Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master Review [VRM Thermals | Power | Operating Costs]

[@eTeknix]

Have you got a Gigabyte motherboard?

[@alexs.3905]

X570S; 5950X @5.0GHz 24/7 stable; 32 GB 4000 RAM @3800MHz, 16-16-16-32 (due to memory controller issues otherwise); Barracuda 530 2TB system drive (7'300MB/s read/ 6'900MB/s write); 2x Barracuda 520 2TB in RAID 0 for game storage (~6'000MB/s read & write) 😊 ...6900xt @2'500MHz 24/7; all cooled by an AuquaComputer D5NEXT, 1x Alphacool 45x280mm push (first rad in loop, top exhaust) & 1x Alphacool 45x420mm push/pull ( second rad in loop, intake) in a Phanteks S600.

[@klounader]

Coil whine problem on this motherboard?

[@napoficial7123]

B550H M . Actual and only one.

[@6r3ys0n]

Yes, and a Gigabyte Aorus 4090 Master

[@johnvuong5496]

The lack of a clear CMOS button on the board is quite disappointing, even the X570 Master had one. The cheaper B650 Master even has one, not sure why Gigabyte did this

[@YunocTV]

On my Board the CMOS resetted after Power cut. So i RMAd it, because by taking off the backplate to get to the batterie I could have accidently damaged something. New Board had the same Issue. Anyone else had the same Problem? Waiting for another brand MB now.

[@Dusty2455433]

Just power drain it?

[@NotCommanderShepard]

Moved from MSI X670E Carbon Wifi to this and to be honest it feels like a completely different class of product, even thought the price is barely any different where I live. So happy with how stable the BIOS has been.

[@dricksdricksonly169]

Cons: ALC1220 is good'old previous audio gen ALC4082 is latest flagship

[@Skewel]

Please do more motherboard reviews. If you do, then Hardware Unboxed and Gamers Nexus won't be the only KZbinrs that we have to rely on for motherboard reviews.

[@eTeknix]

Just need more views on them and it will allow us to do more. KZbin’s algorithm sucks at the moment sadly

[@filipealves6602]

Hardware Unboxed reviews motherboards?! I don't think they do! 😅

[@alias5152]

I paired it with 7950x and i am satisfied. only thing what i dont like is how brands cover their mobos with stupid branding slogans....aaaooruussss... gaaaming... rog rog rog...etc

[@androcarot9288]

😂😂😂😂

[@BADcharacter303]

What’s the case you used if you don’t mind me asking. Having a hard time finding a case to fit this massive board that I like.

[@alias5152]

@@BADcharacter303 I having Cooler Master HAF 700 Evo. It's giant full tower case so whatever companies will build it will fit and will have plenty of space. I decided to get this case because i like huge cases + it's handy nowedays because we have massive gpu's so.. it's win-win to me.

[@zaptiac5575]

​@@BADcharacter303 what did you end up getting? Im thinking i can edge it out with h6 flow

[@EDG3PC]

Am thinking between ROG STRIX X670E-E GAMING WIFI and Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master, which one you would pick?

[@lynver6719]

ROG EE cheaper ，but EE not flagship level in ROG ，Aorus Master is. Its perform not good in this video. I think GIGA do best for their Z790 master ，justsoso for X670E . COST Z790 MASTER+13700KF= X670E MASTER+7800X3D.

[@vrprovideo]

Really good stuff! Thank you! Would this motherboard run two x RTX 4080 GPUs?

[@msoltyspl]

Did they fix their broken aorus bioses (like on my x570 aorus pro 1.0) where disabling CSM makes the whole bios interface (after restart) lag like no tommorow ?

[@Matti6950]

I was gonna buy x570S aorus master (400€), so the 500€ for Aorus master (x670e) was not that hard to swallow. Since i didnt have time/money/decidation last years for new pc, that money and goal is still there. And guess what yesterday happened. A shop dropped (very shortly, think it was mistake) price to 449€ for X670E master, that suddenly feels very cheap in current times for a high-end board (500€ is quite rare pricing, it usually spikes to 600+€ or below 400€). Another reason for this motherboard: X470 motherboards were not as future proof as X670E is now for future cpu's. Yes we will by my calculatio only get ryzen 8000 + 9000 cpu upgrades. Since 8000>9000 is probably small and stupid, setitng out upgrade path, you must buy 7000. Even more since since i skipped 5000 anyway. So now i will buy 7000 cpu and later the best in slot 9000 series when fully discounted (like the 5950x is now stunningly cheap at 479€). Also even AM4 motherboards shot up in price (at least 30€ often more), Z790 is a lot more expensive (sometimes a bit lower then AM5), and 200€ amd boards have insanely few features. Taking all this into account, buying a double price motherboard, but for two cpu generations (with massive upgrade between them), is smarter and cheaper (bit like 5800x3d is insane value for am4 motherboard owners). I like the amount of metal on it, gives courage that it's actually good build quality and passive cooling, the benches seems to confirm this, i also like lower idle power usage.

[@Games_and_Tech]

I read a lot of comments on rebiews complaining about the intel lan controller... any comments on that?

[@zaptiac5575]

went with 650e elite ax v2 instead, half price and the only thing i like more about this one is that it's slightly larger and has rgb

[@wingnut4200]

[@Racer-X-090]

I'm guessing by the age of the video, this isn't the 1.0 revision? I wonder what is different in the revision.

[@nocturnenoble2468]

It is, look for the "REV 1" text at the bottom left of the board, scrolling upwards at 12:30.

[@aaronhong7759]

Ty for the review! Are the fps results really within margin of error? 137 vs 129 fps in cyberpunk between the aorus extreme and aorus master seems rather drastic

[@darbstre2900]

Yes. Boards don't provide next to any fps changes that don't fall within margin of error

[@darbstre2900]

So there's a very real possibility the fps on your rig has the opposite. It's kind of like the silicon lottery

[@majcyl]

Z790 master seems to be a better board? 10g lan for example

[@espi8997]

exactly seems like the Intel counterpart is more premium than the am5 one.

[@Matti6950]

@@espi8997 No pci-express 5.0 or cpu upgrade path (other then raptor lake refresh).

[@vqa33]

Thanks nice video and pronunciation.

[@alexs.3905]

Why has no-one put two high end (Barracuda 530 2TB or WD SN_850X 2TB) m.2's in RAID 0 into the two PCIe 5.0 slots yet...?!??!!!😮

[@eTeknix]

I think all of our firecuda 530’s are in use 😂

[@alexs.3905]

...This should saturate the full bandwidth of PCIe 5.0; providing ~13-14000MB/s throughput @~2'000'000 IOPS !?!! 😊 The answer to this is the ONLY thing keeping me from "upgrading" to AM5; as if not viable, I cannot justify the $5k expense of the otherwise "incremental" uplift compared to my current setup.

[@alexs.3905]

​@@eTeknix WD SN_850X 2TB...?!??

[@alexs.3905]

@eTeknix ...ANY pair of 7'000MB/s+ m.2's will be sufficient to illustrate if it's possible to saturate the full bandwidth of PCIe 5.0 in RAID 0; the biggest "wildcard" would be testing the effect of ~2 million IOPS has !?!! 😮 Aren't you even a LITTLE curious ?!?? 🤔

[@alexs.3905]

...I doubt that I'm the only one who'd appreciate your time looking into this aspect; "Fast PCIe 4.0 in RAID 0 VS PCIe 5.0" is basically CLICKBAIT!?!!??? 😉

[@axi6ne8us]

I'm torn between this board and the ASUS ROG Strix X670E-E gaming wifi. Which do you recommend?

[@Ribbotsaur]

I'm torn on these two exact boards as well! Have you come to a conclusion yet?

[@eTeknix]

That’s a tough one to be honest. I think we have a review coming on the asus board soon too.

[@axi6ne8us]

@@eTeknix I'm currently using the Crosshair viii dark hero with a 5950X. I have never used a GIGABYTE board, so figured I'd give it a shot 😊. But it would be nice to see a review on the pros and cons of those similar specs motherboards.

[@eTeknix]

@@axi6ne8us will see what I can do.

[@jinzo0121]

I went with this, it supports M.2-25110 for future M.2, lower VRM Temps and MB power consumption, cheaper too.

[@Brahma-Astra]

i own the gigabyte x570 aorus master Rev. 1.0 mobo ........... n the bios is full of bugs which never got resolved ........ n it stills keeps losing the usb2 connection even at the latest bios version .... guess i will go with MSI the next time .........

[@espi8997]

a couple of things i find disappointing: why is it E-ATX? also why no clrcmos botton at the back? I went for the Strix-F instead.

[@reynov8-homeandgarden]

i have a z690 aorus xtreme , although its awesome , i genuinely hate the lack of usb 2.0 ports .

Z790 improves on that 😝

[@kevinlast8262]

arent the other usb ports backwards compatiable?

[@ohpa6300]

This is the mobo I got for my new gaming rig. I bought it just before hearing about the overheating issues. I'm holding off on building the new rig until I have some idea of how updates to the latest BIOS are going. Any thoughts?

[@Matti6950]

Just update to lattest 1416? amd chipset drive. That should fix it. (non beta version ofc). If not sure, set manual Vscoc temp to 1.3 volt or lower until fixed by drivers.

Super pi 2.1 graph totally misleading. I generally like your vids but disliked
