Gigabyte X570S Aorus Elite AX Motherboard

Gigabyte X570S Aorus Elite AX Motherboard:

The Gigabyte X570S Aorus Elite AX Motherboard is a high-performance ATX motherboard built around the AMD X570S chipset, designed to support AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series, 5000 G-Series, 4000 G-Series, 3000 Series, 3000 G-Series, 2000 Series, and 2000 G-Series Processors. The “S” in X570S signifies a silent chipset design, meaning it operates without an active cooling fan on the chipset, contributing to a quieter system. This motherboard is engineered for enthusiasts, gamers, and content creators seeking robust power delivery, advanced thermal solutions, and cutting-edge connectivity.

Key Features for Unparalleled Performance and Connectivity:

The X570S Aorus Elite AX boasts a Twin 12+2 Phase Digital Power Design with 60A DrMOS, ensuring stable and precise power delivery to the CPU, which is crucial for maximizing the potential of AMD Ryzen processors, especially during overclocking. Its advanced thermal design includes fully covered MOSFET heatsinks with high coverage and thick 5 W/mK thermal conductivity pads, along with three M.2 Thermal Guards, to effectively dissipate heat and prevent throttling under heavy workloads. The Smart Fan 6 system provides comprehensive control over cooling with multiple temperature sensors and hybrid fan headers, allowing for precise fan curve adjustments and a Fan Stop feature for silent operation.

For storage, the motherboard is equipped with three M.2 connectors, all supporting PCIe 4.0/3.0 x4 NVMe SSDs, providing ultra-fast storage options. The primary M.2 slot is integrated with the CPU for direct PCIe 4.0 support with compatible Ryzen processors. Additionally, it offers six SATA 6Gb/s connectors with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support. The motherboard features a Full PCIe 4.0 Design, including reinforced PCIe 4.0 x16 slots, ensuring high bandwidth for the latest graphics cards and expansion cards.

Connectivity is a major highlight, featuring an AMD WiFi 6E 802.11ax & BT 5.2 module, which provides gigabit wireless performance with a dedicated 6GHz band for less interference and superior network capacity. It also includes a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip for incredibly fast wired network connections. The rear I/O panel offers a wide array of USB ports, including a USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 Type-C® port for up to 20 Gb/s transfer speeds, multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, and USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports.

The X570S Aorus Elite AX supports Dual Channel DDR4 RAM across four DIMM sockets, with a maximum capacity of 128GB and support for speeds up to DDR4-5400+ MHz (O.C.) through optimized daisy-chain routing and XMP profiles. The AMP-UP Audio Solution with Realtek ALC1220-VB codec and audiophile-grade WIMA capacitors delivers a rich and immersive audio experience. Finally, RGB FUSION 2.0 allows for extensive customization of multi-zone addressable LED lighting across the motherboard and compatible peripherals.
