Thanks for the valuble info.I did not know why I only had 4 sata ports working,Thanks now I know that they share lanes with one of the Nvme drives.Great review.Either or.
Love those detailed motherboard reviews (even if I will never buy one since it's ridiculously expensive) And oh btw 12:15 you shouldn't put your mobo on an antistatic bag since they sometimes contains static (on the outside) which ain't great for anything electronic.
Thanks for watching. Yeah it's quite pricey, but it was on a decent sale. Wouldn't have bought it at the original price. Ahh I'll keep that in mind for the future, thanks!
Thank you. Great review. Covered all I needed. My MSI Tomahawk X570 board died and was still under warranty, so I need to pick a replacement board out the limited choices now available locally.
I am using this MB for over a year. Debug thing is not a thing I am interested in. Neither an RGB, because I need my PC to work, not blink so I have a non-transparent beQuiet case (it's just my preference and perspective). WRT cooling - I am using beQuiet fan and it just works, no issues. I am sorry for everyone having issues with their mounting kits though - this one could be an issue. In my MB I have one RTX GPU in 16x slot and a network card with two 1Gbit RJ45 ports in 4x slot. I have also some SSD and HDD connected - using all the available connectivity. And there comes one issue you haven't noticed: connecting SATA cables to MB is impossible without removing the GPU. And it's very hard to remove the GPU properly when there are already those SATA cables in place. Not a very huge issue because you are doing it once per years but a real PITA when you are doing your build. Nothing got broken, ports are working for me, no issues. I would recommend purchasing this MB if you are determined to have AM4 build however in 2023 this may not be the best idea. I purchased this one at the end of 2021 and I shared my reluctance to wait for AM5 because of cost, time and lack of seasoned components. Overall: for my professional (not gaming) purposes, this MB is fan-tastic (yeah, cooling is great, I have all the fan ports used to cool down the PC). X570S does not require an extra fan for the chipset and the amount of ports on the MB gave me enough options to achieve my goal. I am literally using every PCI lane available. I would give it 9/10 for professional usage because of the GPU/cable mounting issue. For RGB people it may not be that great, but I don't care (even when I run games, I don't need blinks; I have my monitor to generate light, not my fans/ram/whatever). For gaming it's also a great MB, but IMO a bit of an overkill - you don't need that much connectivity and options. I would look for something cheaper just because it would be a waste. And last but not least: if you are using dual GPU (e.g. for calculations), this MB supports them (even as PCI 8x - but it does). I am running single GPU though so can't really comment on that more.
I just did some investigating my board after finally getting it and being able to install it. First off I noticed the ceramic chokes?, around the cpu socket... They did not contact the inclined and white flat heatsinks. Oddly enough, there was thermal pads there too. Also. I noticed the large heatsink above the gpu slot puts a lot of stress and a noticeable bend on any m.2 I installed there. I took the thermal pad off so I could install the heatsink for aesthetics. -.-
actually top ssd heatsing under cpu is interfering with LT 720 WH AIO mounting mechanism too but slight grinding resolved it🤭and rgb issue i don't think it's affecting G.Skill well i don't saw any issues at least...AM5 it was expensive at launch but it's still sometimes a total piece of **** when comes to RAM compatibility but also it depends on MB but they still don't fully fixed it i am so glad for going LGA 1700
After a few months, my LAN card died, the LED is on, but the computer does not detect the network card, support tells me to send the board back, which means losing the computer while it is being repaired, it's a tragedy, they should have offered a replacement board. board is great in theory, but in practice it's not I recommend it due to the lack of support from the manufacturer in the event of a failure (sry to my eng)
The RGB issues with module 3 ram is more than just corsair ram. Its an issue with all RGB ram and is a flaw in the board design... its a known issue that is hardware level... very dissapointing.
Issue 1 solution: pull the GPU out to see the debug code? Most of the time if you're looking at a motherboard post issue you don't need monitor connected. Set the bios to auto detect for the onboard igpu or PCIE.. that way you can still use monitor via onboard hdmi without having to select in bios
Issue 2 : buy a cooler that fits.. not a huge deal. Issue 3: not an issue for me personally. Thanks for the video.. appreciate it. I may grab this board
I bought this on a cyber Monday sale and I ran into a problem with the Deepcool LT720 mounting bracket. The lower mounting bracket which is the larger of the 2, the left side interferes with the top m.2 heatsink, which is beefy. Easy fix, I'm going to Dremel a few millimeters off of this bracket. My 5950x is going in this, I have the DDR5 version for my 13600k build, and I will have to see if the Intel brackets for the Deepcool lt720 interfere as well, as I'm using the same cooler. If they do, I'll use my Noctua Chromax Black on the 13600k, and the LT720 will go on my 5800x. I have a Gigabyte pro v2 for the 5800x and hopefully there will be enough room there.... Anytime you need to start grinding or cutting things during a build, it feels great to solve a problem, but it also feels like shit to have to solve a problem...
What a great review! Thanks for that buddy. Just subscribed. I have one question. Would you recommend the aero or the vision? I'm just deciding on what to buy. :/
I just picked up a display model of this board for about $145. IF it turns out to be functioning, we know how ebay is, I am wondering if I made out good or not. My Aorus X570 Ultra is pooping its case, and was far too expensive to get another Ultra right now. I loved the looks of the board, it has a lot of storage potential, and a decent amount of USB with a lot of expansion options.
@@elmSTREETnasty Yes I was able to enable it with no issue at all. Just enable ReSize-bar support, and above 4g decoding. If yer cpu and gpu support it, the feature should work. 5000+ series ryzen and a 5000+ series gpu. I could not get it to work with an r7 3700x cpu tho.
@@barrelracer318 Thanks! I panicked, cancelled the order and got the X570S Aorus Master. $30 more, but oh well. Weird that you couldn't get SAM working with a 3700X. That's what I have in my ASUS X470-F along with a 6800XT, and it's enabled. I picked up a 5800X3D the other day, so I figured I'd go with a top tier mobo since I plan on keeping it for a while. Thanks again!
@@elmSTREETnasty Yeah I could not enable SAM with the 3700x while it was paired with a 5000 series gpu. I tried it with a 5600 and my own 5700xt. It did, however, enable with a 6700 series gpu tho. Like yers did. Ehh. The design of the board looks snazzy. But... the pcie release clip is soo close to the m.2 heat sink, it is very difficult to remove the gpu. I keep a plastic spudger in my case for when I need to pop the gpu out. Plus then heatsink for the vrm can restrict the cpu cooler yer using. The usb3 socket retainers are loose too. They don't grip the plug tight at all. I also noted that the heat spreader for the m.2 put quite a lot of pressure on them. Flexing the drive quite a bit I ended up using other pads that were just a bit thinner for the bottom m.2 slot, and taking it off the first slot entirely.
my pc case fan is ON while sleep mode, I dont find setting to change to S3 in Bios. how do you turn off case fan during sleep mode? someone tell me if you know.
Well , glad i searching for more detail my motherboard . First of all it does effect all ram RGB in slot 3 , i got GSKILL Neo and it fucked me so bad for a week sent couple mails to Gigabyte and figure it out that it can't be fix soon according to Gigabyte something messed up with Bios . I got Rev 1.0 and my friend got Rev 1.1 Realtek chip on Wifi6 slower than Intel chip
I had 2 problems while installing this MB : - AM4 Noctua mounting kit does not fit on my rev.1.1 (for 1mm) - waiting for Noctua solution... - Upper heatsink contact on the M.2 (CPU) is not good at all, I even broke a little screw while tightening it, trying to close the gap between my 980Pro and heatsink... I dont know what will happen next as I'm blocked by the CPU mounting kit issue... I bought this MB because Aorus Master was sold out...will I regret it ?
Please someone tell me if you know. I got m.2 x4. 1 of them for OS and 3 of them for game storages. also I got SATA SSD x2. 1 of them for photos / recorded videos. and 1 of them for game storage. I wanted to make 4 drives for gaming. car simulation, air craft simulation, other, and Free games. I just formatted and I could use all m.2 ssd. but then my pc does not recognize 2 SATA SSD. is it because I used up all PCIe lane? is there way to use all the m.2 ssd + those 2 SATA SSD? I want to keep all storages into PC case, but if its not possible, is it able to use those 2 drives through USB 3.0? I didnt know m.2 and SATA lane shares, how do everyone cope with it? please tell me the best way to use all the storages!
@@DontCallTechSupport Thank you! I use all 4 slots of m.2 and SATA SSD x2 are connected to SATA ports 0 and 1. but even sata ssd that is connected to 1 is not recognized in bios, device manger and Disk Management. if I disconnect the 0 port, and connect to port 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, will all storages be recognized? I should just try, but I use small PC case, and to try connecting to other ports, I need to remove massive video card that I afraid to break something.
@@DontCallTechSupport Thank you for answering. and I am sorry it was just my stupid mistake. when I added 2 m.2 pcie sdd + 1 SATA3 SSD, I disconnected 6pjn of 6 pin ⇔ HDD cable to close side panel. Ive been checking connecters and reading manual, and I even called support center, and waited their email. it was 6 pin
This motherboard is trash. The USB-C and USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers for front panel and bluetooth all crapped out within 6 months of usage. The RAM slots have now all died within 11 months. Fucking shit. EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention did you install the official chipset driver from Gigabyte for Aero G? It would fucking crash my PC after installation and restart. In fact, I had to start in safe mode to uninstall the driver. I've tried the installation many times. Each time same outcome. What a piece of absolute shit!
