With Asus going somewhat over the top with hulking products<\/a> for its ROG 20th anniversary, it might have slipped under your radar that Gigabyte is also throwing a party. To celebrate 40 years of making all things PC-related, it’s releasing a host of special edition goodies at this year’s Computex event<\/a>, and top of the tree for me is a very spiffy-looking motherboard.<\/p>\n

To make the X870E Aorus Infinity Next<\/a> stand out from the crowd, Gigabyte has gone decidedly over the top, with “flagship engineering” that “combines space-tech and data center-grade design through rocket thruster-grade thermal materials and advanced 3D metal printing technology”. No, I didn’t make that up.<\/p>\n

The ‘space’ and ‘data center’ stuff relates to the VRMs (voltage regulation modules) on the motherboard, in that they’re Infineon OptiMOS<\/a> components. These aren’t normally found on consumer-grade boards, and I suspect the use of them will add a pretty penny to the Infinity Next’s price tag. That and the fact that there are 64 power phases.<\/p>\n

Yes, you read that right: sixty four<\/em>, for a total current supply of 5,120 A. That is, to use a scientific term, utterly bonkers and arguably utterly pointless, because even a heavily overclocked Ryzen 9 9950X3D2 Dual Edition<\/a> isn’t going to draw anywhere near that amount of current. At the very least, you’ll know that whatever Ryzen you throw in there, the VRMs aren’t going to be stressed.<\/p>\n
