I like the idea of LED's but hate the cute way most get implemented. Vendors could make them all functional with a little effort. Change colors due to CPU temps, backlight ports and even change color on said back light when something gets plugged in. Color code audio ports with light. Im sure Im missing some. I actually don't mind being able to see into my case to check for dust bunnies or make sure fans are spinning without opening the case up.
good question. All i can tell u is that its derived from Horus (ancient Egypt). I know bc Gigabyte mentioned it in one of their early vidz. As far as what that thing is, likely a jaw resembling letter G, i dont believe its in arm.
The eagle is shaking his fist. Aorus (Horus) is a man with an eagle head, that's why he has arms and not wings. And he's shaking his fist because he's a bad-ass.
Yeh what Andychow said. Horus with the fist and bicep. He's such a badass that he's now stopped battling Set but is sponsoring SSDs instead. Because.... badass.
I wonder if Gigabyte has any plans to offer the heatsink alone. I have the Z390 Aorus Pro Wifi, but have no plans to replace my 500gb Samsung 950 Pro M.2 anytime soon. Would be nice to see this released as a stand-alone accessory.
Even if they did, what good would it do? The 2 corner mounting holes are not standard for M.2. You'd have to ziptie or glue or somehow else attach the HS to your SSD.
Well obviously if they released it as a stand-alone component they would have to make it compatible with standard M.2 drives...I don't know how that doesn't go without saying but I guess I had to say it...
My motherboard places the m.2 slot behind the GPU (just so it can bask in the heat of my Vega64), so this would be pointless, even if I cared about lights. The only reason I mention it is that it's a Gigabyte Aorus motherboard... D'oh!
It is getting ridiculous. When I was buying RAM all I could get was stuff with ludicrous fairy lights on. I mean what functioning adult wants the inside of his PC to look like a pixies acid disco!
Have there been any issues with the heat of the LEDs causing drive performance or unresponsiveness? I saw some frightening things about the HyperX Fury RGB SSD on YouTube.

At this point I think I'd pay a bit extra to NOT have non-functional LEDs on my computer hardware.FreckledTrout - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

Or allow them to be Activity LEDs. :( None of the software implementations seem to allow this.CheapSushi - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

Sorry, a bit off topic but seems the perfect place to ask. What is that below the eagles head? An arm? A huge jaw?Hxx - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

An arm. Specifically,. a well-toned right arm, ready to go. Does Gigabyte know the types of people that want RBG on their M.2 drives or what?Death666Angel - Thursday, April 11, 2019 - link
It's an ice skating eagle head, obviously.ShieTar - Thursday, April 18, 2019 - link
Staple remover. The logo emphasises the dual focus of Gigabyte on workplace functionality and animal decapitation.Thud2 - Wednesday, April 10, 2019 - link

I think the term for this sort of LED bling should be referred to as "Incel lighting"WelshBloke - Sunday, April 14, 2019 - link
