GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite WIFI7 AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 4X M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, WIFI7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty

This motherboard is pretty good coming from an older Gigabyte Micro ATX motherboard, has all the connections you would need on the back and more, Q-Flash is pretty straight-forward and simple and I really love the easy install of the the SSD's and the heatsink protections. The only thing I can really state that wasn't that great was that my 120mm fans would fit exactly on my build due to the Vengeance RGB Corsair RAM... wish the ram slots were either slight located further from the CPU but it runs completely fine otherwise, it has been a beast!

The GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite WIFI7 motherboard has truly elevated my PC building experience. Packed with features, it delivers solid performance at a competitive price point. The BIOS 8-segment display is a great addition, providing clear diagnostics and making troubleshooting much easier.The easy-release button simplifies component swaps, which is a huge plus for anyone who likes to upgrade or maintain their build. I also appreciate the tool-less design, which made the installation process straightforward and hassle-free. All in all, this motherboard strikes a great balance between performance, functionality, and ease of use, making it a perfect choice for any builder.

This motherboard has everything a gameplayer could want. I needed a motherboard that included a 4pin LED connector and not all of the MB do. This one does. everything on this motherboard worked, it looks great and Gigabyte has a Tech Support in this country where you can actually talke to a knowledgeable Support Tech and can actually understand them. and I ctually got through to a Tech in a very short time.

I was debating between this X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7 and the MSI Tomahawk, but the large number of complaints about the Tomahawk led me to give Gigabyte a try--and so far, I'm glad I did.The board appears to be well constructed and it's easy to build on. There are plenty of fan headed and the BIOS is easy to use. I also appreciate the peace of mind of Gigabyte's 5 year warranty.One thing that I wish would change across all motherboards is the unsealed boxes they come in. Like most motherboards not in the uber-expensive category, this one comes in an unsealed box, which I really don't like. It would take 2 seconds for someone on the production line to slap a sticker on there and give the buyer a bit more confidence that their motherboard is both genuinely "new" and that no one's ever tampered with it.Overall, I'd highly recommend this board. I've only been using it for about a week, but so far, so good. This purchase also led me to choose Gigabyte for my 9070 XT--I purchased the Aorus model for that as well.

Pins came bent. Had to straighten in hopes I didn't have to do another slow usps delivery. Also, mobo documentation is severely lacking and nothing more than generic info available via QR Code. After I got everything setup, the BIOS did POST, but now I have to worry about missing pins that could cause any number of issues. After reading about their nightmarish RMA process, I decided I'm going to try running benchmarks to check for issues before attempting, which could keep me down for months.

This motherboard has been great so far. Impressed with the sturdyness of the PCIE slot, the tool-less M2 heatsinks made installation really easy, and their heat sinks are really nice looking.. Post code made it easy to quickly gauge if it's booting correctly.The only annoyance I had was the lack luster 1 page "manual" for the motherboard that came with it. It wasn't even showing the correct diagram for this motherboard, which made things even more confusing.This was impactful because PCIE x16 speeds are only available if you use 2 specific nvme slots. Since I had 2 NVMEs to install I had to be careful which slot my secondary NVME was plugged into to not cause degraded GPU performance. Since the paper that came with the motherboard was useless, I had to go online on a separate device to ensure I was hooking them up to not have lane sharing with the GPU.

Great motherboard, that I used crucial 6000mts memory, 4TB of gen 5 drives, and Ryzen 9 processor.Has been steady...no problems. Software not thrilled with though, don't use

USB 3.0 header had 2 bent pins that I had to un-bend with tweezers to allow the cable to be seated, and the fan control software struggles with controlling fans based on VGA temp (fans drop to ~30% constant RPM rather than following a curve, all other temperature monitors work as a curve source) but otherwise a solid board
