How to Install Aorus X670 ELITE AX Gaming Desktop Motherboard

Preparing your build starts with checking case compatibility and ensuring you have a quality power supply and adequate cooling. Follow these steps for a smooth installation:

1) Prepare the case: Install standoffs in the motherboard tray that align with the ATX form factor. Confirm clearance for CPU cooler, memory modules, and graphics card.
2) CPU and cooler: Open the AM5 socket latch, align the Ryzen CPU with the notches, and firmly seat it. Install your CPU cooler with appropriate mounting hardware and apply thermal paste if required by the cooler. Ensure your cooler clearance doesn’t obstruct RAM DIMMs.
3) Memory installation: Insert DDR5 DIMMs in the correct dual-channel configuration as indicated by the motherboard manual. Press firmly until the latches click into place.
4) Storage and expansion: Install NVMe M.2 drives into the M.2 slots and secure them with screws. Place any additional PCIe expansion cards in their slots as needed.
5) Motherboard mounting: Place the I/O shield into the case, then align the motherboard with the I/O opening and secure it with screws.
6) Power and cables: Connect the 24-pin ATX power connector and the 8-pin CPU power connector from the PSU. Attach PCIe power to any graphics card if required. Connect case fans, front-panel USB, audio, and other front-panel connectors as specified in the manual.
7) BIOS and initialization: Power on and enter the BIOS to configure memory profiles (EXPO for DDR5 or XMP where applicable) and verify that all components are recognized. Update the BIOS if a newer version is available to ensure compatibility with the latest CPUs and memory kits.
8) Final checks: Double-check cabling, ensure no loose screws, and perform a POST check before installing the operating system. After OS installation, install motherboard drivers, chipset software, and any necessary utility suites from the manufacturer.
