Use this guide to replace your Aorus X7 v2 Motherboard.
When it comes to motherboards, there are lots of different types available - like AT, ATX, LPX, BTX, Pico BTX, and Mini ITX motherboards. For gamers out there, we recommend the Asus ROG Maximus Z690 Hero for an epic gaming experience. And if you're looking for a cheaper option, try the Asus TUF Gaming X570-Plus (WI-FI).
Its recommended to replace your motherboard every 6 months to keep up with new CPU generations. But if you're not worried about the latest trends or speed, your motherboard could last you for up to a decade or more!
