Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite, AMD X570 Motherboard - Socket AM4 [X570 Aorus Elite]

PCIe 4.0 is backwards compatible and can be used with all previous generations of expansion cards. Each PCIe 4.0 lane has twice the data transfer rate compared to PCIe 3.0, so an NVMe SSD connected via four PCIe 4.0 lanes can achieve a theoretical read / write speed of up to 7.8 GB / s. Each motherboard with the X570 chipset is also suitable for all other AMD CPU series for the socket AM4.

Attention: The following PCIe lane specifications, M.2 slot connectivity and PCIe slot connectivity refers to the combination of the X570 chipset with a third generation Ryzen CPU (Ryzen 3000 / Zen 2 / Matisse) !

The features of the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite motherboard at a glance:
- Extensive RGB LED lighting
- A total of 5 RGB LED headers for connecting z. B. RGB strips
- DDR4 memory up to 3,200 MHz, using RAM-OC up to 4,000 MHz
- 1x M.2 slot with x4 PCIe 4.0 connection directly to the CPU
- 1 additional M.2 slot with PCIe 4.0 x4 connection via the chipset
- 2x PCIe 4.0 x16 slots for high-end graphics cards
- USB on the I / O panel: 4x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0 Type A / 2x USB 3.1 Type A
- Internal USB ports: 4x USB 2.0 / 4x USB 3.0 / 1x USB 3.1 Type C
- A total of 4x 4-pin PWM headers for fans and pumps

The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite in detail:
The Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite motherboard in ATX format has extensive RGB LED lighting on the left side of the board and the cover on the I / O panel. The lighting can be controlled via the manufacturer's RGB Fusion 2 software. Additional RGB LED components can be connected and controlled via three 4-pin RGB (12V) headers and two 3-pin digitally addressable RGB headers (5V), as long as they are compatible with the motherboard's RGB software.

For graphics cards, two PCIe 4.0 slots are available in x16 format. One of them is directly connected to the Ryzen 3000 processor via a total of 16 PCIe 4.0 lanes. The other PCIe x16 slot is connected to the chipset via 4 lanes (PCIe 4.0 at Ryzen 3000, PCIe 3.0 for all predecessor generations). For plug-in and expansion cards there are also two PCIe-x1 slots available.
Faster connections thanks to PCI-Express 4.0
The Ryzen 3000 CPUs provide four PCIe 4.0 lanes for direct connection to NVMe SSDs. This X570 motherboard uses these four lanes to connect a single M.2 slot to NVMe SSDs. In addition to another M.2 slot with x4 connection, six SATA 6G ports are also provided via the X570 chipset.

On the I / O panel, the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite offers two USB 3.1 ports with Type A female connector. USB 3.1 or USB 3.1 Gen 2 achieves maximum speeds of 10 Gbps per port, and USB ports with this standard typically support the fast-charging feature of smartphones and tablets. In addition, four USB 3.0 and one USB 2.0 ports are provided on the I / O panel.

Furthermore, this X570 motherboard offers features such as Gigabit LAN (Intel I211AT), on-board sound (Realtek ALC1200 audio codec), a reinforced PCIe slot and numerous internal headers. Bo (a) rd also includes OC features, an optimized power supply and support for RAM kits up to 4,000 MHz.
