Product Overview
Gigabyte Z590 AORUS PRO AX is an ATX gaming motherboard based on Intel's Z590 Express chipset. Compared to the Z590 AORUS ELITE AX, it supports higher PCIe bandwidth and comes with more PCIe 4.0 M.2 ports. It also offers three PCIe x16 slots (one running at x16 and two at x4) as well as WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless connectivity.
The Z590 AORUS PRO AX is designed to work with 10th- and 11th-gen Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors. It supports a large selection of expansions and I/O ports. Gigabyte's Thermal Guard II thermal solution maintains the stability and durability of the SSD during high-speed operations, which can be offered by up to three PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSDs.
In terms of memory support, the 4x DIMMs can each take up to 32GB DDR4 3200MHz memory, with support for XMP 5000MHz modules. It also provides a USB 3.2 Gen2x2 port at the rear I/O panel.
The power supply circuit on the Z590 AORUS comes with 20+1 phases, each of them holding up to 100 amps with the DrMOS power stage design. Gigabyte's engineers also paid attention to cooling the power circuitry, with Fins-Array II heatsink and Direct-Touch Heatpipe II together to manage VRM temperatures.
To spice up your gaming rig, the Z590 AORUS PRO AX not only features RGB FUSION 2.0 RGB lighting but also comes with headers that support addressable LED and RGB LED strips.
Alongside the PRO AX, Gigabyte also unveiled the Z590 AORUS ELITE, ELITE AX, ULTRA, MASTER, and XTREME at CES 2021.
