There is a review of the Gigabyte Z170X Gaming G1 motherboard posted today at Tech Report. For comparison purposes, you can see our evaluation here.

So, what do you do if you want an abundance of PCIe lanes, but you also want your system to sport the latest Skylake cores? Gigabyte's Z170X-Gaming G1 motherboard just so happens to tick those two boxes. Selling for $473 at Newegg right now, the Gaming G1 sits right at the top of Gigabyte's Z170 lineup.
 
The bios and especially lack of Fan controls is disappointing for such an expensive board.

If I really needed the extra PCI lanes I would go Haswell-E and avoid this kind of stuff.
