GIGABYTE X570S AERO G X570 ATX AMD Motherboard
GIGABYTE X570S AERO G X570 ATX AMD Motherboard Supports AMD Ryzen 5th Gen/ 4th Gen/ 3rd Gen/ 2nd Gen Processors Dual Channel ECC / Non-ECC Unbuffered DDR4 memory, 4 DIMMs Effective cooling solution design for the better thermal dissipation Wi-Fi 6 2x2 802.11ax with an all new antenna support for better signal High-bandwidth and low-latency network support by Intel 2.5GbE LAN Comprehensive connectivity by front and rear USB 3.2 Type-C connectors Go further without more cables by Vision LINK I/O design 4 Ultra-Fast NVMe PCIe x4 M.2 connectors with unique thermal guards Smart Fan 6 features hybrid fan headers and numerous temperature sensors for fan mode configuration Q-Flash Plus Updates BIOS without Installing the CPU, Memory and Graphics Card. The X570S AERO G motherboard is a fresh approach for creators that are looking to optimize features for content creation. The X570S AERO G delivers reliable computing performance, impressive connectivity, expandable graphics, and ultra-fast storage for creators to deal with heavy workloads such as 3D rendering.
Gigabyte takes advantage of the fan-removing X570S chipset update to refresh its creator-focused board options with the GIGABYTE X570S AERO G Motherboard. According to Gigabyte, the Aero series motherboards are a “...fresh approach to creators that evolve with optimized features for content creation.” Rather than the gaming- or overlocking-focused boards we typically test, the goal here is to deliver a reliable, expandable motherboard with ultra-fast storage and multiple connectivity options that creators (think 3D rendering, video production, etc.) want in a motherboard. If this sounds like an updated Vision Series board for the X570 platform, you’re on the right track.
The GIGABYTE X570S AERO G Motherboard gets an updated appearance, but still sticks with the black-and-white theme we’re familiar with for Gigabyte’s creator-focused boards. This time around, some of the angles are smoothed out, and there’s more board coverage on the bottom half (heatsinks and shrouds), which yields a more premium appearance (taking a lot from the Z590 Vision models). True to its target demographic, the board includes an ultra-fast USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 Type-C port, which doubles as the VisionLink port (similar to Thunderbolt in the way it passes video/data/power through the port). Additionally, the board includes four PCIe 4.0 M.2 sockets for fast NVMe storage -- all things that aid builds with fast storage and high-end peripherals.
In terms of performance, the Aero G was about average overall. In some tests it excelled, such as Corona, Cine bench and POV-Ray (multi-core), while in others ran slower, such as compression for 7Zip or the LAME results. Memory bandwidth was above average, but the latency was slightly higher. Power use on the Aero G was the highest we’ve seen so far, but only by a couple of watts.
During overclocking, the VRMs did run warm, but still well within operating range while at stock speeds. We saw boost reaching 5 GHz on our Ryzen 9 5950X, so you’ll get what you paid for when using optimized defaults. Read on as we dig into performance results and other features of the made-for-creators GIGABYTE X570S AERO G Motherboard.
