The ULTIMATE AMD X670E Motherboard Roundup Review

Gigabyte X670E AORUS XTREME

Now, as we move up into the more expensive realm of boards, we start things off with the Gigabyte X670E AORUS XTREME which I’ll be honest, isn’t for the faint-hearted, due to its price point, but at the same time, is one of the best looking boards on the market though I think I preferred the design on previous generation Xtreme boards with more of the PCB covered and right-angled connectors which is what made the Xtreme stand out in the first place. That aside, the design is beefy, especially towards the rear I/O of the board which covers over some of the VRM cooling.

Feature-wise, as expected, the board is ready for PCI-Express 5.0 graphics through one of the three PCI-Express x16 slots, along with PCI-E 5.0 M.2 drives on all four of the M.2 slots which is pretty impressive, as most boards generally only utilise one M.2 slot supporting the faster upcoming drives.

All of these super-fast features require a lot of power, and Gigabyte have you covered there too with an 18+2+2 digital power setup with each phase providing 105A of continuous power. To keep this cool at all times, Gigabyte has gone with their latest advanced thermal design consisting of a large 8mm heatpipe, Fins-Array III with NanoCarbon coating and NanoCarbon aluminium backplate.

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!
