AORUS motherboards are Gigabyte's most powerful ever. Featuring an aggressive and stylish design, unique innovations and durability, there is no doubt that these new AORUS solutions will meet the needs of the most demanding gamers and users.
Gigabyte motherboards with the X570 chipset push the envelope even further by offering a full PCI-Express 4.0 design for both PCIe slots for expansion cards and M.2 slots for PCIe NVMe SSDs. Ideal for demanding users and gamers looking for the best performance in all circumstances.
With Smart Fan 5, gamers can ensure that their gaming PCs stay at peak performance while staying cool. The X570 AORUS ULTRA features 7 hybrid fan connectors and 9 temperature sensors to adapt the cooling to the needs of the motherboard and components.
In addition, the AMD X570 chipset has its own fan with semi-passive mode to take advantage of the highest transfer speeds of PCI-Express 4.0 while avoiding slowdowns due to chipset temperature rise. Each PCIe NVMe SSD is pre-protected by a heatsink to maintain sustained throughput.
Gigabyte motherboards feature the RGB Fusion 2.0 LED lighting system. With a variety of customisation options and an ergonomic graphical interface through RGB Fusion 2.0, you can have a unique motherboard that suits you. You'll be able to add RGB peripherals thanks to the 4 RGB ports (2 addressable) on the motherboard. You can add RGB neon lights and fans for a unique look to your gaming PC.

High-end motherboard for a demanding configuration.
Very well built (it's Gigabyte)
Well supplied with connectors
RAS to be seen in time
A very good surprise despite my concerns about the reviews on the net.
The card is sober, the PCB is matte black in a frame of the same colour with just a discreet LED.
Its X570 chipset is now sufficiently mature and does not present any problems. Yes, it does heat up a bit but its fan never activates in my build (AMD Rysen 9 3900X) even under load.
Its UEFI bios are classic but clear.
The Wifi 6 (I really like the Aorus shark fin antenna ;-) and the Bluetooth 5, both from Intel, are obviously efficient.
The card doesn't have a lot of USB connectors but they are very varied (USB A, USB C, USB 3.1...)
The bios can be updated without a CPU.
The VRMs are numerous and of good quality.
If you overclock on a table, it will lack a Clear CMOS button and diagnostic LEDs.
On the other hand Gigabyte needs to work on its software, RGB Fusion in particular is a disaster but fortunately dispensable.
So no worries, a good X570 motherboard relatively affordable (!) and very well equipped.
I've been building my PCs since 1997 and this is the first time I've put so much money into a CM, but I didn't have much choice given the price of the x570. To upgrade an aging system, I wanted a CM that managed WifiAX, with USB-C, M2(4), quality audio, VRMs designed for 3X00s and, above all, the possibility of managing the chipset fan.
After analysing the market offer, I hesitated between the Taichi and the .... and I do not regret my choice. It's a good looking, powerful and practical device. Bios understandable and easy to use after update by Qflash (F11). I've been using it for a while now and it's a great tool to help me with my work.
My previous Asus which lasted 8 years didn't leave me the same impression of quality, this one will certainly last longer. I've had Asus, MSI, Asrock in my hands... this is my first Gygabite and the best "first impression" when unpacked and assembled.
Coupled with a 3700X, 32GB GSkill 3600cl16, a 970evo in M2 and a 1060 6GB, it's simply amazing.
