Unleash the potential of Pinnacle Ridge
In the spring of 2018, Gigabyte introduced its debut motherboards based on the X470 chipset, capable of fully unlocking the potential of the Pinnacle Ridge family of processors. One of the top models in the new line is the Gigabyte X470 AORUS ULTRA GAMING gaming motherboard.
11-phase power subsystem
The board stands out for its 11-phase AM4 socket power subsystem, advanced cooling for VRM transistors, cooling for M.2 ports, support for SLI and CrossFire, as well as the ability to install a pair of M.2 drives (plus standard 6 SATA) and 64 GB of RAM into the system. DDR4. It is also worth noting the excellent sound capabilities of the built-in sound card, which uses a pumped version of the Realtek ALC1220 codec and boasts an optical output.
Work for your own money
However, with all the richness of the characteristics and sonority of the name, in fact, the Gigabyte Z370 Aorus Ultra Gaming does not show any miracles. A minimum of additional controllers, a relatively weak processor power subsystem and an average level of mosfets in the memory power circuit do not allow us to expect miracles from it, like the outrageous overclocking of the Ryzen 2700x. Plus, there is not the most visual BIOS with rather limited overclocking capabilities.
Advanced overclocking
On the other hand, the motherboard cannot be called ill-conceived: there is no frank race for every penny of cost, the manufacturer did not stint on the installation of metal casings, and the number of settings is enough for not the easiest overclocking. In addition, in moderate overclocking mode, it practically does not heat up, which simplifies the layout of the cooling system.
