I think X570 Auros Pro WIFI and X570 I Auros Pro WIFIi (ITX)

Ah so Anand had me confused waiting for them to stock a board that doesn't exist..

The GIGABYTE X570 Aorus Elite has an MSRP of $199, while the Wi-FI 6 enabled version comes in with an MSRP of $209; that's $10 extra for the same board with an Intel AX200 802.11ax wireless interface.

Is there anything that makes the Pro stand out over the elite? Only difference I see is the IR power stage on the VRM, but I think the VRM on the elite is looking way more than adequate for any CPU for the budget conscious. I'll probably just grab the elite and a usb bluetooth adapter..

Better PCB but I'm not sure of the impact of this? I actually like the fan placement over the chipset on the elite better, seems like it'd be less blocked by a large graphics card.

Hmm I doubt the PCB would bug me, I'm guessing it's probably 4 layer vs 6 layer? If you're slapping it in a case and not putting an excessive amount of tension on it I doubt it's going to matter at all ever. You're right about that fan placement too, it would be very close to a GPU.

Pricewise I think the pick of the litter for me will still be the elite.

MSI uses 4 layer even on their $260 Pro Carbon so it's not a big deal unless you're going for memory records or something.


Main changes from Aorus Pro are:
* 6 layer PCB on Aorus Pro
* Dual BIOS chips on Aorus Pro
* ALC1200 audio codec vs ALC1220 on the Pro, with WIMA caps retained miraculously
* Better VRM heatsink with heatpipe and fin stack ---> heatpiped heatsinks cost money
* IR PWM + IR powerstages ---> IR powerstages cost about 2x -3x so that's most of the cost savings
* USB-C 3.1 gen 2 at rear (if you have a USB-A to USB-C cable then maybe you don't care about this) ... USB-C 3.1 gen2 front panel connector is retained if you need it
* SuperIO chip has to support the extra fan headers
* two EC temp headers (temperature sensor that can be remotely mounted off the board)
* PCIE metal bracing on 2nd PCIE slot
* extra M.2 heatsink
* Generally useless added 4 pin CPU power connector

Stupid question: When i set up a raid 0 on my master and update the bios, is the raid than dead? Do i have to make a backup of the raid first and then format and recreate the raid with the new bios?

Not a stupid question at all. Your raid array will survive BIOS updates and you can even transfer your array to other AMD motherboards if you want. When you update your bios just re-enable raid.

Do note if your raid away and boot drive are separated (for example I have a striped array set up for storage and my OS is on a NVMe drive separate from me array) and you update your bios and boot into windows without first re-enabled raid, when you go to re-enable it you will blue screen with "boot drive inaccessible" errors. To fix this restart into safe mode, before booting into safe mode go into bios and enable raid, let windows boot into safe mode. Login and you should see you array, restart and everything should be working correctly.

TL: DR just make sure you don't forget to re-enable raid after your bios updates lol.

I have a aorus ultra and I have mine set in the bios at [email protected]
I was wondering if there was a way to get the cpu to downclock when not under a load
as of right now it stays at 4.25 no matter the load
I've been in the Intel game too long and forgot the AMD ways,lol
I still haven figured out the different terminology yet .

Gonna be joining this club soonish, Gigabyte x570 Aorus Ultra should be passing customs tomorrow.

And the hunt for a 3900x is still ongoing.

Fast question, I got 2x1080ti will the Gigabyte Aorus SLI 1-slot spacing work on it or not?

Now that I have had my X570 Master and 3900X for a few days; I have a couple of questions mainly PBO behavior since that's all I have bothered to test as of now.

Any Ram/infinity clock under 3600mhz, I see boosts of up to 4.3 -4.55ghz on various cores (only tested 3200/3533 with 1600/1767 infinity clock). When I 3600/3733mhz with 1800/1867 Infinity Clock the cpu only seems to boost to a max of 4.25ghz; but seems to mostly maintain it on all of the cores. Now I am somewhat confused by all of this... PBO is an interesting beast. Coming from 8700K (5.2ghz)/9900K (5.1ghz) this is just far different; my last real run with Ryzen was a 1700 at launch.

Now, games play well on this CPU minus BFV which seems to have quite a few hiccups while playing. Just grasping for some info is all; most of my changes were only toward power limits in the PBO settings while I left most things on auto since I feel rather lost with settings right now.

@GBT-MatthewH .. all my downclock, downvolt, boost problems were *magically* solved after i installed a AIO, instead of the stock cooler...
The CPU now downclocks, downvolts, and boosts properly (up to 4.5ghz) .. as a added bonus it doesnt sound like a jet trying to take off, and the temperatures are much better :)


EDIT: Spoke too soon, my ram was set to auto with XMP ... it looks like if you clock the RAM manually (i have it running at 3600MHZ CL14, the CPU doesnt downvolt, or downclock properly..()

I'd say it's probably a bug in the AGESA code and not the BIOS, Because past 3600 is when FCLK isn't 1:1 with the memory clock.

In case anyone was wondering, the PCIE 4.0 Aorus NvME drive does fit on the ITx board with the chipset fan heatsink
