GIGABYTE Z890 AERO G — creator layout done right

AERO G targets external-heavy workflows: rear Thunderbolt 4, Wi-Fi 7, robust front USB-C 20Gbps, and 5× M.2 with fin plates. The slot spacing leaves the GPU breathing room while giving you a lane-sane slot for capture/NIC. Sensor-driven fan control makes it trivial to tie intake to M.2 temps to prevent throttling during long writes.
