Lighting everywhere, Premium audio, Great looks, USB 3.1 everywhere
Too much SATA, not enough M.2
Hindsight is a great thing. It tells us that AMD didn't give motherboard partners ample time before the Ryzen 7 launch to optimise boards. Successive BIOSes have made the AM4 platform more stable, with the Gigabyte Aorus AX370-Gaming 5 showing just how fa...

Superb fan control system with good monitoring capabilities, Strong customisability for the RGB LED lighting solution, Good brightness and colour accuracy for the onboard RGB LEDs, PCIe 3.0 x4 M.2 and U.2 connectors, XMP setting worked well with our 3200M
No internal 10Gbps USB 3.1 Gen 2 header, No M.2 heatsink or cooling method provided, UEFI is functional but navigation, layout, and included features could be improved
The Gigabyte Aorus AX370-Gaming 5 is a well-balanced motherboard that offers superb fan control capabilities, an excellent RGB LED system, and a strong variety of connectivity for its £205 asking price.Benchmark results on the Gaming 5 put it at slight pe...
Despite some slightly slower performance figures and marginally lower overclock, the Aorus AX370-Gaming 5 is a far more stable board to work with than the Asus Crosshair VI Hero. It recovered from overzealous overclocks with no need to reset the BIOS - so...
Attractive design, Customisable RGB LED lighting (can be controlled via mobile app), Excellent performance, 8x 4pin hybrid fan headers (including 2x 24W support), Features SATA Express, M.2, and NVMe U.2, 10x USB 3.1 ports (including 4x 3.1 Gen 2), Dual
No front panel USB 3.1 Gen 2 connector, M.2/U.2 share PCIe lanes (meaning only one can be used at a time), Locked Base clock
GIGABYTE have provided enthusiasts and gamers with one hell of a motherboard to support the latest CPUs from AMD. Those in the AMD camp have been stuck with the 990FX motherboards for so long that contemporary motherboards almost look beautifully alien. W...
Abstract: Taking a closer look at the latest AORUS motherboard on the latest AMD AM4 X370 chipset, the GAMING 5 sports a nice 10 digital power phase design which is on par with the latest top AM4 model from ASUS ROG (Crosshair VI Hero), which in my opinion, is a ve...

Well built, Looks good, Full feature set
Premium price, M.2 drive sits right beneath graphics card
We haven't seen any other AM4 motherboards to compare with at the moment and this is quite expensive at $319. It is fully featured and reasonable value but we'd like to test it with better cooling (which we're assured will be arriving imminently) to check...
Overall, this is a fantastic motherboard. This shouldn't come as a big surprise to anyone since it is largely a clone of the Intel-based AORUS Z270X-Gaming 5 model, which is a motherboard that we really liked. There is no reason to start from scratch when...
Dual BIOS, Plenty of customisation options, Dual ethernet ports
No audio chipset shielding, Minor quirks with the BIOS
With a lot of customizability options, the GIGABYTE AX370-GAMING 5 is a great motherboard for those jumping onto the Ryzen bandwagon. It scores quite well in our benchmarks and we see no reason to not recommend it to be paired with an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X CP...
It lacks extra goodies, but delivers on features and performance. If you haven't upgraded your rig in ages and are finally looking to pull the trigger, this is a strong option to consider.(previously published in issue June 2017)...
