The Aorus Master is targeted just below the Aorus Xtreme in the X570 line-up of Gigabyte, although it remains a high-end motherboard when you see the specifications.
The board offers four DDR4 memory slots and gets 14 power phases for the CPU. Gigabyte mentions the board has an extra amount of copper connections for the PCIe connectors, which according to them should lead to less information loss and better stability. The board is equipped with three PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 slots and a built-in wireless network card from Intel for WiFi 6 802.11ax and Bluetooth 5.0. One gigabit and a 2.5 Gb Ethernet connection have been implemented as well.
