GIGABYTE X570SI Aorus Pro AX DDR4 AMD Motherboard

The Gigabyte X570SI Aorus Pro AX is a Mini-ITX form-factor motherboard built on the AMD X570 chipset, designed for AMD Socket AM4 processors. It supports the full AMD Ryzen 2000 through Ryzen 5000 series lineup — including G-Series APUs — making it a versatile platform for compact, high-performance builds where every millimetre counts. At the heart of its power delivery is a Twin 8+2 Phase Digital VRM solution featuring 90A Smart Power Stage components. This robust configuration ensures stable, clean power to demanding Ryzen processors even under sustained workloads. Cooling is managed via groove-designed, multi-layered heatsinks over the chipset and an M.2 Thermal Guard III with heatpipe to keep NVMe drives operating at optimal temperatures. Storage is well-served with two M.2 Socket 3 connectors (type 2280): the CPU-connected M2A slot supports PCIe 4.0 x4 with Ryzen 5000 and 3000 Series CPUs, while the chipset-connected M2B slot also supports PCIe 4.0 x4 (Ryzen 5000/3000 Series). Both slots include thermal shielding. Four SATA 6 Gb/s ports add flexibility with RAID 0, 1, and 10 support. Connectivity is a standout feature in this compact board. Networking is handled by an Intel 2.5GbE LAN chip with cFosSpeed traffic-shaping software. Wireless is provided by Intel Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4/5 GHz, up to 2.4 Gbps on 160 MHz) with Bluetooth 5.2 on PCB rev. 1.0, and AMD Wi-Fi 6E (RZ608, 2.4/5/6 GHz) with Bluetooth 5.2 on PCB rev. 1.1. The rear I/O includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (red) port, and four USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports. Audio is powered by the Realtek ALC1220-VB codec alongside Nichicon audio capacitors, supporting 7.1-channel output and DTS:X Ultra. RGB Fusion 2.0 enables multi-zone addressable LED customisation via one ARGB header and one RGB LED strip header. Q-Flash Plus allows BIOS updates without a CPU, memory, or graphics card installed — a practical convenience during builds.
