Conforming to the ATX form factor (305mm x 244mm), the ROG STRIX X570-E Gaming appears as a well laid out motherboard with a gigantic FCH heatsink, including cooling fan. The rear IO is covered by a large cover and is joined directly to the beefy VRM heatsink.
The AM4 socket, compatible with 2000-series Zen+ and the latest 3000-series Zen 2 processors, is supplied by a 12+4 power phase with a ProCool II power connector, alloy chokes and durable capacitors. Keeping the delivery system cool is a pair of all-metal Voltage Regulation heatsinks that are joined by an 8mm heatpipe.
To the right of the AM4 socket are four DIMM slots featuring OPTIMEM. Each slot can accommodate 32GB sticks allowing up to 128GB of DDR4 memory to be installed.
Above the DIMMs are three 4-pin PWM fan headers and an RGB 4-pin header. Further to the right is the EATX 24-pin motherboard power connection and a USB 3.2 front panel header.
Focussing on the lower portion of the board, the large heatsink extends across most of the area, wrapping around the two upper PCI-E x16 slots and over the top of the M.2 NVMe heatsinks. Under the large section on the right is a small 40mm fan, used to keep the new PCI-E 4.0 interface cool under heavy loads. In total there are 5 PCI-E slots, three of which are x16 and two are x1.
There are 6 screws to undo to remove the heatsink. This is necessary to allow access to either of the M.2 slots.
