This is a high air flow, budget case that can hold up to E-ATX size motherboards. I really like it. Watch the Video Review. I built the 3700X SUPER STREAMER in it. See the second video below. Solid Thumbs Up!

SET IT AND FORGET IT! Key Points to Overclock Zen 2 & 3, Ryzen 3000 & 5000 Series CPU's. Settings are from @AMD & @1usmus and recommended CPU Options for High Performance Power Plan by them for Zen 2/Ryzen 3000 CPU's. Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) enabled in BIOS. This in my opinion makes the best set it and forget it overclocks for Zen 2 and Zen 3 CPU's (Ryzen 3000 series and Ryzen 5000 series). It combines all the best OC up and down throttle features of the CPU and Motherboard and no messing around in Windows' AMD Ryzen Master in Windows which can be a pain in the neck. This example is on an AMD 3700X with stock cooler (a litte dirty). ALL of my cores typically go up to 4.397 GHz by themselves using these settings AND THEN CPU will throttle back down when not needed. CPU will do much better with better cooling. See my video below showing how/where to set these BIOS Options. BTW, time to clean my CPU cooler.

These Gigabyte Aorus X570 Motherboard BIOS settings should be the same or very, very similar on all Gigabyte Aorus X570 F10 BIOS'. These settings are recommended from AMD via Robert Hallock and 1usmus, an overclocker who wrote the Ryzen DRAM Calculator. We are not covering all overclocking, but we are covering the main settings AMD recommends that will let the Ryzen 3000 CPU's overclock the best on their own. They are all in one menu in the F10 BIOS release for all Gigabyte X570 mobo's.

Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/IntenseWebs

*** For Overclocking settings, use only the Tweaker and AMD CBS Overclocking menus. *** It is not recommended to use the 'AMD Overclocking' menu right below the other menu. AMD says just use their Power Plans in Windows or you may use 1usmus' Power Plan. All these setting are now in the Advanced CPU Settings Menu - CHANGE THESE:

AMD Cool and Quiet - Enabled
Global C-state Control = Enabled
Power Supply Idle Control = Low Current Idle
PPC Adjustment = PState 0
CPPC = Enabled
CPPC Preferred Cores = Enabled
