GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Pro Wifi DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Pro WiFi is a full-size ATX motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset for Socket AM4, designed to support 3rd Generation AMD Ryzen processors as well as 2nd Generation AMD Ryzen and Ryzen with Radeon Vega Graphics processors. Measuring 30.5 cm x 24.4 cm, it fits standard ATX chassis and pairs premium power delivery with modern connectivity to meet the demands of enthusiast builders and overclockers. At the heart of its power delivery is a 12+2 phase all-IR digital VRM using PowIRstage MOSFETs and a fully digital PWM controller capable of supplying up to 480 A total to the CPU. The board provides an 8-pin plus a 4-pin ATX 12V CPU power input for maximum headroom. Thermal management relies on a Fins-Array heatsink combined with a Direct Touch heatpipe across the VRM area, while the X570 chipset fan operates in selectable Silent, Balanced, or Performance modes. Memory support spans four DDR4 DIMM slots in dual-channel configuration with a maximum capacity of 128 GB (32 GB per DIMM). With a 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU installed, speeds up to DDR4-4400 (O.C.) are supported; 2nd Gen Ryzen tops out at DDR4-3600 (O.C.). XMP profiles and ECC unbuffered DIMMs are also supported subject to CPU compatibility. Storage is handled by two M.2 Socket 3 (M-key) connectors accepting 2242, 2260, 2280, and 22110 form factors. The CPU-connected M.2 slot supports PCIe 4.0 x4 with a 3rd Gen Ryzen CPU, while the chipset M.2 slot also operates at PCIe 4.0 x4 with that same CPU class. Both slots include thermal guards. Six SATA 6 Gb/s ports round out storage with support for RAID 0, 1, and 10. Expansion slots include two x16 physical CPU slots running at PCIe 4.0 x16/x8 with 3rd Gen Ryzen, plus one chipset PCIe 4.0 x4 slot and two PCIe x1 slots. SLI and CrossFire multi-GPU configurations are supported with compatible CPUs. Wireless connectivity is provided by an Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) 2T2R module with 2.4/5 GHz dual-band support and up to 2.4 Gbps theoretical data rate, alongside Bluetooth 5.0. Wired networking uses an Intel Gigabit Ethernet controller paired with cFosSpeed software. The rear panel also includes a USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, HDMI 2.0 (4K60 Hz), optical S/PDIF output, and five audio jacks. Onboard audio leverages the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec delivering 114 dB SNR on the rear output and 110 dB SNR on the front microphone input, supported by WIMA FKP2 and Chemicon audio capacitors and 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel output with S/PDIF. RGB FUSION 2.0 manages multi-zone addressable LED lighting with two addressable LED headers and two standard RGB LED headers. Smart Fan 5 provides hybrid fan control across multiple temperature-sensor-driven headers including water-pump headers with FAN STOP capability. The BIOS uses dual 128 Mbit flash with AMI UEFI and DualBIOS protection, and Q-Flash Plus allows BIOS updates without a CPU, memory, or GPU installed.
