Memory Layout - Daisy Chain Design
With the optimized daisy-chain routing, GIGABYTE X570S motherboards provide a proven speed of up to DDR4-5400+ MHz with high density memory modules*. Optimized daisy-chained routing eliminates the stub effect, pushes the one DIMM per channel in dual channel interleaving mode to hit higher memory frequencies, and provides professional gamers a denser and faster system memory experience.
* Performance may vary in circumstances. Please refer to the QVL list for detail support information.
Support for DDR4 XMP Up to 5400MHz and Beyond*
AORUS is offering a tested and proven platform that ensures proper compatibility with profiles up to 5400MHz and beyond. All users need to do to attain this performance boost is to ensure that their memory module is XMP capable and that the XMP function is activated and enabled on their AORUS motherboard.
* XMP Profile support may vary depending on memory module.

traditional thermal pads in same time.
5. M.2 Thermal Guard III
M.2 Thermal Guard III constructed with 2.6X optimized heat dissipation surface and double-sided M.2 heatsinks to prevent
throttling and bottlenecks on high-speed/ large capacity of PCIe 4.0 M.2 SSDs.
ADVANCED THERMAL SOLUTION
X570S AORUS PRO AX uses an unprecedented and innovative thermal design to ensure the best CPU, Chipset, SSD stability and low temperatures under full loading application and gaming.
Fins-Array II
Fins-Array II uses brand new louvered stacked fins technology which is usually only used
on
industrial equipment that need compact heat exchangers. It has a special secondary fins
structure that enhances heat transfer performance.
Circulation Zone
Because of pressure difference and flow separation, a circulation zone will be formed
between
louvered fins. This circulation will cause flow entrain and eject in the vortice form
which
improves thermal efficiency.
