Its a great board, just dam expensive!
Gigabyte's x570 boards aren't great, they're faulty https://hardforum.com/threads/gigabyte-x570-aorus-master-wont-power-on-temporary-solution.1993194/
Really happy to hear they're no longer making more of those boards, let's hope they discontinue the whole x570 portfolio and start anew

You cant say that lol 1000's of boards all running perfectly and a blanket statement like that is unfair. if you don't like then don't buy simples. never had a problem with gigabyte boards here.
I can and I did, those are crappy motherboards (a large amount of them at least) and Gigabyte's support is even worse. Go check reviews on US stores, UK stores, reddit etc.
I also never had a problem with Gigabyte boards but now I have along with many other people.
Would you buy an x570 Aorus Master knowing that there is a chance (I don't know the exact figure at the moment) it potentially start not POSTing and you'd have to remove CMOS battery every time?
People started a petition recently https://secure.avaaz.org/community_petitions/en/gigabyte_technology_gigabyte_x570_aorus_master_poweron_problem/?ekkkKGrb&utm_source=sharetools&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=petition-1147614-gigabyte_x570_aorus_master_poweron_problem&utm_term=kkKGrb+en
If you don't believe it, just look it up for yourself "x570 Aorus CMOS battery"

Thats 8 people not exactly a large number, gigabyte sell 1000's you cant dismiss a whole brand for a few issues, i have had 2 asus boards dead on arrival, doesn't stop them being good boards. it could just be a bios fix even or a setting conflict in the bios.
1000's moan about iphones and samsung phones, yet a lot still buy and use them.
That's totally different. 2 boards dead on arrival means you bring it back to the store and you get a replacement. As for this issue, several people RMAed the motherboard, had to wait 1-3 months to get it back and then the problem started happening again (apparently Gigabyte did nothing to fix the issue), let alone their mobo had plenty of new scratches. There's absolutely nothing we (people affected by the problem) can do about it.
Go read the thread yourself, unless you think those are Gigabyte haters spreading lies.
Mine arrived today... Rev 1.1
best of luck!
I now ordered from a German shop. The delivery date is 4th of December as stated on their page.
So, I hope I will get one
Yeah why not? Being EOL it does not mean some stores can't still have some stock. The thing is, if it's really EOL and the few stock that still remains goes to 0, when will Aorus release the new one?
The passive cooling and the 10GbE were really important features for me. Not to mention the excellent power delivery, VRM cooling and the overall aesthetic.
Makes me wonder though how relevant ATX sized boards will continue to be... Do many people use those additional expansion slots? Its been years since I ran SLI and with sound and networking integrated onto the board these days, for me at least there is a lot of unnecessary size associated with ATX boards.

Well take a look at the ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero https://rog.asus.com/motherboards/rog-crosshair/rog-crosshair-viii-dark-hero-model/
It's Ryzen 5000 ready, passive cooling too, 14+2 TI power stages rated for 90A,...
Looks like an excellent board but the 2.5GbE is a deal-breaker for me. My last board ran 5GbE and I have a 10GbE switch and 10GbE connected NAS.
Same reason here, I just won’t build a new system until I can get the right board.
Hopefully something new is on the horizon!
Yeah, for that specific reason I know you're better on the Aorus Xtreme then. Btw, the new Dark Hero has some new improvements and the price is near 300 down, so let's wait for AORUS to show something. @GIGA-Man said some new motherboards are coming but it could be in weeks or months. We don't know.
I've just contacted Gigabyte Support and the answer has been:
"Dear customer,
Thank you for emailing GIGABYTE.
We are delighted with your interest in our products.
X570 AORUS XTREME is EOL and sold out.
Check X570 AORUS Master.

my x570 chipset fan has not spun up. i was stress testing CPU and GPU the other day with my rad fans turned at 500rpm (P12 very quiet - to see how much i can get away in terms of temps and stability) & case fan running at 200rpm. the chipset got close to 60c with my inside case getting rather warm. the fan still didnt spin up.
the whole notion of x570 chipset fan spinning up and being a potential failiure point is really overblown.
that fan should not be a deciding factor on buying a motherboard whatsoever.
