Z890 AORUS MASTER AI TOP
AORUS MOTHERBOARD
â‚ą60100.00â‚ą59950.00
The Gigabyte Z890 AORUS MASTER AI TOP is the slightly more "accessible" sibling to the XTREME, though it is still an incredibly high-end E-ATX motherboard. It serves as the bridge between enthusiast gaming and professional AI development.
While it retains most of the "AI TOP" features for local LLM training, there are key differences in power delivery and connectivity compared to the XTREME.

Comparison: MASTER AI TOP vs. XTREME AI TOP
If you are deciding between the two, here is where the "MASTER" differs from the flagship "XTREME":
Thunderbolt Version: The MASTER uses Thunderbolt 4 (40Gbps), whereas the XTREME features the newer Thunderbolt 5 (80-120Gbps).1
Power Delivery: The MASTER has a 20+1+2 phase design, while the XTREME is slightly more beefed up at 22+1+2.2 Both are more than enough for a 285K processor.
DAC/Audio: The XTREME includes a more advanced triple-DAC setup (ESS ES9280AC + 2x ES9080), while the MASTER uses a very high-quality but singular ESS ES9280 + ES9118 combination.3
M.2 Count: The XTREME often includes an extra M.2 slot or more PCIe 5.0 specific lanes compared to the MASTER's 4-slot layout.
AI TOP Exclusive Features
Like the XTREME, this board is built for Gigabyte's AI TOP Utility, allowing you to train AI models locally.
AORUS AI SNATCH: One-click AI-driven overclocking that finds the sweet spot between stability and speed.
Dual-GPU Ready: The PCIe slots are spaced and reinforced (PCIe UD Slot X) specifically to handle two massive GPUs simultaneously for parallel AI processing.
DDR Wind Blade: This board includes active cooling for your RAM, which is vital because high-speed DDR5 (9000+ MT/s) generates significant heat during long training sessions.
