Gigabyte has officially pulled back the veil and revealed its new Z590 AORUS series motherboards. As you can guess, the new motherboards are designed to support Intel’s latest 11th generation Core desktop CPUs, otherwise known as Rocket Lake-S.

Besides support for PCIe 4.0, the Z590 AORUS also obviously comes with other Gigabyte-esque features and functions. This includes the same over-engineered construction and design, its patented Thermal Guard II heat dissipation solution, but more importantly, the boards now feature a new advanced power delivery capable of funnelling up to 2100 Amps. With up to 20+1 power phases.
Then, as now, the new Z590 AORUS lineup are also integrated with the same audio engine, including a high SNR engine, studio-grade audio capacitors, ESS SABRE DAC, as well as DTS: X Ultra support. In the case of the Z590 AORUS Extreme, the motherboard features a USB-C interface that feature a built-in ESS SABRE Hi-Fi ES9280C Pro DAC.
