Gigabyte X570S AORUS ELITE AX (Socket AM4) DDR4 ATX Motherboard

Product Information

Last, along the right edge are six SATA ports capable of RAID0, 1, and 10. Just below that is a front-panel USB 3.1 Gen1 header for more USB ports. Supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ Ryzen™ 5000 G-Series/ Ryzen™ 4000 G-Series/ Ryzen™ 3000 Series/ Ryzen™ 3000 G-Series/ Ryzen™ 2000 Series/ Ryzen™ 2000 G-Series Processors

Shifting focus to the bottom half on the left side, we start with the audio section. Hidden under the shroud is a premium Realtek ALC1220-VB codec, along with gold Nichicon and red WIMA audio caps. Most users should find the audio quality to be plenty good for typical use. Creators after pristine audio may want to upgrade to professional audio hardware.AMD never announced the X570S chipset officially. Neither you will be able to find its specifications on the web. However, all of a sudden, manufacturers started to release X570S compatible motherboards. What was the difference? That “S” refers to “Silent” because they incorporate passive cooling (aluminum heatsinks, mostly). Premium Thermal Solution: Aluminum cover, MOSFET thermal pads rated for 7W/mK, additional choke thermal pads and 3x M.2 Shield Frozr are built for high performance system and non-stop gaming experience The AMD X570 boards have passed their maturity stage in the market, and therefore have a more comprehensive price point, despite having an additional element (the fan) in comparison with the X570S. Jumping down to the bottom half of the board, we’ll start with the audio, located on the left side. Hidden under the shroud is the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec. This flagship-class audio includes an ESS Sabre Hi-Fi 9118 DAC for headphones along with Chemicon and WIMA audio capacitors. Also visible is the audio separation line keeping the rest of the motherboard away from the audio bits. Although the codec used is from the last generation, it’s one of the best available and performs well enough for many users.

Those 11W caused an extra load in the cooling performance of the X570 motherboards, so the solution was to incorporate a fan that actively cools the chipset. This solution brought with it another problem: The fan, although small in size, was generating too much noise. Supports AMD Ryzen 5000 series, 5000 G-series, 4000 G-series, 3000 series, 3000 G-series, 2000 series and 2000 G-series desktop processors Smart Fan 6 Features Multiple Temperature Sensors , Hybrid Fan Headers with FAN STOP and Noise Detection Supports AMD Ryzen™ 5000 Series/ Ryzen™ 4000 G Series/ Ryzen™ 3000 Series/ Ryzen™ 3000 G Series/ Ryzen™ 2000 Series/

The Z690 chipset is readily available, and it has PCIe 5.0 and DDR5 support. Seeing these things happening in the market makes you want to hold on even harder to those “old” models that still perform well despite their apparent limitations.

All headers support both PWM and DC control, each delivering up to 2A/24W of power. This configuration should be enough to power your watercooling loop directly from the board. You can control the devices through the BIOS or the company’s Smart Fan 6 application. Just to the right of these fan headers are the first (of two each in total) RGB and ARGB headers. Unless you are stressed or bothered by the noise (which is really marginal) from the motherboard fans, it doesn’t make much sense to go with the X570S motherboard paying the extra cost for it. X570 vs X570S: Platform Life The AMD X570 chipset, was focused on desktop platform and for enthusiasts having a Ryzen 5000 or 3000. It was presented as the introductory step into PCI-Express 4.0 support in all its glory. However, the X470 chipset already came with PCIe 4.0 compatibility.There’s a flipside to that, though. AM4 is in the twilight of its venerable career. We’re casting an eye towards Zen 4, Alder Lake, and DDR5. There’s always something over the horizon though. But if you’re coming from something older, such as a B350 or Z170 system, and you need more cores or PCIe 4.0 support, you'll see a huge jump indeed. We’d like to have a 5G option at this price. Additionally, the non-S Aorus Master had dual LAN. A second may be desirable for some but now that Wi-Fi 6 and 6E is becoming widespread, dual LAN and Gigabit in particular is not as important as it once was. Across the bottom are several headers, including RGB, USB, and more. Below is a complete list from left to right:
