GIGABYTE X570S AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.0)
AMD X570S Socket AM4 2021 enthusiast desktop board. This static record describes this exact model and revision only; confirm the printed PCB identity and use the cited manufacturer's support files.
REVISION / FIRMWARE WARNING: Similar model names, PCB revisions and regional SKUs may differ in connectors, radio hardware and firmware. Identify the exact board printed on the PCB before selecting a BIOS.
Specifications
| Exact model / generation | GIGABYTE X570S AORUS MASTER (rev. 1.0) — 2021 enthusiast desktop board |
|---|---|
| Chipset | AMD X570S |
| CPU socket / support | Socket AM4; processor families and minimum BIOS are limited to the exact manufacturer CPU support list. |
| Form factor | ATX, 305 × 244 mm |
| Memory support | Four dual-channel DDR4 DIMM slots; up to 128 GB. Memory rate and ECC support depend on CPU, BIOS and GIGABYTE validated memory list. |
| PCI Express expansion | Three x16-length slots; the primary CPU slot and lane-split behavior support PCIe 4.0, with chipset-connected slots at their listed electrical widths. Check the manual for sharing and supported processor generation. |
| Storage | Four M.2 sockets, including CPU-connected PCIe 4.0 x4 and chipset-connected sockets; six SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Exact modes and lane sharing are per connector/manual. |
| Rear I/O and network | Rear USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C/Type-A and additional USB, HDMI for compatible APU, 2.5GbE, Wi-Fi 6E antenna ports and onboard audio. X570S uses a passively cooled chipset on this board. |
| BIOS / manufacturer support | GIGABYTE UEFI and Q-Flash Plus; BIOS, manuals and CPU support are revision-specific. Match rev. 1.0 support resources and CPU minimum BIOS; do not cross-flash from X570 AORUS MASTER. |
Compatibility and installation notes
Despite similar names, X570S AORUS MASTER is not the X570 AORUS MASTER. Verify revision, chipset cooling clearance, CPU list, DDR4 QVL, M.2/SATA sharing and PCIe lane map before installation.
Before assembly, confirm board revision, chassis dimensions/standoffs, CPU cooler mount and power leads in the manual. Never infer processor compatibility from the physical socket alone. For memory, follow the documented population order and consult the exact board's QVL; EXPO/XMP and other overclocked speeds are not guaranteed.
Read the lane-sharing tables before installing expansion cards and drives. Observe ESD precautions, protect socket contacts, and record the installed BIOS revision and any update history.
Preservation and service
Inspect the socket, DIMM slots, power connectors, M.2 thermal hardware and capacitors before use. Record PCB revision and serial/date codes, document repairs and test conditions, and retain model-matched manual and firmware files. Do not cross-flash firmware from a similarly named board.
