Gigabyte X570S AORUS PRO AX is a high-performance gaming graphics card.
It's a decent board, the non-S version lacks some advanced options (no POST code, no plug-and-play M2...), but offers solid VRM, plenty of connectivity (USB and many PCIe ports for enthusiasts), and essential functions like debug LED and flashback. The X570 lets you run two 2MHz cores on Gen4.
Certain motherboards feature a two-digit LCD screen that can display any POST codes when your system doesn’t boot. My previous X99A MPOWER model had this handy for troubleshooting. The X570S lacks the LCD but offers debug LEDs that indicate problems with the CPU, RAM, GPU, etc., though they don’t provide a specific code.
You need to decide whether to skip the motherboard heat sinks and use the regular SN850 units or take out the SN850s from their internal heat sinks and run them without any protection. I chose the latter, it looks cleaner and they stay much cooler.
