Gigabyte X299X Aorus Master X299 LGA 2066 E-ATX Motherboard

Gigabyte X299X Aorus Master X299 LGA 2066 E-ATX Motherboard overview

UNPARALLELED PERFORMANCE

Powerful VRM design, memory OC capability, multiple PCIe and M.2 slots makes a full function board with possibility and scalability.

12 Phase IR Digital Power Design

To unleash the full power of the new Intel 18 core CPU, the motherboard demands un-precedented strong power solution. GIGABYTE R&Ds selects the best components and never stop pursuing the highest overclock performance. That makes X299X AORUS MASTER an un-beatable motherboard in the market.

Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 4333MHz and Beyond*

AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 4333MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.

Triple PCIe Gen3 x4 M.2

AORUS Gaming Motherboards are focused on delivering M.2 technology to enthusiasts who want to maximize their systems'potential.

REENGINEERED THERMAL SOLUTION

As processors draws more power, RDs trying hard to keep VRM stays cool preventing it from throttle with efficient thermal solution. Along with SMART FAN 5, real time monitor temperatures changes and adjust fan speed accordingly, to keep certain level of performance without too much noise.

NEXT GENERATION CONNECTIVITY

A Flagship product needs to be future-proof so your system stays up-to-date with the latest technology. X299X AORUS MASTER provides all next generation network, storage, and WIFI connectivity to keep you up to speed.
