Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master Review

Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master Preview

Test Setup

With an entirely new platform we’ve taken the opportunity to update our test system to include Windows 11. We’ve also got some DDR5 from Corsair in the form of the Dominator Platinum. Plenty of scope to make the new 12th Generation Intel CPUs perform to their best.

Clock Speeds

Like the other motherboards we’ve tested prior to launch there will be BIOS updates available by the time these words reach your eyeballs. We are, understandably, limited on the amount of time we have before we have to get down to testing and so this is the setup we used for the results on the Aorus Master today.
