Can provide two direct PCIE 5.0 × 4 m.2 sockets), plus two PCIE 4.0 × 4 sockets, players can easily upgrade large -capacity high -speed SSDs. At the same time, on the first PCIE 5.0 × 4 socket, it is also equipped with an ultra -thick heat dissipation armor with a 1.4cm of 1.4cm, and the other 3 M.2 sockets are also equipped with extended heat dissipation armor to fully ensure the heat dissipation of high -speed SSDs, full blood reading, full blood read Can't write speed.

In the interface part, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving shows high-end flagship temperament. There are up to 12 USB interfaces on the integrated backplane. Of course, it also contains 20Gbps bandwidth USB 3.2 Gen2 × 2 Type-C interface, which fully meets the fully satisfaction. Players need to connect to various peripherals. In addition, Ryzen 7000 has a built -in nuclear display across the line, so the motherboard also provides HDMI+DP video interface. In the network part, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving provides Wi-Fi 6E wireless network cards and 2.5G wired network cards. Whether it is high-performance game console or data transmission of designer workstations, it can meet the needs. In the audio part, the motherboard is equipped with an ALC1220 chip and supports DTS: X Ultra sound system to bring players a professional -grade acoustic experience experience. Easy-to-use part, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving is the first time with EZ-Latch Plus fast disassembly design. You can quickly remove the graphics card by pressing the corresponding button. Great convenience. At the same time, the motherboard also provides Gigabyte's traditional convenience function Q-Flash Plus. It can also achieve one-click update BIOS with only the motherboard, power supply and U disk.

In short, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving is the best in the current X670E motherboard in terms of materials and hardware specifications. Let's take a look at its actual performance.

Super carvings and powerful empowerment, Zen4's top flagship performance takes off

The processor used for the Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving Test is Ryzen 9 7950X, which uses a 5nm manufacturing process, 16 -core and 32 threads, and the maximum acceleration frequency can reach 5.7GHz. In the previous Zen4 architecture technology explanation, everyone has seen that Zen4 micro -architecture has been improved in front end, execution engines, and caches. The secondary cache has doubled. Therefore High -frequency advantages, the final single -core performance soared by 29%. Of course, while the performance is improved, the TDP of the Ryzen 9 7950X has also been increased from 105W of Ryzen 9 5950X to 170W. After unlocking the power wall, the output power will exceed 220W, so the power supply and power supply and cooling design of the motherboard are very important.

testing platform

Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 7950X

Memory: Gigabyte AORUS DDR5 6000 16GB × 2

Motherboard: Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER

Graphics card: Gigabyte Radeon RX 6950XT GAMING OC 16G Magic Eagle

Hard disk: WD_BLACK SN850 1TB

Power: Gigabyte UD1000GM PG5

Operating system: Windows 11 Professional Edition

First take a look at the performance release of Ryzen 9 7950X on Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER. After loading the default optimization settings in BIOS, we set the memory to DDR5 6000 mode and restart the system. At this time, the power wall of the processor has been unlocked by default.

In terms of benchmarking performance, you can see that the Ryzen 9 7950X played well on the Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving. Except for the CPU-Z single core, all other single-core and multi-core scores surpassed the Core i9 12900K (visible current version of the CPU of the CPU -Z can no longer reflect the true strength of the new architecture), especially the multi-threaded performance. In the 7-ZIP test, it can even throw off Core i9 12900K more than 50%. Other multi-threaded tests also have 20%to 40%advantages. Strong. Of course, to do this, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER's super carving powerful and stable power supply system is also contrary to.

In terms of professional performance testing, Ryzen 9 7950X performed very well with the support of Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER carvings. Many projects surpassing Core i9 12900K 50 %. It also led about 12%in the Premiere PRO test of single -core and multi -core performance, and also ahead of 2%in the Photoshop test that focused on single -core. It can be seen that the Ryzen 9 7950X and Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER carvings are also a good choice for designer installation.

Game performance is of course the most concerned part of players. Thanks to the blessing of high IPC and high -frequency DDR5 memory, the Ryzen 9 7950X has run out of the average frame rate of high I9 12900K in 8 mainstream games, especially "Killer 3", "World of Warcraft: Shadow Country Country The advantages of "Tomb Raider: Shadow" have reached more than 10%, and the advantage of "DOTA2" has even reached more than 20%. The processor, graphics card and memory can exert the ultimate performance.

After understanding the actual performance of the Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving, let's take a look at some details of the motherboard itself. First of all, the memory part. As mentioned earlier, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carvings are prepared for all aspects of software and hardware with high -frequency memory with the Ryzen 7000 series. In addition to the XMP/EXPO mode in the motherboard BIOS, you can also manually adjust the UCLK/MEMCLKkk The ratio, 1 to 1 and 1 to 2 options. AMD officially stated that the DDR5 6000 ~ DDR5 6400 is the "dessert frequency" of Ryzen 7000. At this frequency, you can choose the minimum memory delay of UCLK/MEMCLK = 1 to 1. After our attempt, only by default, the AORUS DDR5 6000 memory used by the test platform can be directly adjusted to the DDR5 6400 for use, and the bandwidth can be further improved. It can be seen that Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER Super Carving is very powerful in high -frequency DDR5 memory support, especially suitable for fever players who pursue the ultimate internal reaction speed.

Finally, the heat dissipation performance of the VRM part. From the perspective of the actual test machine test of the Ryzen 9 7950X, keeping the 209W ~ 225W test machine for half an hour, Gigabyte X670E AORUS MASTER's super carved VRM MOS temperature is only 51 ° C. 2 phase digital power supply with luxurious VRM heat dissipation armor, which is also a piece of cake to cope with the flagship of Ryzen 9 7950X.

Summary: Create a Ryzen 7000 flagship console, X670E super carvings are worth the preferred

The Ryzen 7000, which adopts the new 5nm Zen4 architecture, has a huge performance improvement compared to Zen3.
