Model Name X570 AORUS ELITE WIFI(rev.1.0)BIOS Ver. F11VGA Brand NvidiaVGA Model GTX 1080CPU Model R5 3600xMemory Brand OLOY Warhawk RGB 3600Memory Size 16GPower Supply EVGA 850wI've been running this pc for a week now without problems. The first boot took a while because of memory training I guess but it works fine. Updated the bios to the latest version without problems. Overall I recommend this motherboard.PROS-Reliable, works fine.-Great features for a good price-Robust VRM capable of handling Ryzen 9-Aesthetically pleasing. Integrated IO shield and vrm heatsinks look very nice. The chipset fan doesn't get covered by the GPU and I can't even hear it.CONS-The RGB on this board is underwhelming, barely visible. On top of that, the RGB fusion software is trash. Hardly any effects to choose from. Impossible to sync with GPUs of other brands.-The BIOS is not as good as ASUS bios.-The wifi is not as fast but it has good reception. Tbh I don't expect much from onboard wifis anyway, I just got the Wifi version because it was actually cheaper than the non-Wifi.

I obtained more than twice the performance from my last intel build from four years ago and spent more historically on intel.The motherboard was incredibly easy to use and the BIOS has an outstanding GUI. Motherboard Rev 1.1 was shipped with BIOS version F30, upgraded to latest version F37a with no issues with in minutes. Using a Noctua chroma.black 12ua air cooler for the 5900x and motherboard has plenty of room and clearance. CPU running at 35c idle (package temp) and when stressed at 100% on all cores I get around 80c max which is expected.Dual monitors setup, Gaming at 240hz and reaching max fps on 1080p with out a hitch. Running VMWARE workstation pro 16 for simulation purposes with no issues as well.

The media could not be loaded. The X570 AORUS Elite Wi-Fi had all the features I was looking for in a X570 board. It has solid solder connections, easy to navigate Bios, Q-flash plus, up to 128 GB memory capacity, and is PCIE 4 ready. XMP works great. I posted a video showing what it looks like while using Q-flash. You need to have only the power connections on the board. Plug in Fat 32 flash drive with most recent files from gigabyte's website in Bios slot. Turn on power then quickly hold Q-flash button on motherboard until it starts to flash. The USB drive will flash and the LED light on the board will flash during the bios update. It will shut down when finished. Most important step after flashing is to unplug power cable and remove CMOS battery for a few minutes. It was not enough to short CMOS. I had intermittent no HDMI display issues until I removed the CMOS battery.My build:Ryzen 5 3600X570 AORUS Elite Wi-FiTEAMGROUP Module Memory RAM DDR4 32GB (2X16G) PC3200Samsung 980 Pro 500gb M.2 running at PCIE 4Samsung 870 SSDRadeon RX 560 graphics (still need to upgrade)Rosewill TYRFING ATX Mid Tower caseRaidmax 730W power supply

I'm a little disappointed in most of the negative reviews. The description says ryzen 3000 ready, this means a bios update will be needed to operate anything over 3000 series. No, updating the bios is not hard. Yes, you have to do a small amount of work. All in all gigabyte makes some good hardware and this board beats the msi x570 a pro that I replaced with this. This board does not deserve a rating of less than 5 stars just because you have to update the bios. Also for those with the BSOD, the manual says to !extract! the bios update to a thumb drive that is formatted to fat 16/32. Check if the update is extracted. Also check if you seated all your hardware properly and if any of your hardware is faulty before blaming the board. People... Please stop leaving bad reviews because you don't want to read the manual. The manual is there for a reason and not everything works right out of the box. Do a little research and make sure you understand what you are doing before you do it. Great price, great value.
