Question Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master Vs X670E Aorus Xtreme

[Kanishka-5]

Hi All,

I am currently able to get a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Xtreme (Open Box) for the same price as a Gigabyte X670E Aorus Master (Brand New)

Is there a specific benefit to going with the X670E Aorus Xtreme other than the fact that all M.2 support Gen 5 at the cost of lanes from the GPU?

Advantages of the Xtreme model over the Master:
. Higher network bandwidth support.
. SoC Dac up 32-bit support.
. Higher VRM Power Phase
. 4x PCI-E M-KEY PCIe 5 (vs 2x (CPU) on the Master)
. Certified DIMM deck covers

Basically it comes down to small details (more and more it is this kind of specifications that run the price), I would suggest you to go for the Master since you get all the added benefits from a brand new product, but don't pick the Xtreme model simply because of its added list of features unless you really need any of them.
