Test Setup
For our tests, we used a test rig which includes the GIGABYTE X570 AORUS Pro Wi-Fi motherboard, along with an AMD Ryzen 7 3700X at default clock speed of 3.6GHz (turbo boost 4.4GHz), as well as 32GB (2 x 16GB) of G.Skill Trident Z Royal RGB DDR4-3000 ram in dual channel mode.
All tests were conducted at turbo clock speeds at a resolution of 1920×1080. High or Ultra settings enabled.

Load Temps
During the thermal testing phase of this review, ambient temperatures were kept to ~23 degrees Celsius for consistency. The temperatures under load were certainly within spec for all of the components, however I will add that the motherboard temperatures were lower than I expected, especially considering that the system is very quiet! Under full load the motherboard did not exceed 35 degrees Celsius! Also, do not fear the chipset cooling fan as it was almost inaudible, even with the system under such an intense load!
