 30 at 10:00 AM PST/1:00 PM EST, Gigabyte will broadcast a special event called "AORUS Direct" on its YouTube channel. Specific details are still unknown, but it is likely that something big will be announced.

Gigabyte makes laptop equipment and custom graphics cards, but is best known for its large selection of motherboards and may show off a brand new motherboard on April 30.

This could be exciting news for PC gamers. As the backbone of a computer, the motherboard is one of the most important parts of any rig. And as one of the largest motherboard manufacturers, Gigabyte has taken advantage of its size to offer a wide variety of boards. Not only do modern motherboards come in a variety of sizes, from huge EATX boards to smaller Mini-ITX boards, but the feature set continues to expand, with USB Type-C ports, M.2 slots, integrated Wi-Fi, and even RGB LED lighting control.

Overclocking remains popular, and performance-focused boards are equipped with special cooling and support for faster RAM to maximize their performance potential. Based on past performance, whatever Gigabyte offers in its new lineup of motherboards should be quite interesting.

Don't forget to save the date and time so you can catch the AORUS Direct stream. If a great motherboard is announced, you won't want to miss it. If you can't make it, don't worry - after the stream ends, you'll see a recovery highlighting all the information you need.
