Description

AORUS ELITE performance without the Wi-Fi module

This is the black, Wi-Fi-free version of the AORUS ELITE AX ICE: the same 12+2+2 phase digital VRM, four DDR5 slots and a PCIe 5.0 x4 M.2 slot for next-generation SSDs. M.2 Thermal Guard cools the drives, and EZ-Latch quick release makes fitting the graphics card and SSDs simpler. If the PC is wired to the network anyway, there is no wireless module sitting unused.

Who this motherboard is for

Gamers and workstation builders whose PC runs on a network cable and who prefer a dark look. The 2.5 GbE port, two M.2 slots and four SATA ports cover fast networking and plenty of storage, while four case fan headers and two pump headers also suit liquid cooling.
