Less “gamer” it may be, but the hardware is still packing some punch. The 12+2 VRM with DrMOS, Pro Cool, Alloy Chokes, and their Durable Capacitors mean business for maxing out the latest Ryzen 9 CPUs. Plus, with an extra-durable PCB, OptiMem, and heatsinks on the M.2 and armour on the PCIe lanes, it not only looks great but is tuned for better performance and reliability.

I’ve been reviewing 11 X570 motherboards this week, and I must admit that all of them look fantastic. However, the robust and aggressive design of the MSI MEG X570 ACE is hard to ignore. It looks savage, and comes packed with stunning features that are sure to put it firmly on the radar of any AMD enthusiast; albeit those who can afford it at least.

Some motherboards, if not a lot of them, are created fairly equally. The AORUS X570 XTREME on the other hand, looks set to create a new standard for AMD motherboards. Of course, it’s got its rivals from the likes of MSI and ASUS, who have their own flagship, but will the AORUS X570 XTREME have the edge?

The AORUS X570 Master is a gorgeous looking motherboard, there’s no mistake to be made there. I think they’ve done a fantastic job of building a great looking motherboard, that also packs in a hell of a lot of practical features for any system builder. While I didn’t have the price at the time of writing, I know it’s a high-end solution, but expect it to be competitive.

Equipped with a 12+4 Phase VRM, alloy chokes, high-quality capacitors, and featuring massive heatsinks with a joining 8mm heat pipe. There’s also a massive heatsink with active fan on the chipset that blends into being the M.2 heatsink too. This motherboard takes cooling performance pretty seriously, which should keep the enthusiasts pretty happy.

AORUS have thrown in their impressive RGB Fusion 2.0 lighting, ultra-fast WiFi 6 and BT5, as well as 1GbE LAN. Plus, with ALC1220-VB audio, you’ll be enjoying Hi-Res audio and powering your high-end headphones with ease. So, it seems that despite the size, this little board has all the features to stand up against its bigger brothers.

The AORUS X570 Pro is a high-end solution, no doubt about that. However, with models like the MASTER and the XTREME sitting above it, it’s somewhere in the middle of the very high-end solutions. Could this be the sweet spot of “expensive” but also “worth it”? Well, I certainly think so, at least if previous generations “Pro” motherboards are anything to go by.

It’s not all show and no go though. The “XXL Aluminium Alloy” VRM heatsink and heatpipe combo offer big cooling performance for the motherboards overclocking abilities. There’s an impressive 14 Power Phase setup under there, running a bank of 60A power chokes, with an 8+4 12v power delivery. Not the most extreme we’ve seen, but it’s certainly enough to class it as enthusiast overclocking ready.

Need class-leading connectivity? You got it. Obviously, PCIe 4.0 is here, and you’ll find 4 x 16x lanes, as well as triple Gen4 M.2 with Frozr heatsinks. Then you have Xtreme Audio DAC with a bank of ESS DAC, dual audio processors and more. USB 3.2 Gen 2, WiFi 6, Gigabit and 2.5 LAN. If THAT isn’t enough, you even get a PCIe Gen4 RAID card, AND a 10GbE LAN card… and dare I say it, a whole lot more.

With the ASUS Prime X570-Pro, ASUS is looking to strike a middle ground of performance and price. While it is no budget board, the ASUS Prime X570-Pro lacks luxuries like WiFi, multiple LAN options, or over the top aesthetics. Instead, the ASUS Prime X570-Pro focuses on what matters most by featuring a 14-phase digital VRM, integrated rear I/O shield, and HDMI 2.0b support.
