Equipped with an AMD AM4 socket and B550 chipset, you can leverage a wide range of 3000, 4000, and 5000 Ryzen series processors, enhancing performance and responsiveness. Four dual-channel DDR5 RAM slots enable you to install up to 128GB of memory to enhance multitasking and rendering speeds. Install an array of storage drives for your media assets with four SATA III and two M.2 PCIe interfaces. The AORUS ELITE AX V3 also has one PCIe 4.0 x16, one PCIe 3.0 x16 (in x2 mode), one PCIe 3.0 x16 (in x1 mode), and one PCIe 3.0 x1 expansion slot so you can equip your system with various graphics and utility cards. Connect your low-powered peripherals such as mice, keyboards, and controllers to the AORUS ELITE AX V3 with USB-A 2.0 ports while USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports are reserved for resource-demanding devices such as external drives, audio interfaces, and more. You can also use Bluetooth 5.3 technology to support wireless devices for a true cable-free experience. Quickly access online assets with Wi-Fi 6 technology for wireless connectivity or use the wired 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port for a strong and reliable connection.
Electrical Design
Twin Digital Power design leverages 12+2 phases 50A DrMOS to deliver ample power throughout your system while balancing electrical loads. Solid capacitors improve transient response and minimize oscillation for cleaner energy delivery.
Performance Layout
An enhanced memory layout promotes faster render speeds and multitasking capabilities thanks to the optimized daisy-chain routing. PCIe 4.0 technology is built into the PCIe x16 expansion slot and M.2 interface, giving you over double the bandwidth of PCIe 3.0, enhancing your GPU and storage throughput.
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the AORUS ELITE AX V3's enlarged MOSFET heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard, 5 W/mK Thermal Pad, and 6-layer 2x copper PCB work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. Smart Fan 5 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.
Front Panel USB-C Connector
The USB 3.2 Gen 1 port has a throughput up to 5 Gb/s while connected to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Hi-Fi Audio
With Hi-Fi Grade WIMA FKP2 capacitors, you can enjoy high-quality audio whether you are listening to your favorite media or talking to your in-game allies. Audio noise guard separates the board's sensitive analog audio components from noise pollution for cleaner audio.
Personalization & Customization
With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE's RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room. UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile according to your needs. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode.
Ultra Durable
Sporting an easy DIY design, the AORUS ELITE AX V3 provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor. PCIe Armor reinforces the GPU slot to withstand heavier graphics cards. Additionally, the ATX 24-pin and 8-pin connectors utilize a solid pin power connector design, reinforcing electrical conductivity while promoting a long-lasting lifespan.
