GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Ultra Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra WiFi DDR4 is a full-sized ATX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset for the AM4 socket. It is designed to support 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors as well as 2nd Generation AMD Ryzen and select Ryzen processors with Radeon Vega Graphics, making it a capable platform for AMD-based desktop builds ranging from gaming rigs to enthusiast workstations. At the heart of the board's power delivery is a 12+2 phase digital VRM solution using Infineon PowIRstage components, paired with an advanced thermal design. The Fins-Array heatsink increases heat dissipation surface area compared to conventional heatsinks of the same size, while a Direct Touch Heatpipe transfers heat away from the MOSFET area. High thermal conductivity pads from LAIRD (1.5mm, 5W/mK) assist in moving heat efficiently under sustained loads. Storage connectivity is a standout feature: the board provides three M.2 slots (M2A, M2B, and M2C), all Socket 3, M-key. With a 3rd Gen Ryzen processor installed, M2A supports PCIe 4.0 x4, while M2B and M2C also support PCIe 4.0 x4 via the chipset. Six SATA 6Gb/s ports are also available, with support for RAID 0, 1, and 10. All three M.2 slots come with individual thermal guards to manage drive temperatures. Wireless connectivity is handled by an Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) module supporting dual-band 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz operation with a 2T2R antenna configuration, up to 2.4 Gbps theoretical data rate (environment-dependent), and Bluetooth 5.0. Wired networking is provided by an Intel Gigabit LAN chip with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping software bundled. Audio is delivered through the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec with WIMA FKP2 and Chemicon audio capacitors. The codec supports up to 7.1-channel HD audio, with a rear microphone SNR of 114 dB(A) and front microphone SNR of 110 dB(A). DSD audio output is supported on the rear line-out jack, and S/PDIF optical output is available on the back panel. The board supports up to 128 GB of DDR4 memory across four DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration. With 3rd Gen Ryzen, DDR4 speeds up to 4400 MHz (O.C.) are supported. ECC Unbuffered and non-ECC Unbuffered DIMMs are both compatible, as is XMP. Expansion includes two CPU-connected PCIe x16 slots (PCIe 4.0 at x16/x8 with 3rd Gen Ryzen) and one chipset-connected PCIe x16 slot running at x4, plus two PCIe x1 slots. Multi-GPU configurations via AMD CrossFireX and NVIDIA SLI are supported with 2nd/3rd Gen Ryzen CPUs. RGB Fusion 2.0 manages onboard and external addressable LED strips (5 V, up to 300 LEDs) and standard RGB headers. Smart Fan 5 provides hybrid PWM/DC fan control with dedicated water-pump headers and multiple temperature sensor inputs. The board also features Gigabyte's DualBIOS for redundant firmware protection and Q-Flash Plus for BIOS updates without a CPU or memory installed.
