Above these slots, just off the upper-right corner of the chipset heatsink, is the debug LED.
Specifications . We sincerely hope that you are staying well during this unprecedented time when the world seems to have changed overnight. All the slots are black, with the two primary full-length PCIe slots and all four DIMM slots using metal reinforcement Gigabyte calls Ultra Durable Memory/PCIe Armor. That said, most of what you need to get started is included. X570 AORUS PRO WIFI GIGABYTE X570 motherboards offer a rich list of features such as support for PCIe 4.0 and USB Type-C interfaces on select boards, refined audio, high speed of Ethernet and the latest standard of WIFI design - to fulfill users' performance, audio, and data transfer needs. The third full-length slot is PCIe 4.0 x4 with its bandwidth supplied by the chipset. The GIGABYTE X570 AORUS PRO WiFi supports AMD’s second and third-generation RYZEN CPUs and APUs using the AM4 socket and the AMD X570 chipset. This is for activating the Q-Flash Plus which allows you to update the BIOS without having a CPU in the socket. GIGABYTE X570 motherboards offer a rich list of features such as support for PCIe 4.0 and USB Type-C™ interfaces on select boards, refined audio, high speed of Ethernet and latest standard of WIFI design, to fulfill users' performance, audio, and data transfer needs. The brushed aluminum design on the heatsink also fits the more refined aesthetic the board carries overall.In terms of style, this Aorus board has a black PCB along with black heatsinks, IO covers, and M.2 heatsinks.
At this price point (and lower), we’ve only seen boards with one or the other.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. As was mentioned this can easily be fixed with an updated BIOS.This slideshow requires JavaScript.The APP Center also contains the System Information Viewer (SIV) which is how you access the Smart Fan5 software for customizing your cooling/acoustics in Windows, this is also accessible in BIOS. For $270, you’d be hard-pressed to find a better board with better features.To the right are six SATA3 6 Gbps ports which are oriented horizontally. Above these headers, we also find a dual-pin EC sensor header and the CLR CMOS pins located above the G Connect front panel header.Also, new this time around is an AMD Overclocking section. The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi is a low-to-mid-range board that packs a lot of features for its $270 / £251 price tag. There is a lined pattern running from the bottom-left corner to the upper right, with a similar design molded in the beefy aluminum IO cover.Included is a smart headphone amp that automatically detects the impedance of your headset, setting it up properly. The VRM is divided into a 12+2 configuration, which is controlled by a quality Infineon IR35201 8-phase controller working in 6+2 form, with the CPU phases doubled by Infineon IR3599’s in doubler mode. Both M.2 slots have passive heatsinks with pre-applied thermal tape for added cooling.Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax, supporting 2.4/5 GHz Dual-BandOverclocking went quite well using a 360 mm EK Predator CLC. It has a pleasing feature set, including Wi-Fi 6 integration, front and rear USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and dual PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots (both with heatsinks), along with RGB LED highlights. On the far right of the board are three more system fan headers. Along the left side of the window is a list of shortcuts allowing quick access to Q-flash, Optimized defaults, and Smart Fan settings. The appropriateLED will stay lit during POST if there is trouble. We didn’t find anything exceptional here, but here’s a bulleted list of the other headers.Get instant access to breaking news, in-depth reviews and helpful tips.Included accessories are minimal, as is the norm now with most budget boards. Feeding power to the VRM is the required 8-pin EPS connector along with the optional 4-Pin ensuring ample power for these hungry multi-core CPUs.Turning the board over reveals the pin-out for the three full-length PCIe 4.0 slots with only the top one being x16 electrically.
The PRO WiFi starts in easy mode by default which displays the system’s stats like CPU and memory speed as well as voltages and temperatures. Outside of the USB ports, we see the Wi-Fi antenna hookups, the HDMI 2.0 port, Intel LAN port and a 5-plug plus S/PDIF optical plug for audio.The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Pro Wi-Fi proved itself to perform well in the stock testing as well overclocking, handling these stressful situations with ease. It’s joined to the multi-cut heatsink above it with a direct touch heat-pipe which is separated from the VRM with LAIRD 1.5mm thick, 5W/mK high thermal conductivity pads. Sending power to these are a required 8-pin and optional 4-pin EPS plug.©Future US, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, 15th Floor,New York,NY 10036.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.
