We like the Aorus Master for a few reasons. Worst case in that testing it matched the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero, while comfortably beating options from MSI and Asrock. In our latest round of VRM thermal testing the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master really impressed. The Asrock X570 Phantom Gaming X is selling for $350, the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Master is $360, the MSI MEG X570 Ace Gaming for $370 and then the Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero for $360 without WiFi, or $380 with WiFi. There is a smaller group of four motherboards that will set you back around $400 and we've tested them all. It’s a very good board that can be had for less, making it great value. If you don’t need PCIe 4.0, you might want to check out the X470 Taichi. Previous generation boards could also be considered for the savings. Two worthwhile runner ups can be either the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Ultra or Asus ROG Strix X570-F Gaming. It’s also a great looking board with some nice lighting effects, if you’re into that sort of thing.
BEST GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD FULL
The board did quite well in our VRM thermal testing and for $300 it packs loads of features including Wi-Fi 6, three M.2 slots with full coverage heatsink, eight SATA ports, high quality audio, Intel Gigabit LAN, plenty of USB 3 ports, BIOS Flashback, and much more. The winner in the $300 category is the Asrock X570 Taichi. With that said, you should know the MSI X570 Tomahawk has VRM performance that can surpass many of these at a lower price point, just make sure it's got the features you want, since it's still a mainstream level offering.
None of them can be considered bad choices, which should be no surprise given this is a rather high price to pay for a motherboard supporting a mainstream socket. There are considerably more options for those of you spending around $300. There are loads of motherboards to choose from and we’ve tested plenty of them, from entry level $200 models to best of the best, no compromise options. Hence the premium you will pay for these. Depending on the model, you may also get support for the latest USB standard (3.2 Gen 2), Wi-Fi 6 and 10 gigabit ethernet (10 GbE) connectivity. The flagship AMD X570 platform mostly consists of high-end motherboards as it enables a number for forward looking technologies such as PCIe 4.0 and M.2 Gen 4 storage, though you may not necessarily take advantage of them from day one.
BEST GIGABYTE MOTHERBOARD UPDATE
Check out our recommendations for AMD B450 and X470 motherboards as well, with an update on B550 boards coming soon. Then, of course, the Ryzen 9 5950X is a 16-core beast which is the fastest CPU you can get on a mainstream platform.įor those of you upgrading from an older Ryzen processor, know you may be good to go with older AM4 motherboards and you can also save some money on new builds, too. The Ryzen 9 5900X and 5800X are great for those that require full-on productivity and workstation levels of performance with top-of-the-line gaming output. For new builds we generally recommend the Ryzen 3600/5600X for best all-round value. Overall, Ryzen offers great options with core-rich CPUs at compelling price points. Ryzen 5000 is finally rolling out and it seems like it combines all that core-heavy horsepower from before, with stronger single-core performance which is great for gaming. You're ready to go AMD on your next build, and we can't blame you.
