How to Install Gigabyte Ultra Durable X670 GAMING X AX V2

• Prepare your case and motherboard tray, ensuring you have the correct standoffs installed in the chassis for an ATX motherboard. Ground yourself to prevent electrostatic discharge before handling components.
• Install the CPU into the AM5 socket with the correct orientation as indicated by the motherboard and socket markings. Secure the CPU lever and apply any recommended thermal solution if you’re pairing a cooler that requires it.
• Open the memory slots and install your DDR5 modules in the recommended configuration for dual- or quad-channel operation. Ensure each module is fully seated and the locking latches click into place.
• Mount the motherboard into the case using the correct standoff positions. Align the I/O shield with the rear ports and secure the board with screws, ensuring it sits flat and evenly in the chassis.
• Connect the power supply cables: attach the 24-pin ATX power connector to the motherboard and the 8+8 CPU power connectors to the VRM. Tie in PCIe power to expansion cards as needed and route cables neatly to maximize airflow.
• Install PCIe devices, M.2 SSDs, and other expansion cards. If using an M.2 drive on the PCIe 5.0 x4 slot, secure it with the appropriate screws and ensure it is properly seated.
• Connect all case fans and cooling solutions. Recheck all front panel headers (Power, Reset, USB, audio) and BIOS/JBAT jumpers as specified in the manual. Power on to enter the BIOS and configure boot order, RAM timings, and any XMP/DOCP profiles for memory.
• Update the BIOS to the latest version from Gigabyte’s support site to ensure optimal compatibility with Ryzen CPUs and PCIe 5.0 devices. Save settings and reboot, then monitor system temperatures and fan curves to achieve the best balance between performance and acoustics.
