Up for sale is a functional, high-end USED Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master motherboard. This premium board has been tested, performs well [was my daily driver], and has been kept in a smoke-free environment for close to 3 years.Please see the included HWiNFO64 screenshots in the gallery showing this exact board running stably with an elite Ryzen 9 5950X CPU, 64GB of DDR4 RAM running at XMP speeds, 6 storage drives, and an RTX 4090. All onboard voltage sensors, fan/pump headers, and PCIe links shown are confirmed working perfectly under Windows 11 Pro.
PLEASE NOTE: The CPU, memory, storage drives, and GPU shown in the HWINFO64 screenshots are NOT INCLUDED in this sale. This listing is for the motherboard and its specified accessories only.Please read the following details carefully regarding the accessories, maintenance history, and cosmetic condition (all explicitly documented in the photo gallery):* **Stock AMD Mounts Installed:** The original AM4 black plastic retention brackets and factory backplate have been securely reinstalled (see photos).
* **Socket & Maintenance Note:** The motherboard has been repasted a few times. On occasion, non-conductive Noctua thermal paste got slightly into the socket, but it was always cleaned out (see high-res photos showing the socket). The board boots and runs perfectly.
* **ARGB Header Note:** The 'G' (Ground) pin on the lower D_LED1 Addressable RGB header was slightly bent in the past and has been carefully straightened (see red circled photo). It aligns fairly well, but it is untested and sold as-is. Not all of the headers on the board were used but are in excellent condition. Feel free to request more specific photos if interested in boards condition.
* **M.2 Thermal Pads:** Some of the original pre-installed M.2 thermal pads tore slightly during SSD removal due to the strong factory adhesive. They are still present, but the buyer may want to replace them depending on preference.
* **Missing Items:** Missing the decorative case stickers and the small plastic front-panel "G-Connector" (neither is required for operation).**Included in the Box:**
* Gigabyte X570S Aorus Master Motherboard (Shipped inside its original anti-static bag)
* Original Retail Box & Packaging Tray
* Original Wi-Fi Antenna (Packaged safely inside a separate bag)
* Original two sets of SATA cables, two thermostat cables, a noise sensor cable, a 4-pin RGB extension cable, and manuals. M.2 Screws were left installed in the M.2 slots.
* **Serial Number Tracked:** For inventory verification and record-keeping, the unique serial number of this motherboard has been logged and photographed.The motherboard will be securely packed with the wrapped Wi-Fi antenna taped safely to the outside center of the anti-static bag (over the rugged PCIe/M.2 heatsinks) to prevent shifting and protect the pins during transit. Ships in a box with protection. If you have any questions, please do ask.
