Of course, you can NOT install an Intel processor on an AMD socket. However, an update should be possible without a processor but with a USB stick. But I have not tried it.
In addition to the information from Digitec, which is sometimes not quite complete, there are also pages from the manufacturers https://www.gigabyte.com/ch/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/sp#sp.
All CPUs supported by this mainboard can be found in the following list https://www.gigabyte.com/ch/Motherboard/X570-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/support#support-cpu
The AMD 5xxx CPUs are the ZEN 3 generation.
Hi Gipih, I definitely recommend the mainboard! Because of the 5 5600x you must first install a driver very easier it goes then enjoy! Mainboard is stable luxury and with 4x8gb gskill on 3600mhz runs without problems greetings Mohamad
I have a Corsair MP600 installed in the Gigabyte X570 Aorus Elite and it works great. The space for the second M.2 slot should also be enough for a second MP600.
Yes, I also installed it like this, everything should fit, the fan can also be moved up a little.
I have G.Skill F4-3200C16D-32GTZRX (2x, 16GB, DDR4-3200, DIMM 288) underneath.
Honestly, I can't hear any negative noises from the chipset fan. At best, this has been fixed by an update for a long time. I can only recommend the board.
I can only refer to the technical data:
- According to the specifications of the Dark Rock Slim, the fan does not reach over the RAM slots.
-> https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/1659 "Due to its compact construction no memory slots are blocked."
-> According to this, the height of the RAM is not a problem.
- The attachment of the fan to the motherboard also fits.
To the Boad:
- Not all external HDDs supplied via USB are recognised if they are already connected before booting.
- Before saving an image of C:\ as a backup on an external HDD, e.g. via Macrium Reflect, check whether the external HDD is recognised if it is already connected before booting. If not, the image will not be found when you try to restore it via Macrium Reflect.
- An external 500 GB Samsung HDD is not recognised by me. However, it is recognised if it is plugged in when the PC is booted.
Good luck
Laut Manual des Mainboards: The headers can be used to connect a standard 5050 addressable LED strip, with maximum power rating of 5A (5V) and maximum number of 1000 LEDs.
I use the Smsung 970 EVO Plus on my board. I can't tell you whether it reaches 100% of the maximum speed. However, I wonder why this should not be the case.
