Before the official launch, the new AMD processors were compatible only with some specific mainboards, so I was forced to obtain another Gigabyte X670E AORUS Master to proceed with the review. Without flashing the mainboard to the BIOS that AMD provided, the system didn’t boot.

To monitor power consumption and every other important aspect of the system, I will use Powenetics v2.
