The board was part of GIGABYTE&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techpowerup.com\/349835\/gigabyte-achieves-ddr5-world-record-and-10-global-first-places-in-overclocking-at-computex-2026\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">G.Skill Computex Memory OC competition<\/a>, and was a part of the company&#8217;s 40th Anniversary showcase. Although built in the ATX form-factor, this board features a layout that&#8217;s optimized for test benches, and not cases. Most of its key connectors are pointed sideways, such as its 24-pin ATX power input, while there&#8217;s a conveniently organized onboard control panel with two sets of ISA 80h readouts, and SMD buttons, which include a cold reboot button. The CPU socket is rotated 90\u00b0 CCW to enable the memory slots to line its top edge.<\/p>\n<p>The board draws power from a combination of one 24-pin ATX, two 8-pin EPS, and an 8-pin PCIe power supplementary input that enables 65 W USB-PD on the type-C ports. The board features an 18+2+2 phase CPU VRM that uses 110 A DrMOS and high-grade tantalum capacitors. This is among the rare few high-end motherboards that use a 10-layer PCB. The CPU socket is wired to two DDR5 DIMM slots in a 1-DIMM per channel topology that&#8217;s best suited for memory overclocking, particularly tightening memory timings. It is also wired to two M.2 NVMe Gen 5 x4 slots, and two PCI-Express 5.0 x16 slots (x8\/x8 Gen 5 when both are populated). The AMD X870 chipset puts out a third M.2 slot, which runs at Gen 4 x4 speed.<\/p>\n<p>USB connectivity includes one 40 Gbps USB4 port, three 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 type-A, four 5 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 1 type-A ports, one 20 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2&#215;2 type-C header that supports 65 W USB-PD, two 5 Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 1 through internal header, and eight USB 2.0 ports, four on the rear panel, four by headers. Network connectivity includes a high-end Qualcomm QCNCM865 WLAN module that supports Wi-Fi 7 with 320 MHz channel width, and Bluetooth 5.4. A Realtek RTL8126-CG controller puts out a 5 GbE wired LAN interface. The onboard audio solution uses a Realtek ALC1220P HDA codec. The board also provides individual legacy PS\/2 keyboard and mouse ports, which are designed to work even if the 100 MHz clock domain is unstable and USB controllers cannot be initialized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GIGABYTE formally launched the X870 AORUS Infinity Socket AM5 motherboard for competitive overclockers.
