Hardware Installation
Follow the steps below to correctly install the CPU into the motherboard CPU socket.
•Before installing the CPU, make sure to turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the
power outlet to prevent damage to the CPU.
•To protect the socket contacts, do not remove the CPU socket cap unless the CPU is inserted into
the CPU socket. Save the cap properly and always replace it when the CPU is removed.
Step 1:
On the CPU metal load plate, there are three screws
marked as 1, 2, 3. To loosen/tighten these screws,
you need a T20 star screwdriver. The OPEN and
CLOSE markings indicate in what order to loosen/
tighten the screws.
To open the CPU metal load plate, loosen the screws
in 3>2>1 sequence.
To close the CPU metal load plate, tighten the screws
in 1>2>3 sequence.
Step 4:
Use one hand to hold the rail frame and the other
to slide the external cap out of the rail frame.
Step 5:
Grasp the top portion of the CPU carrier frame and
align the edges of the CPU carrier frame with the rails
of the CPU rail frame. Then slide the carrier frame into
the rails until the it stops sliding in.
Step 3:
Useyour ngerstopullupthe tabson thetwo
sides of the CPU rail frame to release the CPU rail
frame from the CPU socket. Then lift the rail frame.
Step 2:
To open the CPU metal load plate, start by loosening
Screw3,thenScrew2,andnallyScrew1.Afterall
three screws are loosened, gently lift the load plate to
its fully open position.
Make sure the edges of the CPU carrier frame are
installed correctly on the rails.

Step 8:
AfterinstallingtheCPU,usetwongerstopush
down on the upper portion of the sides of the CPU
carrier frame to fasten the rail frame back to the
CPU socket.
Step 9:
Closethemetalloadplate.Withonengerpress-
ing down on the load plate, begin tightening Screw
1 slightly. Then do the same to Screw 2 and Screw
3. Next, fully tighten the three screws. Make sure
the motherboard is placed on a stable surface
during the tightening process.
Step 6:
Push the carrier frame into place and you will hear
a "click" sound when it is pushed to the bottom.
Warning! The CPU carrier frame cannot be
placed outside the rails.
Step 7:
Remove the CPU socket cap.

Hardware Installation
Use extreme care when removing the CPU cooler because the thermal grease/tape between the CPU
cooler and CPU may adhere to the CPU. Inadequately removing the CPU cooler may damage the CPU.
1-3-2 Installing the CPU Cooler
RefertothestepsbelowtocorrectlyinstalltheCPUcooleronthemotherboard.UseaCPUcoolerthatisspeci-
cally designed to be able to cool an AMD Ryzen™ Threadripper™ processor or install a water cooling system to
ensure proper heat dissipation and a stable system operation. (Actual installation process may differ depending
the CPU cooler to be used. Refer to the user's manual for your CPU cooler.)
Step 1:
Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on
the surface of the installed CPU.
Step 4:
Finally, attach the power connector of the CPU
cooler to the CPU fan header (CPU_FAN) on the
motherboard.
Step 2:
Place the cooler atop the CPU, aligning the four
mounting screws with the mounting holes around
the CPU socket. (Note that the spacing between
the upper two screws is not the same as that
between the lower two screws, please make sure
to align the screws correctly).
Step 3:
Use one hand to hold the cooler and the other to
tighten the screws in a diagonal sequence. Begin
tightening a screw with a few turns and repeat
with the screw diagonally opposite the one you
just tightened. Then do the same to the other pair.
Next, fully tighten the four screws.

1-4 Installing the Memory
Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:
•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same
capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.
(Go to GIGABYTE's website for the latest supported memory speeds and memory modules.)
•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the
memory to prevent hardware damage.
•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction.
If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.
1-4-1 QuadChannelMemoryConguration
This motherboard supports Quad Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically
detectthespecicationsandcapacityofthememory.TheeightDDR4memorysocketsaredividedintofour
channels and each channel has two memory sockets as following:
Channel A: DDR4_A1, DDR4_A2
Channel B: DDR4_B1, DDR4_B2
Channel C: DDR4_C1, DDR4_C2
Channel D: DDR4_D1, DDR4_D2
Note: For optimum performance, it is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips
be used. When installing the memory, make sure to begin with the second socket of each channel, such
as DDR4_A2/DDR4_B2/DDR4_C2/DDR4_D2.
Refer to the table below for memory installation according to the number of the memory modules you want to install:

1/2) ATX_12V_1/ATX_12V_2/ATX (2x4 12V Power Connectors and 2x12 Main Power Connector)
With the use of the power connector, the power supply can supply enough stable power to all the components
on the motherboard. Before connecting the power connector, rst make sure the power supply is turned
off and all devices are properly installed. The power connector possesses a foolproof design. Connect the
power supply cable to the power connector in the correct orientation.
The 12V power connector mainly supplies power to the CPU. If the 12V power connector is not connected,
the computer will not start.
To meet expansion requirements, it is recommended that a power supply that can withstand high
power consumption be used (500W or greater). If a power supply is used that does not provide the
required power, the result can lead to an unstable or unbootable system.

BIOS Setup
- 39 -
BIOS (Basic Input and Output System) records hardware parameters of the system in the CMOS on the
motherboard. Its major functions include conducting the Power-On Self-Test (POST) during system startup,
saving system parameters and loading operating system, etc. BIOS includes a BIOS Setup program that allows
theusertomodifybasicsystemcongurationsettingsortoactivatecertainsystemfeatures.
When the power is turned off, the battery on the motherboard supplies the necessary power to the CMOS to
keepthecongurationvaluesintheCMOS.
To access the BIOS Setup program, press the <Delete> key during the POST when the power is turned on.
To upgrade the BIOS, use either the GIGABYTE Q-Flash or @BIOS utility.
• Q-Flash allows the user to quickly and easily upgrade or back up BIOS without entering the operating system.
• @BIOS is a Windows-based utility that searches and downloads the latest version of BIOS from the Internet
and updates the BIOS.
For instructions on using the Q-Flash and @BIOS utilities, refer to Chapter 5, "BIOS Update Utilities."
Chapter 2 BIOS Setup
• BecauseBIOSashing ispotentiallyrisky,if youdonot encounterproblemsusing thecurrent

caution.InadequateBIOSashingmayresultinsystemmalfunction.
• It is recommended that you not alter the default settings (unless you need to) to prevent system
instability or other unexpected results. Inadequately altering the settings may result in system's
failure to boot. If this occurs, try to clear the CMOS values and reset the board to default values.
(Refer to the "Load Optimized Defaults" section in this chapter or introductions of the battery or
the clear CMOS button in Chapter 1 for how to clear the CMOS values.)

3-2 Installing the SATA RAID/AHCI Driver and Operating System
With the correct BIOS settings, you are ready to install the operating system.
A. Installing Windows
As some operating systems already include SATA RAID/AHCI driver, you do not need to install separate RAID/
AHCI driver during the Windows installation process. After the operating system is installed, we recommend
that you install all required drivers from the AORUSUSBashdrivewithdrivers using "Xpress Install" to ensure
system performance and compatibility. If the operating system to be installed requires that you provide additional
SATA RAID/AHCI driver during the OS installation process, please refer to the steps below:
Step 2:
Boot from the Windows setup disc and perform standard OS installation steps. When the screen requesting you
to load the driver appears, select .Browse
Step 3:
Insert the AORUSUSBashdrivewithdrivers and then browse to the location of the driver. The location of
the driver is as follows:
Windows 64-bit: \Hw10\RAID\x64
Step 4:
When a screen as shown in Figure 1 appears, select AMD-RAID Bottom DevicerstandclickNext to load the
driver. Then select AMD-RAID Controller and click Next to load the driver. Finally, continue the OS installation.

B. Rebuilding an Array
Rebuilding is the process of restoring data to a hard drive from other drives in the array. Rebuilding applies
only to fault-tolerant arrays such as RAID 1 and RAID 10 arrays. To replace the old drive, make sure to use a
new drive of equal or greater capacity. The procedures below assume a new drive is added to replace a failed
drive to rebuild a RAID 1 array.
While in the operating system, make sure the Chipset and RAID drivers have been installed from the AORUS
USBashdrivewithdrivers.Thendouble-clicktheRAIDXpert2 icon on the desktop to launch the RAID utility.
Step 1:
Enter the login ID and password (default: "admin"),
and then click to launch .Submit AMD RAIDXpert2
Step 2:
In the section, left-click your mouse Disk Devices
twice on the newly-added hard drive.
Step 3:
On the next screen, select Assign as Global Spare
and click . Conrm
Step 4:
During the rebuild process, you can select the array
that is being built (displayed in red) in the Active
Volumes section to check the current progress.

5-1 BIOS Update Utilities
GIGABYTE motherboards provide two unique BIOS update tools, Q-Flash™ and @BIOS™. GIGABYTE Q-Flash
and @BIOS are easy-to-use and allow you to update the BIOS without the need to enter MS-DOS mode.
Additionally, this motherboard features the DualBIOS™ design and supports Q-Flash Plus, providing multiple
protection for the safety and stability of your computer.
What is DualBIOS™?
Motherboards that support DualBIOS have two BIOS onboard, a main BIOS and a backup BIOS. Normally, the
system works on the main BIOS. However, if the main BIOS is corrupted or damaged, the backup BIOS will
take over on the next system boot to ensure normal system operation.
What is Q-Flash Plus?
Q-Flash Plus allows you to update the BIOS when your system is off (S5 shutdown state). Save the latest BIOS
onaUSBthumbdriveandplugitintothededicatedport,andthenyoucannowashtheBIOSautomatically
by simply pressing the Q-Flash Plus button.
