The Gigabyte X570 AORUS ELITE is equipped to support AMDs Zen 2, the 3rd generation of the Ryzen Processor family.The chipset features PCIe Gen 4, giving you plenty of headroom for high speed solid state drives and supported PCIe Gen 4 graphics cards, native USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports and an overall more powerful chipset. The chipset uses active on board cooling, through the use of a mini heatsink and fan, or direct contact heat pipes (dependent on manufacturer), to ensure constant cooling delivering consistent and ultimate performance.
