GIGABYTE X670 Aorus Elite AX Wifi DDR5 AMD Motherboard

The Gigabyte X670 Aorus Elite AX Wi-Fi is an ATX-form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X670 chipset for AMD Socket AM5, designed to support AMD Ryzen 7000 Series processors. It measures 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm and is suited to mid-to-high-end desktop builds that demand current-generation connectivity and storage speeds. On the memory side, four DDR5 DIMM slots support dual-channel configurations with a combined capacity of up to 128 GB (32 GB per DIMM). Supported speeds include DDR5-4400, 4800, 5200, 5600, 6000, 6200, and 6400 MHz, and the board is compatible with both AMD EXPO and Intel XMP memory profiles for straightforward overclocking setup. Storage options are a highlight: one CPU-connected M.2 slot (M2A_CPU) accommodates PCIe 5.0 x4 drives in 2280 and 25110 form factors, while a second CPU-connected slot (M2B_CPU) and two chipset-connected slots (M2C_SB and M2D_SB) each support PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drives. Four SATA 6 Gb/s connectors round out the storage, and RAID 0, 1, and 10 configurations are supported for both NVMe and SATA devices. Networking is handled by a Realtek 2.5GbE LAN chip alongside an AMD Wi-Fi 6E RZ616 (MT7922A22M) wireless module supporting 802.11ax on 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz, and 6 GHz bands at up to 2.4 Gbps (160 MHz channel), plus Bluetooth 5.2. The rear I/O panel provides an HDMI 2.1 port (4096×2160 @ 60 Hz, HDCP 2.3), two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, six USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, one USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20 Gbps) support, and an RJ-45 port. Internal headers expand connectivity further with an additional USB Type-C Gen 2×2 header and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers. Audio is delivered via a Realtek HD Audio CODEC supporting up to 7.1-channel output. Power delivery uses a 16+2+2 phase digital VRM, fed by a 24-pin ATX connector and two 8-pin ATX 12V connectors. Thermal management is assisted by a Mega-Heatpipe covering the VRM and an M.2 Thermal Guard for the PCIe 5.0 M.2 slot. Fan control is managed through Gigabyte’s Smart Fan 6 system, which monitors multiple temperature sensors and supports FAN STOP on hybrid headers. Onboard LED headers include two addressable (ARGB) and two standard RGB headers. The EZ-Latch mechanism on the primary PCIe x16 slot and all M.2 connectors enables tool-free installation and removal. The Q-Flash Plus button on the rear panel allows BIOS updates without a CPU, memory, or GPU installed. The board ships with AMI UEFI BIOS (256 Mbit flash) and is managed via the Gigabyte Control Center software suite.
