GIGABYTE X570 GAMING X

Avoid the itx tax and join the golden land of SFF pc gaming for cheap (140 USD at the time of purchase) with this motherboard. Gigabyte gets a bad rep but having used two of their X570 motherboards (this one and the X570 UD) it seems they've gotten their act together; both have been rock solid and killer value. I'm using this itx board with a ryzen 5 5600 and 32gb of ddr4 3200 MTS ram. Q-flash was a breeze and allowed me to flash the bios to the latest version without a cpu or ram installed, and the ram loaded up XMP just fine, although I wasn't able to push past 3200 CL18 on either the timings or the frequency. Overall a great value itx board, especially given that it uses the premium X570 chipset yet still is under 150 USD.

Purchased: 14 August 2019 for £189.38. From seller: Amazon EU S.a.r.L. Pros: Good efficient VRM, Q-flash (which turned out to be pretty helpful for using a R5 2600), good price, due to less unnecessary features for most users. Cons: Single BIOS, No Debug LEDs or Postcode. - (not really an issue for most users). Buildzoid says"this VRM is great" and "at heavy overclocks on the 12 core or the 16 core this VRM will handle that just fine with the heatsink that it comes with" I don't want to quote or mention loads of things that I myself am not exceedingly knowledgeable in, so I will just recommend that you go and watch Buildzoid's Motherboard Analysis, should you want to overclock or just want in-depth info about the motherboard etc. If you're just going to run stock CPU etc, then you don't even need to think about VRM. As long as you don't care about debugging LEDs or Postcode, it's a good motherboard. It should be one of the best price vs performance options. It doesn't support 1st Gen Ryzen, so keep that in mind, upgrade your CPU before your motherboard as I believe Gen 3 Ryzen is supported on some b350 and x370 motherboards (just make sure to check your current one is supported), so that may be a better option for you first, if you can't upgrade both at the same time. Helpful to glance at, product spec info: Memory: 4 x DDR4 DIMM sockets supporting up to 128 GB (32 GB single DIMM capacity). Lan: Intel Gigabit LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) - Max speed I can get for Fibre in my area is 76MB (0.6Gbit), so not an issue until I can get 125MB+ DL speed. USB: Ports on the back panel: 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports (red) & x4 USB2.0/1.1 Available through the internal USB header: 1 x USB Type-C port with USB 3.2 Gen 2 support, 4 x USB 3.2 Gen 1, (Chipset+2 USB 2.0 Hubs:) 4 x USB 2.0/1.1 ports. Storage: 2 x M.2 connector / 6 SATA (I'm not 100% sure, but I think if you utilise the m.2 slots, some SATA is disabled (i.e. 2 x M.2 = Sata 5 & 6 being disabled), please correct me if this is wrong). Will update with pictures etc when I have time. And will update if I experience any issues. Update: I'm using a Ryzen 2600, couldn't use BIOS at first, mouse not working, registering multiple and incorrect key presses etc. Used Q-Flash Plus and updated BIOS to version "F3" which then worked. I then updated to version "F4j". RAM was running at 2133MHz, activating XMP, RAM then worked at specified speed of 3000MHz and Cl 16 etc, haven't had any issues so it seems stable, haven't tried overclocking CPU, GPU or RAM yet. Will update if I have issues with overclocking. Currently using Ubuntu 18.04. other than having to update BIOS had no issues, Linux compatible games worked without any effort (though had some issues with Mad Max, but I believe that is because the game doesn't support Vega GPUs, rather than an issue with Ubuntu), Valve's Proton seems to work quite well on the games I've tried so far, DOOM so far works perfectly without any fiddling and other games, such as Kingdom Come Deliverance work with a little fiddling and manually downloading proton updates. AORUS ELITE BIOS updates: "F3" (First Release AGESA 1.0.0.3 for Matisse / Pinnacle / Picasso CPU support) - if you're using Ryzen 2000 series (Pinnacle Ridge), you'll probably need to flash the BIOS to this version for it to work like I needed to. "F4g" (Update AGESA 1.0.0.3AB, Add Three Profiles for PCH Fan (Silent/ Balance/ Performance mode), "F4j" (Update AGESA 1.0.0.3 ABB, Improve Destiny 2 gaming compatibility, Improve XMP DDR compatibility) - I updated the BIOS to this version before I tried activating XMP, so you may need to update to this version if XMP doesn't work for your RAM. Go to the Gigabyte website, go to Motherboard > X570 AORUS ELITE, then navigate from there. For how to use Q-Flash Plus, scroll down to AORUS Ultra Durable and follow the instructions For BIOS go to Support > Downloads > BIOS System: CPU - Ryzen 2600, GPU - Vega 56 Pulse, RAM - G.Skill Trident Z RGB 3000MHz C16 8GB x 2 (16GB), PSU - 650W Seasonic PRIME Ultra, SSD - Samsung 860 500GB, HDD - WD Black 2TB and of course, X570 AORUS ELITE

Tudo o que eu queria.

Värdig ersättare.... första Gigabyte bräda jag köpt har kört Asus men priserna var galna så detta verkade ha allt jag behövde till bra pris och jag är väldigt nöjd hitintills det första intrycket är kvalitet när man öppnar lådan tar ut kortet så känns det tungt och robust lätt att uppdatera bios allt bara bra tills jag försökte ställa pump/fläkt kurvor i bios vilket är "stelt" jämfört med Asus men vem vet en uppdatering av bios och allt är ok
