Do you have links to the reviews you referred to?

Note the "S" in the model number. Looks like improvement made to model (non-S) you mentioned.

Thank you. No, I don't accutually have video review on youtube. But https://www.techcenturion.com/x570-motherboards-showdown say that audio quality should have been better. It says Gigabyte X570 Aorus pro uses Realtek ALC1220-VB Audio Codec but MSI X570 Tomahawk use Realtek ALC1200 Codec which is inferior to the ALC1220. I wonder if i play music using sub woofer with full sound will i be able to notice it.

I prefer the Aorus, to be honest. Still for most users, any of these codecs will meet their needs. In most cases, you wouldn't be able to tell a significant difference when listening to music with any of them.

Thank you. Gigabyte is my favourite brand. But considering the VRM temperature, MSI seems to win my heart. But let me think again. I am trying to upgrade my motherboard.

Oh! Forgot to mention, from one of the article that i read, there is 8°C difference in VRM which i think a huge gap. Aorus pro reach 74°C while MSI reach only 64°C.
