Review on 💻 GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Xtreme Gaming Motherboard with AMD Ryzen 5000, PCIe4.0, DDR4, Aqantia 10GbE LAN, RGB Fusion 2.0, Fins-Array Heatsink and M.2 Thermal Guard by Julio Diaz

Pros:+ Top tier feature set+ Heavily revised VRM solution+ X570 board only with passive cooling (before ASUS Dark Hero release)+ Receives timely BIOS updates in the form of new ones AGESA versions Cons: - Expensive, obviously - _slightly_ wider than standard ATX. This can complicate cable routing depending on how your case is drilled. Luckily, that seems to have been considered as the ATX power connector is on the side and the board has a notch to be a bit more tolerant of hard power cables. - Saved BIOS profiles are deleted during the update.
