Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER

The X670E AORUS Master was one of the launch flagship boards for AM5, and remains a strong high-end option thanks to its E-ATX layout, dual chipset design enabling full PCIe 5.0 support, and a VRM commonly rated around 16+2+2 phases at 105A in independent testing.

Independent VRM analysis of this board has commonly measured a 16+2+2 phase design using 105A power stages, giving it enough headroom for Ryzen 9000 X3D chips at stock and light overclocks; Gigabyte's own specification page does not list an exact phase count. Four DDR5 DIMM slots support up to 256GB total capacity, with AMD EXPO and XMP profiles enabling overclocked speeds up to 8000 MT/s. Expansion includes a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot from the CPU, a PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, and a PCIe 3.0 x2 slot. Storage covers four M.2 slots, two CPU-integrated and two chipset-integrated. An Intel 2.5GbE LAN chip handles wired networking, paired with Intel AX210 or AMD RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2/5.3. Audio uses a Realtek ALC1220-VB codec with DTS:X Ultra support. Against the Gigabyte X870E AORUS INFINITY NEXT already in this catalog, the X670E AORUS Master is a chipset generation behind and limited to Wi-Fi 6E rather than Wi-Fi 7, but its E-ATX layout and dual-chipset PCIe 5.0 design still make it competitive for builders who found a good price on launch-era X670E stock.
