Gigabyte X570 AORUS Pro Motherboard Review

How Much Does it Cost?

Unfortunately, at the time of writing, we didn’t have up to date pricing information for the AORUS X570 Pro Motherboard. However, you can check the latest prices here in the UK or here in the US. Although, from what we have heard, this is a mid-range solution and is expected to drop in at around $250; don’t quote me on that.

Overview

The AORUS X570 Pro Motherboard is far from the most high-end one we’ve reviewed today, but then again, it’s going to be priced to reflect that too. Given that top models are set to cost North of £700, having some sub £300, even sub £200 boards are no bad thing for the bulk of consumers. Don’t be fooled though, this isn’t a cheap and cheerful solution. The AORUS X570 Pro packs a lot of great features for the enthusiast. It still features a mighty 12_” Phases power stage and chunky heatsinks that’ll have it dealing with the flagship Ryzen 9 with relative ease.

Build Quality

Like any other X570 motherboard, the AORUS X570 Pro features a robust design. This includes the thicker PCB, and it features twice the amount of copper to deal with the increased demands of the new chipset. It does have the active fan on the chipset though, as does pretty much every other X570 motherboard. However, you do also get dual M.2 Gen 4 mounts with their own heatsinks. There’s also integrated I/O shield, and armour on the DIMMs and two of the three full-size PCIe lanes. Like I said, mid-range it may be, but there are plenty of premium features to be found.

Performance

So it’s not the fastest of the X570 bunch we’ve tested today, but it’s far from the most expensive either. That being said, when it came to Unigine and PCMark, it really held its own against the competition. Even managing to score the second highest score in PCMark 10, which was a surprise. It’s clearly no slouch though, and easily competes with the rest of the X570 range, so for those building a new AMD gaming system, I think you’re going to be more than happy with the price to performance ratio here.

Added Value

This motherboard is pretty straight forward with its features, nothing too crazy, but still ticking all the right boxes. You get dual M.2, each with support for the latest Gen4 drives, as well as older generations. You’ll find excellent on-board audio with the ALC1220-VB chipset, as well as a bank of WIMA and Nichicon Fine Gold capacitors. Plus, a wide range of ARGB headers, USB 3.2 Gen 2 and 1 GbE networking.

Should I Buy One

While it is designed to be more affordable, especially compared to the current flagship X570 motherboards, the AORUS X570 Pro still has a lot of impressive features that make it worthy of your time. They have gone for a robust VRM design, and armoured all the important components to give you a fantastic quality motherboard.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
