Finished Looks
After setting up the Gigabyte X570S AERO G for testing, we get a glimpse of it powered up. Besides having white as an accent color, there isn't much else to speak about. After all, this is marketed towards content creators. It is not as bland as say a true workstation class motherboard of the green puke variety, but it is certainly limited on the "gamers" vibe. If you have a computer case on your desk with a window for the side-panel, the Gigabyte X570S AERO G has a bit of designer flare to it with its sleek and at least it isn't a green PCB. Which is more than expected.

Supporting Hardware
Testing is performed with the newest available version of the BIOS at the time. All BIOS settings related to the CPU are left untouched. XMP is enabled for the memory. However, if the primary, secondary or tertiary memory timings are incorrectly set by the BIOS, it is tested as-is to mimic a standard user. The same goes for the CPU. Unless it is a bug in the current BIOS—i.e., not present in other versions—any and all CPU boost parameters are left alone.
