GIGABYTEX870E AORUS PRO ICE AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 4X M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, WIFI7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty

The GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X motherboard was packaged well, with all expected components included. The installation process was straightforward, with all components fitting perfectly onto the motherboard.Performance-wise, the motherboard met my expectations. However, I have reservations about manufacturers including WiFi on enthusiast boards. Ethernet provides a more stable connection, and omitting the wireless chips could reduce costs. For a board designed for enthusiasts, it’s safe to assume most users will prefer hard-lined Ethernet.Compatibility was excellent. My Noctua NH-D15 cooler from my older setup fit perfectly on the new motherboard. The BIOS is user-friendly and easy to navigate, although setting up the AMD Expo settings required a bit of research.Aesthetically, the motherboard is pleasing and fits well with the overall look of my build. However, when it comes to value for money, I feel the board is overpriced. While it caters to enthusiasts looking for top-tier components, there are cheaper alternatives that offer similar performance.Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase. Gigabyte produces solid components, and I decided to switch from Asus due to their increasing prices and perceived drop in quality. I would recommend the GIGABYTE X670E AORUS PRO X to those looking to go above and beyond in their build, but for those seeking value, there are more cost-effective options available.

Whether you’re building a gaming rig or a workstation, the X870E PROVINCE delivers exceptional performance and value.

I bought Gigabyte AORUS X870E Pro ICE motherboard during Thanksgiving holiday to build my first AMD PC. I was excited to build an AMD PC, having only built PCs based on Intel CPU in the past. My first impression of the Pro ICE motherboard was its appearance. It is one of the most beautiful white motherboard on the market and its parts quality is high with almost all the functions I need.Installation of AORUS Pro ICE was quite easy, especially for SSD. No tool was needed to open heatsink cover to access the SSD locations, and the SSD was easy to plug in and lock. Since my SSD is CRUCIAL T700, I also installed THERMALRIGHT HR-10 2280 PRO Heatsink with fan. The installation was fast thanks to the motherboard having enough space for the fan heatsink, but I had to remove the thermal pad from the motherboard's SSD location to allow the SSD lock to reach T700. My G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal (in gold color) is a perfect match to this pure white board and HYTE Y70 infinite case,which makes my PC look gorgeous.AORUS Pro ICE performance is also good. AMD 9950x can be overclocked to 5.5 GHz on my system with LIAN LI HydroShift cooler and memory Trident Z5 can reach to 6400 MT/s.There are three things that this motherboard needs to be improved. First one is about PCIe5 x16 lanes plug. After plus a GPU into PCIe5 lane, it is very difficult to release the GPU card due to that the unlock button is hiding behind the GPU card and very uneasy to reach it. The second one is that SSD lock is not flexible for separate thermal heatsink installation. The original thermal pad has to be removed to fit my HR-10 2280 PRO heatsink. The third is that the installation documentation has not been updated to the current motherboard and without a motherboard laid out for each parts and connectors.I recommend Gigabyte AORUS X870E Pro ICE to anyone who wants to build a PC in white color with a moderate cost.

Do not buy this Mobo is bad, it only lasted a week. The mobo is almost 400 dollars and it's not reliable. I have seen a few people with the same issue. Mine started showing a bunch of codes and all of a sudden it turned my pc off. I try reseting the board and many many things. At the end the board was dead. I don't know if gigabyte has a good customer support to deal whit this kind of problems. I had to switch this mobo to another one. Is frustrating to buy something that doesn't last. I was expecting a high quality board and this wasn't the case. If you're planing to buy this specific mobo read this first. It looks great but it doesn't work.
