• Part 1: AMD Socket AM5, support for: AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series Processors (Please refer “CPU Support List” for more information.)
• The X670 AORUS ELITE AX RYZEN AM5 MOTHERBOARD is designed to support the latest AMD Ryzen™ 7000 Series ProcessorsThe chipset supports PCIe 4.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2,
• and SATA 6Gb/sdata transfer rates and for various peripheralsm stabilityMemorymotherboard offers extensive support for DDR5 memory modules,
• with impressive data transfer rates of up to 8000MT/s (OC). It features 4 DDR5 DIMM sockets,
• supporting a maximum system memory capacity of 192 GB (48 GB single DIMM ) in a dual-channel memory
•   Users can refer to the “Memory Support List” for detailed information on supported memory types, data rates, and configurations, ensuring compatibility with their specific memory modules.
• Onboard Graphics The motherboard features an  with a HDMI port  a maximum resolution of 4096×2160@60 Hz. It supports HDMI 2.1 version and HDCP 2.3, with graphics specifications varying depending on CPU support.
• This provides users with the flexibility to utilize onboard graphics capabilities or to install dedicated  cards for enhanced visual performance.Audio The X670 A
• The letter “X” marks the top spot in AMD’s chipset hierarchy, but Gigabyte’s  () is no flagship motherboard;
• it’s positioned near the price bottom for premium X670/X670E boards,

• making it one of the least-expensive ATX-size X670 options. This full-featured board has four M.2 sockets (one PCI Express 5.0); four SATA ports;

• integrated AMD Wi-Fi 6E plus a 2.5Gbps Ethernet port; capable voltage regulators (VRMs);
• an entry-level audio codec; and a design that looks cool inside your chassis.
• It misses an Editors’ Choice award, mainly because it’s missing a PCIe 5.0 GPU slot,
• it offers value-adds such as quick-release EZ-Latch M.2 and PCIe slots,
• and it has the specs, looks, and attractive price to tempt PC desktop builders looking to jump onto AMD’s latest platform. X670 AORUS ELITE AX

• Board Design

  The X670 Aorus Elite AX is an ATX-size board sitting on an eight-layer PCB. Overall, X670 AORUS ELITE AX

• it’s a basic design with similar PCB coverage as its competition.
• Matte black with light gray design elements on the heatsinks and I/O cover, X670 AORUS ELITE AX
• it should look good inside any chassis and work with most build themes.Flexing proudly on the large VRM heatsink is an Aorus eagle logo,
• while the M.2 and chipset heatsinks flaunt more Aorus branding and stenciled lines that meander their way from the chipset to the VRM heatsink.
• If you’re looking for integrated RGB lighting, however, you’ll have to look elsewhere, or buy your own and attach it to one of the four integrated headers.
• This motherboard supports AMD Ryzen AM5-based processors with 20-phase power delivery and 70A MOSFETs.
•  1120A  to the CPU (16 phases dedicated to Vcore) is plenty and handled our Ryzen 9 7950X both at stock speeds and while overclocked without flinching in our limited testing.
•  heatsinks did an excellent job of keeping power delivery within spec. You can overclock to your heart’s content, limited only by your cooling methods—not by the board.
• Just above the DRAM slots, to the right of the socket, you’ll see your first two (of five) 4-pin fan headers.
• Each supports PWM and DC fans and each outputs up to 2A/24W (see manual for details), X670 AORUS ELITE AX
• which is plenty to keep multiple fans and most pumps on a single header.
• As always, make sure you know how much power your fans and pump(s) require, as you want to avoid overloading these headers.
• This area is also home to the first two RGB headers; I spotted one 3-pin ARGB and one 4-pin RGB header here,

• controlled via Gigabyte’s RGB Fusion application.

  The four DRAM slots forego reinforcement and use locking mechanisms on the top and bottom. I prefer only one lock on top,

  this isn’t a problem as you’ll find enough room to reach them. Continuing down the right edge of the board,

•  simple power and reset buttons as well as the 24-pin ATX connector to power the board. X670 AORUS ELITE AX
• are the EZ-debug LEDs that light up during the POST process.
• If the system hangs in one of these areas (CPU, boot, VGA, DRAM), the respective LED remains lit, giving you an idea of where the problem lies.
• fan header in this area, plus the front-panel USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 (20Gbps) front panel header and a 5-pin Thunderbolt AIC header.Moving to the bottom of the board, the left side houses a fully exposed audio section.
• Here you’ll see the budget-level Realtek ALC897 codec along with a few audio capacitors.
•  won’t find a motherboard with integrated DACs/amplifiers or Faraday cages to mitigate EMI in this price range, X670 AORUS ELITE AX
• many builders will find the Elite AX’s solution adequate for their needs. Those who don’t can use one of the extra PCIe slots with an add-in sound card.
