Verdict

The Gigabyte X570S Aorus Pro AX is a high-performance ATX motherboard featuring the AMD X570 chipset with a silent, passive cooling design that eliminates chipset fan noise. It is built with a robust 12+2 phase digital twin power design and 60A DrMOS to support demanding Ryzen 5000 series processors, alongside advanced thermals including Fins-Array II and M.2 Thermal Guard III. Key characteristics include triple ultra-fast NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 6 (or 6E in later revisions), 2.5GbE LAN, and a rear USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port offering 20Gbps speeds. Main pros are its excellent VRM heat dissipation, high-speed DDR4 support up to 5400MHz+, and the silent fanless chipset. Notable cons include the bugginess of the RGB Fusion software and the fact that using the third M.2 slot disables two SATA ports.

  • Strong connectivity options including WiFi 6/6E, 2.5GbE LAN, and multiple USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports
  • High-quality build with reinforced PCIe and DIMM slots, providing a solid and durable feel
  • Support for high-speed memory overclocking, with some users and reviewers reaching speeds up to DDR4-5400+

What customers dislike about GIGABYTE X570S AORUS Pro AX?

  • Gigabyte's RGB Fusion and AppCenter software are frequently described as buggy or containing unwanted bloatware
  • Lack of a POST code/seven-segment display makes troubleshooting boot issues more difficult compared to higher-tier models
  • Missing a built-in speaker or header for POST beeps, which some users find frustrating for diagnostic purposes
  • Reported instability in early BIOS versions, including issues with USB connectivity and RAM training, though many were resolved with later updates
  • The price is considered high by some users given it is a refresh of an older platform as newer generations entered the market
