About this deal

The bottom portion of the board is taken over by the large chipset and M.2 heatsink, located just above the full-length PCIe 4.0 x16 slot. Using the latest BIOS (F4j), the chipset fan remained quiet during our testing and kept the chipset at reasonable temperatures. Looking closely at the top half of the board, we start off on the left with the aluminum IO cover and VRM heatsinks. The left left VRM heatsink uses a finned style, while the top uses a tacting more about mass than surface to remove the heat. This configuration makes sense considering the SOC portion, which will output less heat, is located on the top set of VRMs, while the left side is all CPU. Sending power to these are a required 8-pin and optional 4-pin EPS plug. Source: Rich Edmonds / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Rich Edmonds / Windows Central) You should buy this if ... Last, to the left of the chipset heatsink is the front audio header, along with a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) header.

As well as the X570 chipset and PCIe 4.0 support for the latest GPUs and M.2 SSDs, Gigabyte added four SATA ports for 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch drives, Intel AX200 for Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5, multiple USB 3.0 ports on the rear, and passive cooling for the voltage regulator modules. There's also active cooling via a fan for the X570 chipset. Compatible Processeurs AMD Ryzen™ Séries 5000 / 5000 G / 4000 G / Ryzen™ 3e Gen / Ryzen™ 2nd Gen / Ryzen™ 2nd Gen avec Radeon™ Vega Graphics / Ryzen™ avec Radeon™ Vega Graphics We're using a motherboard that can take some serious power through the X570 chipset and configured power delivery design so the Ryzen 9 5950X was a great choice. To accompany the AMD CPU, we installed 32GB of Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR4 RAM, RTX 3080 from ASUS, and a PCIe 4.0 Sabrent M.2 SSD.

Gigabyte's answer for powerful compact AMD PC builds.

Located across the top are three (of seven total) fan headers, with a system fan to the left of the VRM heatsink and to the right, two CPU fans headers. On the far right of the board are three more system fan headers. All fan/pump headers on the X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi are of the 4-pin variety and will control both DC and PWM devices using the company’s Smart Fan 5 software. Seven headers is the most I’ve seen on a board of this class.Frankly, it’s more than I’ve seen on plenty of more-expensive boards as well.

We didn’t find anything exceptional here, but here’s a bulleted list of the other headers. For full-size boards, we normally split it up into the top and bottom half and focus on each. But with a Mini-ITX board, there really isn’t a point as the board is so small.

AMD X570 AORUS Motherboard with 12+2 Phases IR Digital VRM, Fins-Array Heatsink & Direct Touch Heatpipe, Dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 with Thermal Guards, Intel ® WiFi 6 802.11ax, Intel ® GbE LAN with cFosSpeed, USB Type-C, RGB Fusion 2.0 To the right are six SATA3 6 Gbps ports which are oriented horizontally. These ports support RAID 0, 1, and RAID 10. Above these slots, just off the upper-right corner of the chipset heatsink, is the debug LED. There are four LEDs on the board for CPU, DRAM, VGA, and BOOT. The appropriateLED will stay lit during POST if there is trouble. If the motherboard doesn’t come with a two character debug LED like we saw on the Biostar X570GT8, these are the next best thing to have for figuring out what went wrong on boot. Given the general decline of the beep code speaker, some kind of visual debug indicator is a key feature to look for on any board.

You work at BID, what a legend.

In the graphics department, no card on the market has saturated even PCIe 3.0 yet, at least in the x16 configuration. The largest immediate benefit is with high-speed storage. NVMe drives in RAID configurations can and will take advantage of the extra bandwidth to push never before seen sequential read and write speeds. With your average game, even the switch from SATA to NVMe can be hard to notice, let alone to an even faster and more expensive RAID array. This is more relevant for content creation and media production, where high-speed storage can save significant time and therefore money, which is further bolstered by the near-HEDT core counts on the high-end Ryzen 3000 CPUs. Of course, graphics cards will eventually catch up as well, so for the discerning gamer who only upgrades every three to five years, the new standard could prove a good investment. Both the PCIe and DIMM slots are reinforced by Gigabyte’s Ultra Durable PCIe and Memory Armor, protecting the slots from heavy components. The chipset heatsink itself has a lined portion as well as brushed-aluminum styling, which shows off the familiar Aorus falcon branding. RGB illumination comes from eight LEDs on the right side of the board and is controlled by the company’s RGB Fusion 2.0 software. Smart Fan 5 cuenta con múltiples sensores de temperatura, cabezales de ventilador híbridos con FAN STOP Just above this is the front panel USB 3.1 Gen 2 header for fast chassis connected USB connectivity. In somewhat of a rare find in this class motherboard, we find both rear IO and front panel 3.1 Gen 2 headers. At this price point (and lower), we’ve only seen boards with one or the other. Also in that area is the second fan header. Note that either fan header supports both PWM- or DC- controlled devices. We would like to have seen one more fan header on the board, but again, space is tight. Any connected fans can be controlled through the Smart Fan 5 software in Windows or from the BIOS. Both worked without issue in our testing.After setting up XMP for the RAM, it was time for some benchmarks and stress testing. The Kraken X53 is more than capable of handling this CPU, and we managed to achieve solid results in PC Mark among other test suites. Gaming was absolutely fine and well within expectations for the GPU and CPU combination. The motherboard had no issue keeping up. Moving to the bottom half of the board, we can see the audio bits, PCIe and M.2, as well as the chipset cooler and SATA ports. Starting with the audio, the Realtek ALC1220-VB chip is hidden beneath the Amp-Up Audio faraday cage, while below it in and to the right are the what the company calls high-end audio caps with the Chemicon in yellow and WIMA FKP2 capacitors. Around the PCIe slots are two M.2 slots, with each having its own heatsink. Both support PCIe 4.0 x4 and SATA M.2 modules up to 110mm in length. Due to the available bandwidth on this platform, using both M.2 slots in either mode does not affect the SATA ports. One thing I would like to have seen here, since there are only two M.2 locations, is for the second slot to be moved down so it doesn’t get the full wrath of the video card’s heat output as it will in its current position with a dual slot (or greater) video card installed. ALC1220-VB Mejora de 114dB (posterior) / 110dB (frontal) SNR en micrófono con capacitores de audio WIMA Included accessories are minimal, as is the norm now with most budget boards. That said, most of what you need to get started is included. Here’s a list of what ships in the box, along with the board.
