GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi (AMD Ryzen 3000/X570/ATX/PCIe4.0/DDR4/Intel Dual Band 802.11AC Wi-Fi/Front USB Type-C/RGB Fusion 2.0/M.2 Thermal Guard/Gaming Motherboard)

Great quality board. I was having some issues with my Asus board, and this replaced it.My system boots up nice and fast, it has a good variety of ports, especially for USB. It has a nice clean design, with orange LEDs, and the onboard Wifi is decent.The price is pretty good for what you get.

Been owning this motherboard for almost 3-4 years now & it’s still on top of it’s game. Sure there are newer ones but this one is a tank. 10/10

Q Flash was a nightmare to troubleshoot! Common issue but none of the fixes worked. So many people have trouble with this. Called Gigabyte for tech support. They added my # in line then NEVER called me back?It wasnt the name or format of the usb drive and formating the drive with xp didnt make a difference. My board would NOT flash any firmware until i shorted cmos reset then started with firmware release #2. Once it accepted f2 i updated to the latest firmware currently f36e. Ill probably post a video on youtube since none helped me and this wasted a ton of time but a usb drive with led was helpful.Board looks and feels high end. Heavy Shielding. Bios has every option imaginable. Lots of dedicated usb ports on back. The external wifi antenna perfoms much better than a usb dongle or prebuilt flat antennas. Finally have native 5G for my desktop :) Im 75 feet from the router and still get 80mbps with 2 / 3 bars on 5Ghz or full bars and 50 mbps on 2.4.FYI deafult settings ran the cpu very hot 80s+ even touched 90c during decompression.. I set it to throttle at 70c since this will be running a 80% load 24/7. Probably a better way to optimize performance and temps but this will keep it from cooking until i figure that out.

I obtained more than twice the performance from my last intel build from four years ago and spent more historically on intel.The motherboard was incredibly easy to use and the BIOS has an outstanding GUI. Motherboard Rev 1.1 was shipped with BIOS version F30, upgraded to latest version F37a with no issues with in minutes.

Running VMWARE workstation pro 16 for simulation purposes with no issues as well.

This motherboard works great and has many nice features. The biggest thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't support 5000 series CPU's out of the box (at least at the time of me posting this.) I didn't know this when I bought it, so I had a panic attack when my new motherboard with my new Ryzen 5 5600x wasn't outputting any signal, and I had no way to access the BIOS. I later discovered that I had to flash the bios to a version that supports the newer Ryzen CPU's. Thankfully one of the best features of this board is the Q Flash feature that allows you to update the BIOS without anything but the board and a Power Supply (PSU). It's not difficult to do, but the instructions in the manual are very bad and not helpful. I'm gong to explain how to flash the bios with the Q Flash button in case anyone else needs this. I've listed the instructions and the rest of my review below that.To flash the BIOS you need to...-Format a USB thumb drive to FAT32. Make sure you have enough space for 15MB or so. LOL-Download the drivers from the SUPPORT tab of the motherboard on Gigbyte's website-Put the Bios files on the thumb drive.-Rename the file that isn't a (.bat) (.exe) or (.txt) to GIGABYTE.bin. You should have a total of 4 files.-Set up the mother board with nothing plugged into it but the power supply cables going to the main mother board plug and the CPU plug. Don't install the CPU, RAM, GPU, Hardrive, SSD, or anything else. You only want the power plugged in.-Put the USB thumb drive into the white input on the back IO Panel.-Power on the PSU.-Press and hold the Q Flash button for about 5 seconds (on this motherboard it is located at that the bottom below the PCIE slots. It's small and white.)-An LED (mine was red) near the button should start flashing. Slow flashes mean it's getting ready to flash. Fast flashes means it's updating the BIOS.-Wait until this led stops flashing and the PSU fans stop spinning.-The bios is flashed.You can then plug in and set up everything before installing your OS and drivers.Things I like about this board.-It has Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built in.-It has 2 gen 4 M.2 ssd slots and many SATA ports for a massive amount of storage.-It has support for RGB LED strips as well as water coolers (I don't really use any of this, but it's nice for some people who like that.)Things I don't like about this board.-There are only 4 fan headers which include the CPU fan. I prefer to use air cooling since it's less work and seems to do a great job for me with these cooler Ryzen 5 CPU's. This means I have a total of 5 fans including my CPU fan in my PC build. I had to buy a splitter like some other people recommended in the reviews for this.-Again, having to flash the bios to even get this mother board to run with my Ryzen 5 5600x was a pain and wasn't ideal. There aren't very good instructions on what to do in the manual either, and I had to rely on a helpful video on YouTube to figure out what to do.I'd say that this is a good deal. The amount of features you get for the price is a better deal than the B550 board in my opinion. It has better "future proofing" in case you want to have some upgrades later. If you can get it while it's on sale, it's a great buy.
