But freakin' expensive. But it is a general trend for X570 motherboards. Crosshair VIII Hero is almost 200€ more expensive than the previous Crosshair VII Hero...
thx I was wondering why we didn't see the fan...I guess we'll have to wait for actual use benchmark to know if it's enough, on the Z390 plateform the PCH becomes hot unless your case airflow is VERY good, since this one is supposed to run hotter, wait and see
@@fredEVOIX Don't worry. Basically the VRM on this thing is so overkill that it doesn't need a heat sink at all. And that heat sink is *seriously* overkill for the VRM and chipset both. (There's a heat pipe running from the chipset to the heatsink of the VRM, so the chipset is essentially cooled down by the full VRM heatsink and it's the chipset that's going to heat up the VRMs not the other way around.)
That's one of the main reasons why this motherboard is out of stock almost everywhere now. I could barely order one on a local online store (after that I think there was 1 more left in the entire stock).
@@riyuiwashere It sure looks great and it's very well built, feels heavy, solid and qualitative, but I'm currently still waiting for Ryzen 9 3950x to put it to use :). Hardware wise it's a best buy in my opinion.
@@tomaszcodasz , Well it's harder to fit all those features in a smaller surface area. That said, I'm sure they could still fit a good number of the features into a M-ATX or ITX board, but it would be expensive to manufacture & end up just as pricey or even more expensive than this thing.
Well, this just board just moved to the top of my list of contenders. Tom, you managed to make this short teaser review the most interesting item in my subscriptions list for the day. I'm looking forward to the full review.
I WANT THIS SOOOOOOO BADLY!!! Checks all the boxes even including E-ATX. All 90 degree connections along the side... no chipset fan... too bad it will probably be out of my price range for a MB. 😭😭😭 Thanks for the preview Tom and look forward to the full review
Thank you for standing behind Gigabyte, theres people out there who think Gigabyte is worse than MSI, and for me, someone whos been following hardware for more than 15 years, that just blows my mind. That said I still prefer Asus but I would absolutely buy Gigabyte if the price is right, but this $600+ motherboard shit is kinda ridiculous no matter who its from.
Gigabyte has gone down a lot in the years. The msi statement isn't exactly false. Just look at the aorus master board or its z270, z370 and x370 boards. They are pretty much riddled with bios breaking bugs and or vrm issues. Meanwhile msi has caught up a lot and you have boards like the msi godlike z390 I think it was and the x399 creation.
G'day Tiny Tom, Buildzoid did a Teardown of this MB, he said it has the first 16phase controller & is the first 14phase CPU & 2phase SOC without Doublers, You said this is at 15:03 probably one of the best board from Gigabyte to Date, I reckon one of the Best Mainstream socket boards to date from any manufacturer
@@Luredreier it seems you missed the last 2 words in the 16 phase comment, Yes there have been other 16phase VRMs but they use doublers & an 8 phase controller, they previously couldn't have 16 Direct phases due to the controller just being released, the VRM has 14phases for the CPU cores & 2phases for GPU cores if you use a Ryzen APU
Double omg! The case looks like the wettest dreams come through, and your camera is just something else. Super sharp small details without arrays of lights- very impressive.
I've watched this video 3 times now. I had my heart set on the MSI X570 ACE... sigh. Now I'm seriously considering doubling my budget and getting this board.
Even with a doublers the z390 Aorus Extreme has 16phases to the CPU. As far as the fin-array heat sinks, i think they shouldn't have ever removed them. The X470 Aorus Gaming 7 was the first new mainstream board to bring them back.
@Gareth 3900x wouldn't be pointless but, if at this point the bios is subpar then there's bigger issues to solve. I wanted this board but seeing that the the x570 I is $370... there's little hope for me. I may opt to go gigabyte.
I have been Asus only for the last decade, but went with the Aorus z90 Pro for my latest build. Just cant beat that vrm and options for the money. Asus needs to up their game, not just their prices.
i was going to buy this only because it was the only x570 motherboard that has passsive chipset heatsink but now it sounds like it has way more going on
Yeah, it does. Look up what buildzoid said about it. Just search for buildzoid and the name of this board on youtube and you'll find the video. This thing is quite amazing really.
Asus has 2 under $200, and so does MSI...…...not sure about the other board partners, but I'm sure Asrock will have at least 1 in the $140-$160 range as well...……...…..if you can't afford a sub $200 board, you don't need one for anything 8 cores or less and the B450/X470 are more than enough.
Z390 was the big turn around for Gigabyte. I love my Aorus Z390 extreme board. Fantastic quality and features. Pricey but if you want special motherboard they have it going on. I’m a long term ASUS fan and I love what I’ve been seeing from Gigabyte lately. Grabbing one these for my Ryzen system. The light show isn’t nearly as impressive on this though as my Z390. I’ve always liked this stealth kinda look though so I still appreciate the design here a lot.
Absolutely beautiful board, great aesthetics and great components. Elegant, stylish and just plain beautiful. Price is out of my range, but by God do I wish I had the money for this, because it is just gorgeous.
Very happy to see you've got this one, Tom! This is definitely the board I'm getting. For one, it's entirely passively cooled (no fans!) which is a hallelujah moment in and of itself, and besides that it really does check every box I can think of. The only negative I see before-hand is that it's going to cost a small fortune. Doubtful I'll care. :) Let's hope Gigabyte's BIOS revamp is a good one, as that's traditionally where they've been behind everyone else, pretty much. I read through the manual and what is shown there looks fairly promising, so please do show us how the new BIOS looks once you get to the review. Oh, and Tom, can I please request that you test this with 4 DIMMs populated? I'd really like to put 4x16 into it, not sure how well that'll work, clock-wise.. Thanks in advance.
Don't get me wrong it is a lovely board but with a price tag of £700 which cost more than the processors you are putting into them... Not really worth it, i do wish boards do use the 90d angles more.
reasons i've got an order down for this board: passive cooling, the rgb fan commander, epic styling, subtle rgb, overkill for my usecase. it ticks literally all my favorite boxes and more. i'll be putting it in an open chassis with dual loop custom watercooling, each loop having a push/pull 480mm rad, again it's way overkill but the show-value is almost equally important to the performance in my eyes.
Very nice, Just joined the NAS club myself a few months ago with Synology DS 1019+, Not 10GbE but damn what a difference a NAS makes. I have regrets about it.................... I should of done it 5 years ago. lol
Hey man! Love seeing the board early so thank you for deciding to do this. This will be the board I'll end up going with. Have you looked at the back to see how the memory traces are routed? Curious to know if this board's memory is Topology or Daisy Chained.
Trust me, water is a complete and utter waste on this thing. The VRM on this thing doesn't even *need* a heatsink, it would cool perfectly fine even on LN2 overclocking on air just passively from the surface of the VRMs alone. The heatsink really isn't there for the VRM, it's there for the X570 chipset during PCI-E 4.0 workloads. With this thing being the only x570 board I know of so far with passive chipset cooling (through that heatpipe up to the heat sink) Your CPU is going to melt long before the VRMs or chipset is going to get lukewarm if you stick to water or air... And quite frankly I'm considering this board for a 100% passive build (no case fans, CPU fans or GPU fans) in part because of that.
@@shootinbruin3614 Right, so the heat is dumped into the case instead of outside it like with a water loop that does *not* enter the motherboard in any way, shape or form... Seems to me like it's completely and utterly ruining the whole point with a water loop in the first place.
@@shootinbruin3614 Apparently not, no. It's possible that I missed it due to language differences. But honestly it seems more like a case of your joke really not being all that funny... *shrugs*
I figured i'll replace my 2950x and Asus board in 5-6 years unless something huge comes along, lol. Good to see things are going in the right direction though.
I want to upgrade my PC just because of that board. I don't need a new Zen 2 CPU just for Classic WoW - and I wouldn't need a board this overkill even if I did, but DAAAAMN that is the first motherboard to get me truly excited. It's also to my knowledge the only X570 board without a chipset fan - which I guess is a big plus (depending on how loud they are on all the other boards). It would be perfect for an overkill air cooling focused build, just fins and heat pipes everywhere.
@@BobFrostV Well I could see the argument for doing that, IF your current CPU sucks, AND you want to stream, AND you just really like hardware and want the best xD
now i know which board i want...last year it was the X470 Aorus Pro Wifi 7 ... good in all situations...but now...with that premium setup with a 3950x plus Corsair Hydro custom water loops.... come on... it will be awsome
You are right we don’t need one, I would like one, The Z390 chipset has it ,so if you would like it why is it not an option for X570, if the rumours are true it is the one chipset that would benefit from it. I will be water cooling the CPU .
@@nmasson30 Main reason for a motherboard block to exist is to cool VRMs aswell and quite obviously, nothing needs that, even look at the Z390 Aorus Waterforce, there's barely a difference in VRM temps and the CPU temps are way too high. You should just buy a chiller for it and it'll cost less and cool significantly better.
Come on Tom, you didn't even mention one of the best features. This is one of the only X570 boards in existence that doesn't use a fan to cool the chipset. There is a heat pipe going from the chipset to those heatsinks on the VRM that dissipates the heat. Anyone watching this video wouldn't know because you said nothing about it.
@@Sholities No, he really didn't. He talks about the VRM heatsinks, and passingly mentions that the heatpipe exists, but at no point does he mention that unlike every other X570 board, this one doesn't have an active fan on the chipset, which is no doubt one of the main reasons that people would pick this board over the competition.
Not used a gigabyte board since way back in the days of the athlon xp 2400+! I'll be sticking with either my Asus C7H, unless I sell it and get the C8H to use the 3900x
@@Sholities In Computex yes for some of the boards, but seems it's the biggest secret now in 20th century. Everyone heard the prices "oh they don't like them, lets not mention them ever again". That is ALL motherboard manufacturers. It's few days to release and still no info, some don't even have pictures, some don't have specifications. Got a feeling they are now playing chicken with each other and 1st to release any price, others will copy that.
@@thetrashman5252 You get all sorts of exotic features that aren't extensively tested. The boards also sell in very small quantities meaning that bugs go unnoticed for far longer than on big-selling mainstream boards. I'm speaking from many years of experience with high-end boards.
You're simply not going to get enough space for something like this in that form factor... You just *can't* build something like that, as small as that...
Will it be better the Crosshair viii formula .ive always used ASUS because of the bios and overall build quality wouldn’t mind trying this one though ?
This is easily the best board, nobody can compete with this for now, especially since this is the only board with passive chipset cooling. However, Gigabyte's software is probably still a mess, but if you can tolerate it, this is the best choice. Honestly, it might even be cheaper than its competition looking at previous Gigabyte boards. Not that it's not expensive though, probably still costs a ridiculous amount. Crosshair Hero/X570 Master/MEG X570 Ace are probably the best choices, with the X570 Master being the best of the 3 in terms of VRM (Same VRM as the Xtreme)
I want to put 3 NVME drives in this and raid them. Not for added speed but so that I have one larger C drive. My question is will I see a decrease in performance if I do that?
IF ONLY they put this exact same board out in white, i'd jump from my chair. we need a proper high-end X570 board that looks amazing with full cover white armor. (not as ugly as NZXT's)
is there any update for this board and the 2.0 updated version? how can i tell by looking at a board if its the 2.0 revision or an older one?? as im looking at buying one and dont want to be ripped off with an old rev.
Help me pick best one of these 4 amd x570 bords asrock steel legend vs aorus elite vs msi gaming edge wifi vs asus tuf gaming plus. they all same price in sweden. i want to upgrade to 3600 with x570 but hard time deciding witch mobo to go for.
Went on gigabyte page and it was 16 phase, but that was rev 2.0. Rev 1.0 is indeed 24, but in reality rev 1.0 is also 16 phase with extra chokes there. www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSCN2959-e1268680774676.jpg Still that's one mighty VRM even if it's doubled or not. Likely all those VRM heatsink did was cool the X58 chipset :)
I do kind of miss the copious amounts of RGB that they included with the X470 gaming 7 wifi, but at least all the connectors are in the right places this time and the right angled connectors are welcome.
When I connect the 24 pin power connector to the board isn't the RGB lights on the board to light up? As nothing lights up on mine just the CMOS button on the back just stays lighting.
"The only way they could ruin this board is BIOS engineering"... And what is the one common complaint I keep hearing about this board? The BIOS and software sucks. Well played Tom....well played. :)
I got a gigabyte motherboard for when AMD broke 1000mhz in 2001 if I remember correctly and it was a top motherboard doa I send it back 3 times they keep screwing me over since the and before I only use Asus motherboards only this motherboard looks good but I'm going to wait for benchmarks I got everything for my new build just need motherboard and cpu got $600.00 just for 2 parts. Rush this benchmarks asap. X470 ,x570 or x450.
It COULD be an ASUS killer IF Gigabyte spent as much time and R&D into building a decent BIOS like they did with the rest of the board. If their BIOS is just the regurgitated Z390 BIOS then it's gonna be a waste of great hardware. Being serious here, Gigabyte really needs to work on their software side of things, it's lacking way behind the competition in many areas.
Now if Gigabyte really changes their bios like they said they would for the x570 motherboards. But man all the stuff they put on the board and include with it, I have to say it'll be worth the asking price provided it isn't more than $700 usd.
The only nit pick I have about this $699. mobo is why Gigabyte puts 4 USB 2.0 on the back panel when the newer USB 3.2 is backward compatible? Scratches his head.
The x570 prices are bloody ridiculous. I was thinking about the Asus Formula or this Gigabyte one but the prices are atrocious. Im not paying more than £400 for a board The Formula is normally around the £350 mark but looks like the x570 Formula will be around twice that. Geeez, that’s just robbery.
check gigabyte master ... its 1 step below this one whit true 12+2 vram and tones of feature also mrsp is 350$ on that one .. think MSI boards are the worst ... when i seen godlike have 5 usb slots only on back I/O i didn't even bother to look more
So impressed with how far gigabyte has come since the 990FX UDx boards, can't wait to see the review on this one!
They have done an Awesome job with the X570 AM4 Motherboards, the step up from X470 is Staggering
But freakin' expensive. But it is a general trend for X570 motherboards. Crosshair VIII Hero is almost 200€ more expensive than the previous Crosshair VII Hero...
This is the one I've been waiting for!
All vendors should go to fins. Definitely. Breathtaking board indeed.
You forgot to mention one of the most important parts.
The chipset is cooled ***PASSIVELY***!!!!!
thx I was wondering why we didn't see the fan...I guess we'll have to wait for actual use benchmark to know if it's enough, on the Z390 plateform the PCH becomes hot unless your case airflow is VERY good, since this one is supposed to run hotter, wait and see

You should just buy a chiller for it and it'll cost less and cool significantly better.
Come on Tom, you didn't even mention one of the best features. This is one of the only X570 boards in existence that doesn't use a fan to cool the chipset. There is a heat pipe going from the chipset to those heatsinks on the VRM that dissipates the heat. Anyone watching this video wouldn't know because you said nothing about it.
He actually did mention that.
@@Sholities No, he really didn't. He talks about the VRM heatsinks, and passingly mentions that the heatpipe exists, but at no point does he mention that unlike every other X570 board, this one doesn't have an active fan on the chipset, which is no doubt one of the main reasons that people would pick this board over the competition.
@@Sholities Sorry, but he actually didn't. I thought I missed that point the first time through, so I watched it again. Still missing.
37 minutes after upload, 37th like lol. Good job.
Not used a gigabyte board since way back in the days of the athlon xp 2400+! I'll be sticking with either my Asus C7H, unless I sell it and get the C8H to use the 3900x
Going out of my way to own this board.
time to put a 200GE in it to really stress those VRMs
WayStedYou lol me with my x370
I got a queston, of all the x570 series have all of them passive (fanless) cooling or only the one model named >xtreme
Meanwhile $800 price tag. I’ma get an X470, despite without its Pcie 4.0 capabilities.
Yep, it's the best X570 board, only without chipset fan. But I'll rather have eight B450 boards :) (no X470s for me, as there is no mATX)
Get a B550 if you can wait.
Did they actually say the price of the board?
Shame it won't run the 3950X overclocked.
@@Sholities In Computex yes for some of the boards, but seems it's the biggest secret now in 20th century. Everyone heard the prices "oh they don't like them, lets not mention them ever again". That is ALL motherboard manufacturers. It's few days to release and still no info, some don't even have pictures, some don't have specifications. Got a feeling they are now playing chicken with each other and 1st to release any price, others will copy that.
Do you still have the full review for this board or did it get taken down?
The funny thing about motherboards is that, the more you spend, the more bugs you get.
Elaborate?
@@thetrashman5252 You get all sorts of exotic features that aren't extensively tested. The boards also sell in very small quantities meaning that bugs go unnoticed for far longer than on big-selling mainstream boards. I'm speaking from many years of experience with high-end boards.
@@damientech88 I never considered that, but so far so good for me with my x470 gaming 7 wifi.
Did TTL ever explain why this review never happened? edit: reading some comments, looks like written review is on the website and just no video.
This is a great motherboard!
I hope Gigabyte could release the same mainboard in mATX or iATX form factor.
You're simply not going to get enough space for something like this in that form factor...
You just *can't* build something like that, as small as that...
@@Luredreier No, you can build very sophisticated board even in iATX, large form factor is purely for more PCI slots.
would you please do a video of the extreme vs the master and which should you buy?
My gosh...i love that board. There goes my X570 budget....lol
Overkill
DId TTL actually do a review of this board? I can not seem to find one!
It's on the website dude :)
I always use to go with ASUS but at this very moment it looks like this will be my motherboard of choice for my Razen 3000 build
Asus fucked up with chipset cooler no thank you
Will it be better the Crosshair viii formula .ive always used ASUS because of the bios and overall build quality wouldn’t mind trying this one though ?
This is easily the best board, nobody can compete with this for now, especially since this is the only board with passive chipset cooling. However, Gigabyte's software is probably still a mess, but if you can tolerate it, this is the best choice. Honestly, it might even be cheaper than its competition looking at previous Gigabyte boards. Not that it's not expensive though, probably still costs a ridiculous amount. Crosshair Hero/X570 Master/MEG X570 Ace are probably the best choices, with the X570 Master being the best of the 3 in terms of VRM (Same VRM as the Xtreme)
and all those heat sinks on the VRM are going to cool is the PCH. because the VRM with 14+2 phases is probably never getting warm
I want to put 3 NVME drives in this and raid them. Not for added speed but so that I have one larger C drive. My question is will I see a decrease in performance if I do that?
IF ONLY they put this exact same board out in white, i'd jump from my chair.
we need a proper high-end X570 board that looks amazing with full cover white armor. (not as ugly as NZXT's)
I have their Intel 8700k era Gaming 5 mobo, the bios and software is atrocious. It’s functional but the interface is like a trip back in time to 2007.
is there any update for this board and the 2.0 updated version? how can i tell by looking at a board if its the 2.0 revision or an older one?? as im looking at buying one and dont want to be ripped off with an old rev.
Help me pick best one of these 4 amd x570 bords asrock steel legend vs aorus elite vs msi gaming edge wifi vs asus tuf gaming plus.
they all same price in sweden. i want to upgrade to 3600 with x570 but hard time deciding witch mobo to go for.
My X58a u7 from gigabyte has 24 phase power and i think the u9 had more My comp is will running perfect
Went on gigabyte page and it was 16 phase, but that was rev 2.0. Rev 1.0 is indeed 24, but in reality rev 1.0 is also 16 phase with extra chokes there. www.overclockers.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/DSCN2959-e1268680774676.jpg Still that's one mighty VRM even if it's doubled or not. Likely all those VRM heatsink did was cool the X58 chipset :)
I do kind of miss the copious amounts of RGB that they included with the X470 gaming 7 wifi, but at least all the connectors are in the right places this time and the right angled connectors are welcome.
Different preferences.
I'd pay extra for a complete and utter absence of RGB personally.
@@Luredreier Fair enough, though I usually just turn the rgb off in the presence of guests.
When I connect the 24 pin power connector to the board isn't the RGB lights on the board to light up? As nothing lights up on mine just the CMOS button on the back just stays lighting.
If they can price it right they’ll have a winner on their hands. If it’s more than the top range Asus then most will opt for the Asus.
It's good that Asus get serious competitor. I hope good competition will decrease main board price.
Best looking mobo
What camera do you use!!??
Hello guys, can you advise me to take the motherboard threa dripper2950?
X399AOURS XTREME
or
X570XTREME I'm confused what did he take🤔؟
I saw a thunderbolt header? Does it mean this board support thunderbolt 3?
The problem is AMD Ryzen 3000 CPU can not OC over 4.4GHz. Which make this motherboard is useless.
Hopefully AMD will change that, right?!
Can you please confirm if supports 3 Slot NVLINK or 4 Slot NVLINK bridge?
Oh sweet! Does the Noctua NH-D15 fit?
Beautiful motherboard, to me only second to AsRock X570 water.
Definitely the top 2 new boards. Just their prices will be the hold up.
You had me at Demo Mode
"The only way they could ruin this board is BIOS engineering"...
And what is the one common complaint I keep hearing about this board? The BIOS and software sucks. Well played Tom....well played. :)
Rgb is impressive 😍
man its a sexy board i wish i had that kinda money just to spend on a board. Will we see an ASUS maximus Extreme board for these new ryzen chips?
Masybe in time but nothing on the roadmap atm and if the Formula costs £699 imagine how much the extreme will cost!
Waterblock of this version like z390 ?
No need tho...You can destory a 3950x with this vrm, and it still wont get hot.....
@@qiyuxuan9437 i know that gigabyte might go crazy again maybe
Looks like even at a 50% discount i won't be able to afford it
I got a gigabyte motherboard for when AMD broke 1000mhz in 2001 if I remember correctly and it was a top motherboard doa I send it back 3 times they keep screwing me over since the and before I only use Asus motherboards only this motherboard looks good but I'm going to wait for benchmarks I got everything for my new build just need motherboard and cpu got $600.00 just for 2 parts. Rush this benchmarks asap. X470 ,x570 or x450.
It COULD be an ASUS killer IF Gigabyte spent as much time and R&D into building a decent BIOS like they did with the rest of the board.
If their BIOS is just the regurgitated Z390 BIOS then it's gonna be a waste of great hardware. Being serious here, Gigabyte really needs to work on their software side of things, it's lacking way behind the competition in many areas.
Agreed.
I can’t find the serial number anywhere on my board. Where did they hide it??
At 08:58: What are coupon1 through 4? More voltage test points?
When I see these covers, all I see is places for massive dust build up.
Now if Gigabyte really changes their bios like they said they would for the x570 motherboards. But man all the stuff they put on the board and include with it, I have to say it'll be worth the asking price provided it isn't more than $700 usd.
The only nit pick I have about this $699. mobo is why Gigabyte puts 4 USB 2.0 on the back panel when the newer USB 3.2 is backward compatible?
Scratches his head.
The only thing that can ruin this board is it's horrible software
I love gigabyte but their bios is so horrendous I stick with Asus
And price
I've heard that they've overhauled there bios for the x570's guess we'll find out if it's any good in a few days. I truly hope so.
Their bios isn't that bad
I don't have any experience with any other bios lmao, but it's working for me tho
OMGOSH these boards👌👍✌👀🧠💥💨
What camera is it please?
The x570 prices are bloody ridiculous. I was thinking about the Asus Formula or this Gigabyte one but the prices are atrocious. Im not paying more than £400 for a board
The Formula is normally around the £350 mark but looks like the x570 Formula will be around twice that. Geeez, that’s just robbery.
check gigabyte master ... its 1 step below this one whit true 12+2 vram and tones of feature also mrsp is 350$ on that one .. think MSI boards are the worst ... when i seen godlike have 5 usb slots only on back I/O i didn't even bother to look more
