GIGABYTE X570S motherboards feature upgraded power solution, passive and silent thermal design, and PCIe 4.0 components to keep your gaming system up to fast and powerful, even under heavy workloads. UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE To unleash the full potential of the latest AMD Ryzen™ 5000 series processors, the motherboard requires the best CPU power, memory and IO design. With the best quality components and GIGABYTE R&D design capability, X570S AORUS PRO AX is a true beast among motherboards. GIGABYTE Active OC Tuner With GIGABYTE’s exclusive Active OC Tuner BIOS function, CPU can work with AMD P.B.O. for gaming and other light workload applications with the highest CPU boost clock, but when the applications require all CPU cores horsepower, it automatically switches to the Manual OC mode where it can utilize the high frequency for all the CPU cores. – Active OC Tuner switches profile based on user scenario automatically – 5% performance increase ADVANCED THERMAL SOLUTION X570S AORUS PRO AX uses an unprecedented and innovative thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full loading application and gaming. Fins-Array II Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is usually only used on industrial equipment that need compact heat exchangers. It has a special secondary fins structure that enhances heat transfer performance. Circulation Zone Because of pressure difference and flow separation, a circulation zone will be formed between louvered fins. This circulation will cause flow entrain and eject in the vortice form which improves thermal efficiency. Direct-Touch Heatpipe II With an extra large 8mm heatpipe and made by a new manufacturing process which has narrow down the gap between the heatpipe and heatsink. The new Direct-Touch Heatpipe II greatly helps to dissipate the heat on MOSFETs. M.2 Thermal Guard III GIGABYTE motherboards promise the consistent cooling and high performance for the users to avoid throttling from the overheating. Smart Fan 6 contains several unique cooling features that ensure gaming PC maintain its performance while staying cool and quiet. Multiple fan headers can support PWM/DC fan and pump, and users can easily define each fan curve based on different temperature sensors across the board via intuitive user interface. Cooling Features High Current Support Each fan headers support PWM and DC fan and Water cooling Pump , and up to 24W (12V x 2A) with Over-Current Protection Precision Control 7 temperature/fan speed control points for precise fan curve Dual Curve Mode Slope/Stair dual mode for different user scenario Smart Fan 6 BIOS UI Improve fan curve UI We increase control points from 5 to 7 and larger fan speed graph for precise and easier fan curve control. Slope/Stair dual graph mode Fan curve can be quickly switch with Slope and Stair modes for different user scenario. Slope is traditional and intuitive linear fan speed curve. With newly added Stair non-linear mode, fan keeps at same speed between specified temperature interval. Manual Input For advanced users, we provide fan speed manual input for more precise control. EZ Tuning Use can place 4 EZ Tuning points at rough temperature/fan speed, and Smart Fan 6 can quickly generate a fan curve. Fan curve profile Fan curve profile can be saved in BIOS ROM, profile will be kept after updating BIOS. NEXT GENERATION CONNECTIVITY A Flagship product needs to be future-proof so your system stays up-to-date with the latest technology. X570S AORUS PRO AX provides all next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity to keep you up to speed.
