Ar there any z370 boards that do not look like crap?

The thing with RGB, is that you can make it whatever colour scheme you want.
 
I have no idea what you’re taking about. There are a ton of options that look just fine (classy even) when I google image search on z370.
 
Can you provide a picture of a similar type of board? That may help others help you out.
 
Plain jane boards will be hard to find unless you want workstation or server boards.
 
Very easily, The plastic shrouds are screwed in place and separate from the heatsinks. I've also removed the heatsinks off of a gigabyte board to remove the tin aesthetic pieces too. They are usually just adhesived on. Pull off the thermal pads carefully and place them back on the critical components and use a heat gun to loosen the tin pieces up and they come right off... once again, be sure to remove the heatsink from the board first and any plastic mounting hardware. Some alcohol rubbing to clean it up then bam, you've got a clean looking board.

Here is a review where they remove one of the shrouds:

Just screws holding it in.

Also, if you are a gamer x299 is not your ticket. The ring bus is superior on the 115X chips allowing better gaming capability.
