When DIY gamers find that their old motherboards are completely incompatible with the new generation of DDR5 memory, it also means that a new round of motherboard hardware upgrades is about to be launched. After all, holding a high-frequency DDR5 memory in his hand and facing the old motherboard "empty and sad" is tantamount to locking a hungry person in the kitchen of a hotel: whether you can see it or not, you are in a hurry.
Looking at the new generation of motherboards from the three major mainstream manufacturers, in fact, all aspects are very good, the workmanship, configuration, and design are remarkable, and they all have their own unique technologies and selling points, but they are the most popular in the near future"Excited"It must be the Gigabyte X670E AORUS Pro X.
1. Design
The design of the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X is very special, it adopts the design of [True Pure White], compared with many competitors, the GIGABYTE X670E uses white as the background color from the PCB to the thermal armor, making the whole motherboard look very textured. At the same time, the layout of the motherboard is also very reasonable, even in the graphics card and mThe 2 slots support the quick release function, which is convenient for users to carry out various assembly and disassembly operations.
In addition, the motherboard's PCB board also has eye-catching silver lines and an eye-catching RGB logo, which is not only beautiful and elegant, but also adds to the brand's recognition. I can really give a full score for the overall appearance performance, and I basically can't find fault with it.
2. Power supply stacking and heat dissipation stacking
In terms of power supply, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X adopts a luxurious 16+2+2 phase power supply design, which undoubtedly provides a more stable and long-lasting experience compared to the power configuration of many motherboards in the same price range. This power supply design is also willing to be stacked in high-end motherboards, which is further proof of GIGABYTE's dedication to performance and quality.
And when it comes to cooling, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X also spares no effort. It adopts a full-coverage heat dissipation design, and each power supply area is covered by a special heat sink, which greatly improves the heat dissipation efficiency. Whether it's a chipset or a power supply module or mThe 2 zones are covered by heavy thermal armor to ensure its stable operation with high performance. This design of the heat dissipation stack allows the motherboard to keep the temperature stable during high-load operation, thus ensuring the long-term stable operation of the hardware.
3. Interface configuration
In terms of interface configuration, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X is still relatively conventional. It is equipped with 12 USB ports, 2 PCI-E 50 m.2 slots, 2 PCI-E 40 m.2 slots, as well as high-speed network interfaces, etc., can basically meet the needs of most users.
As for the memory interface, the motherboard has 4 RAM slots and supports up to 192GB DDR5 RAM configurations. At the same time, in terms of memory frequency support, this motherboard is up to DDR5 8000MHz, which greatly improves the overall performance of the system. Overall, it's perfectly fine to call it an ultra-mainstream motherboard.
Performance Measurement
To validate the performance of the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X, we ran a number of tests on it. Of course, the core configuration DDR5 memory module and the new generation AMD R9 7900X processor are naturally arranged together to build a high-performance PC to avoid the impact of performance bottlenecks on the running score to the greatest extent.
The first is performancetest 110 memory mark running score test, the first item is the running score of DDR5 memory in the default state of 4800mt s, the results are obvious, 3429 points, not bad, leading 84% of users.
And we went into the BIOS to open EXPO1, automatically overclocked the memory to 6000MTS, and then ran the memory mark, and the score increased to 3844 points, leading 96% of users, which shows that a simple function setting, memory performance has been greatly improved.
That's not all, as we all know, GIGABYTE motherboards have relatively complete support for DDR5 memory, especially GIGABYTE's official claim that this motherboard fully supports the D5 black technology of high-bandwidth & low-latency mode, which can improve memory performance for free. And I'm also curious about how much the memory performance will be improved if EXPO auto-overclocking + D5 black technology strikes in two ways. So, after setting the relevant options in the BIOS, I ran through it.
The results are also very gratifying,Based on this X670E AORUS Pro X's EXPO automatic overclocking + high frequency bandwidth & low latency "double buff",Memory Mark score broke through4000 mark,Leading 99% of users,Compared with the default state of 3429 points,A full increase of 15.46 %。
In addition, I also ran three rounds of the classic memory running software aida64, and the memory read and write speed in the default state of the first round was 60018MB s and 63983MB s, and the results were ordinary and there were no bright spots.
After opening the expo, the performance improvement is still very obvious, from more than 60,000 read and write speeds to 77693MB s and 84002MB s, which is a very large increase.
On the basis of EXPO, a high-frequency broadband & low-latency black technology is superimposed, and the results are further improved, with a read speed of 84676MB s and a write speed of 88168MB s, which is close to the threshold of 90,000 points. Compared to the default state, after turning on automatic overclocking and D5 black technology, the performance has increased by 29%, which is not an overstatement.
In the last two rounds of actual benchmarking, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X showed excellent results. Especially after turning on automatic overclocking and D5 black technology, its stability and efficiency are even more impressive. Even a novice like me, who has half a bucket of water, can easily set up the BIOS, and there is no need to worry about manually overclocking and setting the wrong parameters before and it won't turn on. It's also a very important advantage for users with large gaming needs and multitasking, both in terms of ease of use and practicality.
Fifth, comparative advantages
When comparing motherboards with the same price range at 3000 yuan, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X shows obvious advantages in terms of power supply and DDR5 memory support, making it able to provide more stable and long-lasting performance in actual use. However, objectively speaking, the other two motherboards also have their own unique advantages, which are not listed here.
VI. Conclusions
Overall, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X is undoubtedly the best in the X670E chipset in its price range. Its excellent appearance design, power supply stacking, heat dissipation stacking and rich interface configuration make it stand out from similar products. And in the performance test, it also showed excellent performance and stability.
For ordinary users, the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS Pro X has many accessories that can be used directly on the fly, reducing the cost of useFor novice users who want to improve their performance, the automatic overclocking and D5 black technology supported by the motherboard are very easy to operate, so you don't have to worry about "making mistakes" and not being able to turn on the machineProfessional users can naturally manipulate any of the details of this motherboard manually, which is full of playability, which is why I would say that it is "expert" in the title.
