Gigabyte Aorus X470 Gaming 7 Wifi motherboard
Gigabyte takes X470 to a new level.

We review the Gigabyte Aorus X470 Gaming 7 Wifi. All ready for the Ryzen 5 2600X and Ryzen 7 2700X, yes AMD decided to add a new chipset as well, X470 offers a more fine-tuned experience for your Ryzen processor. And this Gigabyte board, well just have a look at its nice looks and all features.

 

 

Yeah, Zen+ is here, aka Ryzen 2000 or 12nm optimized Ryzen processors, the 'refresh' SKUs so to say. The new 12nm Zen+ processors will work fine with your X370 chipset based motherboard and vice versa, however, AMD launched the X470 chipset alongside these new Zen+ processors. The new chipset offers small improvements in combo with the new 12nm products. For example, to better facilitate XFR2 options. It has been a year already ever since AMD launched the first generation Ryzen processors. It had a bit of a rocky launch with the inter-core latency discussion a 1080p gaming performance as well as memory support. But the tide definitely turned for AMD as more and more people are considering to purchase an AMD processor-based PC, for their next purchase. The memory compatibility issues are mostly all gone, of course, we'll look at game performance in this article as well. But yes, things are looking good. The new 12nm processor generation can be clocked a notch higher. The upper range frequencies at 4.2~4.3 now are feasible, that also means that on the lower end of the spectrum, AMD is now capable to increase base-clock performance ion the more high-end parts. All these little tweaks bring the benefit of an overall faster processor series. Add to that improved memory latency and improved XFR2 ranges and you'll notice that the new ZEN+ generation now has become a really viable and more competitive product. So the ones that have not made a move towards AMD Ryzen just yet, now potentially could or will. 

 

 

The 239 USD Aorus AX370 Gaming 7 Wifi is obviously based on the X470 chipset and this the feature set that comes along with it. This board includes support for dual M.2-NVMe SSDs, USB 3.1 as well as an enhanced audio solution based on the Realtek 1220 codec. The Aorus AX470 Gaming 7 supports two-way SLI and CrossFireX configs split between its main PCI Express x16 slots. The PCIe slots have reinforcement to withstand the weight of high-end cards. Ethernet jacks wise you get Intel Gigabit LAN, but also offered is proper AC WIFI. Combine this motherboard with the Ryzen 2000 series six or eight-core processors and you'll be pleasantly surprised as to what it offers. Let’s start up the review, shall we?
