Test Setup & Testing

For the purpose of testing the Ryzen 5 9600X we used GIGABYTE's X670E AORUS MASTER as it placed highly in our motherboard assessments and should help unlock the true potential of this chip. The motherboard UEFI BIOS was updated to provide support for the new processor generation.
