Firmware

The Z590 Aorus Pro AX BIOS retains the same Aorus theme we’re used to for a while now, using the black and orange theme we’re familiar with. Like other board partners, Gigabyte includes an Easy Mode for high-level monitoring and adjustments, along with an Advanced section. The BIOS is well organized, with many of the more commonly used functions easily accessible without drilling down multiple levels to find them. In the end, it works well and is easy to navigate and read. Below we’ve captured most of the BIOS screens.

    This board is pretty much exactly what I am looking for ... at about twice what I want to pay.

    And that's about average for everything.

    This review states that there are more m2 slots that are pci-e 4.0 than gigabyte claims. Only one m2 slot is 4.0 and that’s only if you’re using an 11th gen processor. Gigabyte claims the same caveat for the pciex16 for the gpu.

    basically it’s great for an 11th gen Intel cpu, but if you’re running a 10th gen, then it’s missing out on some of the features.
