The Ultimate AMD AM5 Motherboard Guide

Gigabyte X670 AORUS ELITE AX (rev. 1.0)

While we’ve moved a little more down the range now, I like to think this is more of a motherboard for people living on planet Earth. The XTREME and MASTER are awesome to behold, but overkill for all but about a few dozen people with deep pockets. The AORUS ELITE is where I’d spend my own money. It still features a twin 16+2+2 Phases Digital VRM design, with a 70A Power Stage, an 8-Layer 2X Copper PCB, Fully Covered MOSFET Heatsinks, 8 mm Mega-Heatpipe and a 7 W/mk Thermal Conductivity Pad. So while it’s not as packed as the other two, it’s hardly lacking in awesome hardware of its own, and should easily make the most of any AMD CPU and overclock you throw at it!

There’s a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 & 3 x PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 with M.2 Thermal Guard, ensuring you’ve got some super-fast storage to enjoy. There’s also a single PCIe 4.0 x16 with Ultra Durable™ Armor and 1 PCIe 4.0 x4 & 1PCIe 3.0 x2 for your GPU and other peripheral devices.

  • AMD Socket AM5: Supports AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series Processors

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
