Overview

Design Concept

GIGABYTE AORUS X470 Gaming Motherboards feature a design concept inspired by the wings of an eagle. The sleek design of the I/O armor resembles the shape of the wing while the claw marks and airflow design are inspired by the wing's impressive aerodynamic features. The all new functions of AORUS X470 Motherboards which include their Fins-Array Heatsink, Direct Touch Heatpipe, metal reinforced base plate as well as integrated I/O shield reflect the efficient yet cool nature of the eagle's wings' kinetic motion while flying.

GIGABYTE X470 AORUS Gaming motherboards are based on the AMD X470 Chipset, and support 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors. These selections of boards come with new ID design and covers a wide spectrum of price points and features including Gen3 PCIe lanes, future proof connectivity with USB Type-C™ as well as improved Audio and WIFI capabilities while providing all the performance and novelties of the new chipset. The motherboards represent the 2nd Gen AMD Ryzen™ Processors' performance on this new AMD X470 platform by means of an updated power design, offering the best experience to the users who care about performance.

Intel ® GbE LAN with cFosSpeed Internet Accelerator Networking

Intel ® GbE LAN features cFosSpeed, a network traffic management application which helps to improve network latency and maintain low ping times to deliver better responsiveness in crowded LAN environments.

Multi-Zone Light Show Design

Now 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 application, the user has complete control over the LEDs which surround the motherboard.

Hybrid Fan Pin Headers

Assume complete control over your liquid cooling setup! Smart Fan 5 receives up-to-the-second information on flow-rate and water-temperature through the Hybrid Fan Pin Headers or external thermistor sensors-giving you absolute mastery over your PC.

• All Hybrid Fan Headers can automatically detect the type of cooling device whether it be fan or pump with different PWM or Voltage mode.
