Even with minimal visibility, the falcon pinpoints its prey and patiently anticipates the perfect moment to swoop in for the kill. The falcon with its laser-sharp gaze dominates the darkness of night in the same manner that AORUS Core Lighting illuminates the vast AORUS ecosystem.GIGABYTE Ultra-Efficient M.2 Thermal GuardWith durability in mind, GIGABYTE provides a thermal solution for M.2 SSD devices. The M.2 Thermal Guard prevents throttling and bottlenecks from high-speed M.2 SSDs as it helps to dissipate heat before it becomes an issue.2X Faster than everAdoption of 2.5G LAN provides up to 2.5 GbE network connectivity, with at least two times faster transfer speeds as compared to general 1GbE networking. It’s perfectly suited for gamers and streamers with the ultimate and smooth online experience. It is also backward compatible with Multi-Gig (10/100/1000/2500Mbps)of RJ-45 ethernet.High-End WIMA & Audio CapacitorsThe AORUS motherboards boast a combination of Hi-Fi grade WIMA FKP2 capacitors and high-end audio capacitors. While the high-end audio capacitors are suited for high-grade audio equipment, using state of the art technology to provide rich sound in the bass and clearer high frequencies, the WIMA FKP2 capacitors are being used widely in premium grade Hi-Fi systems. The addition of this to the exclusive AOURS AMP-UP Audio technology makes for the ideal onboard sound solution for the most demanding audiophiles.Audio Noise GuardAORUS motherboards feature an audio noise guard that essentially separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from potential noise pollution at the PCB level. LED trace path lighting Illuminates to show the separation of the PCB layers.Industry Leading Ultra Durable™ PCIe ArmorThe innovative one-piece stainless steel shielding design from GIGABYTE reinforces the PCIe connectors to provide the extra strength required to support heavy graphics cards.RGB FUSION 2.0Now offering more LED customizations than ever, users can truly adapt their PC to represent their lifestyle. With full RGB support and a redesigned RGB Fusion 2.0 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.

The lack of an internal USB Type-C header is yet another choice the brand has to make here.Now overall build quality is something GIGABYTE is proud of for years and this board is no exception. We have thick slabs of aluminum for the heat-sinks and a thick copper tracing for the PCB. Of course, it also comes with a reinforced PCIe 4.0 slot.Summing it up, the B550 AORUS Elite is still a great AM4 motherboard suitable for the current generation of Ryzen CPUs featuring connectivity and reliability at its core. A rock-solid proposal from GIGABYTE.

It supports the lighting speed of the latest PCIe 5.0 standard. The latest PCI Express 5.0 is capable to perform a breathtaking bandwidth of 128GBps, ready to unleash the full potential of future high-end graphic cards. It comes with Realtek ALC897 7.1 CH HD Audio Codec, Nahimic Audio. Nahimic Audio offers you the most engaging listening experience, vibrant and rich with details. It features onboard RGB headers and an addressable RGB header that allow the motherboard to be connected to compatible LED devices such as strip, CPU fans, coolers, chassis, and so on. Users may also synchronize RGB LED devices across the Polychrome RGB Sync-certified accessories to create their own unique lighting effects. Optimized VRM Design The ASRock Z690 Pro RS comes with 6 Layer PCB that provides stable signal traces and power shapes delivering lower temperature and higher energy efficiency for memory overclocking. 2-ounce copper inner layers provide stable signal traces and power shapes. It features 13 Phase Dr.MOS Power Design and it supports DDR4 5000MHz (OC). Dragon 2.5 Gb/s LAN The ASRock Z690 Pro RS comes with Dragon 2.5 Gb/s LAN. The intelligent 2.5Gb/s LAN platform is built for maximum networking performance for the demanding requirements of home networking, content creators, online gamers and high-quality streaming media. High Speed M.2 and PCIe 5.0 This motherboard is capable of accommodating multiple M.2 storage devices, one of which can support PCI Express 4.0 M.2 SSD, it is capable of performing twice the speed compared to the previous 3rd generation, giving a lightning-fast data transferring experience. It has 8 SATA3, 2 Hyper M.2 (PCIe Gen4 x4), 1 Ultra M.2 (PCIe Gen3 x4 & SATA3). ASRock Graphics Card Holder The ASRock Z690 Pro RS comes with a heavy graphics card holder. You can connect it to your motherboard and chassis with screws. Flexible slide up and down to perfectly adjust the height required for your graphics card in place. ASRock Z690 Pro RS Motherboard Review Building a new PC this winter became rather more interesting when the Intel 12th Gen Core CPUs launched. Requiring Z690 motherboards based on the all-new LGA 1700 socket, enthusiast DIY builders have more choice than ever before.That choice goes further than you may imagine. 12th Gen Core chips feature a hybrid memory controller able to work with DDR4 or DDR5, so manufacturers will release motherboards with support for one or the other memory standard.ASRock naturally provides models compatible with both. Boards featuring established DDR4 are advisable for the budget-conscious user as memory is widely available and costs half as much as DDR5 for the same capacity. There’s a loss in absolute bandwidth, of course, yet for many that is, literally, a price worth paying... |
