Looks like my MSI X570 Gaming Edge is going bad so I need an upgrade. I have 4 NVME drives which would be great with either of these boards but I can't decide which is best for me.
Primarily I game and I'm running an AMD build... 5950x + RX 6900XT
GIGABYTE X570S AERO G
GIGABYTE X570S AORUS Master
AERO seems geared for content creation but both seem to be very capable. I believe AUROS Master series is their top of the line model.
I REALLY like the Master board now that I've noticed the Clear CMOS button. I was thinking about making one for my current board before it started acting funny.
i'd like to have a board with 4 M2's. But then again, I'm only running 1 at the current time...so I guess I don't really need it.
Well, I got the Aorus Master and everything works just fine except the 3rd PCI-E slot doesn't register? Any ideas?
There's 4 NVME's, 1 sata ssd, one GPU, and an ASUS AC-88 wifi card.
At first the Sata drive wasn't registering so then I moved it into I think sata slot 3 and it now registers.
The wifi card didn't register in PCI-E slot 3, so I moved it up to 2 and it now works.
Problem is I have a 5th NVME with a PCI-E X16 adapter so I can then merge the 2tb game drive with the 2tb nvme that's going into slot 3, if I get it to work....
