As our second AMD X370 motherboard review, I will be putting the GIGABYTE/Aorus AX370-Gaming 5 under the microscope, and dissect its secrets.

ASRock’s X370 Taichi is their third Taichi branded motherboard to hit the market. The Taichi is one of ASRock’s top-end motherboards, so it’s loaded with the latest features.
