Gigabyte X570 I AORUS Pro WiFi Motherboard Review

How Much Does it Cost?

Unfortunately, at the time of writing we didn’t have final pricing information for pretty much any X570 motherboard. However, this isn’t a flagship board, so it should be somewhat reasonable. That being said, it’s not uncommon to pay a premium for the mini-ITX series of motherboards. We’ll update you as soon as we have more information. However, you can check up to date pricing in the UK here and in the US here.

Overview

Being the only mini-ITX motherboard we’ve got for the X570 launch, the AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi has already won a place in my heart. It’s also worth mentioning there are no mATX boards here for us to review, and they seem even more rare for this launch. However, we hope we see more, as despite the small size, the AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi packs a mighty punch that toppled even the big dog flagship motherboards in some of our tests.

Build Quality

It’s amazing how much you can really pack on a mini-ITX motherboard. With an 8 Phases IR Digital VRM, and a big and chunky heatsink, the AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi still has some decent overclocking potential; even on the Ryzen 9 series. It does still have the active chipset fan too, but that also forms part of the M.2 cooler, so that’s a nice two in one combo right there. AORUS has even armoured the DIMM slots and the PCIe lanes, improving both the motherboards strength and aesthetics in one swift move. Plus, little perks like the built-in I/O guard are always welcome.

Performance

Perhaps its the fact that it has less hardware than the ATX models and thus less overhead. Either way, the AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi was no slouch. It matched some very high-end motherboards in 3DMark and Unigine easily enough. It also set our highest score ever in PCMark 10, and our 3rd fastest (fastest for X570) score in WPrime! So don’t be fooled by the size, it’s small, but it has plenty of performance to give.

Added Value

The AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi isn’t short on features. It has solid overclocking hardware that certainly makes it appealing. However, dual Gen4 M.2 mounts, Gigabit LAN, WiFi 6, USB 3.1 Gen 2, HDMI 2.0, and the superb ALC1220-VB Enhance audio make it a joy to live with on a daily basis. Lots of connectivity to build an enthusiast system. However, if you’re all about the RGB, you’ll find RGB FUSION 2.0 with built-in lights on the motherboard, as well as ARGB and RGB LED headers on the motherboard.

Should I Buy One

While I do not know the price, I find it hard to believe you’ll find a better X570 mini-ITX motherboard at launch. It’s packed full of features, looks fantastic, and the performance exceeded my expectations. Put simply, I absolutely love the AORUS X570 I Pro WiFi!

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!
