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

so far so good, haven't had any issues that i could attribute to the board itself. One thing i will note that isnt apparent when you buy this motherboard is that if you use all 3 ssd slots the speed of the bottom 2 will be cut in half due to the way the lanes are setup, that being said you are unlikely to notice this, I only noticed it because I reading the manual while traveling. But yeah, great board quality, it has a clean look, the performance is there and I really love the Bios design.

Super clean board. Paired with a 9070 XT and ryzen 7 9800X3D. Really enjoying gaming on this build.

As someone who doesn't read much into RAM configurations and didn't read the manual at first like many others that have purchased this motherboard; if you are using two sticks of RAM you must make sure you put them (staggered) in the two slots further away from the motherboard, otherwise you will not be able to boot your machine due to RAM light being on. If you are using four sticks, there will not be any issue.Your mileage will vary with how spacious the board itself is depending on what components you are planning to install, in my opinion it is VERY tight.I installed a AMD 9800X3D with a 120mm Noctua heatsink with a single tower and single fan configuration (this is not even a very large CPU cooler it is probably about average). I have extreme doubts that a double tower Noctua heatsink (or perhaps any double tower) with two fans would be able to fit in this motherboard due to how close the RAM is to the CPU socket. As a word of caution just make sure that your CPU cooler of choice will not make contact with your RAM, chances are someone has already done a video of a build with your exact components so just make sure to do your research.In addition to the Noctua CPU cooler, I also installed a Radeon 7900XTX (which is admittedly a very large card). I also have gripes with how close the CPU socket is to the PCIE slot that you will be installing your graphics card into. There is very little space between my CPU cooler and the top of my GPU, making it extremely difficult to reach the latch for unlatching and removing my GPU, again your mileage will vary; do the research.The parts I installed that had a very close and tight fit:Corsair Vengeance 2x 16GB RAMAMD 9800X3D processor w/ Noctua NH-U12S chromax cooler/heatsinkRadeon 7900XTX graphics cardI implore you to take the time and look up similar builds to what you are trying to do to make sure that your components will fit snugly into this board! It works great but can be tight for larger parts (Double tower heatsinks, 4080+, 5080+, 7900XTX, 9070XT etc...).

Works great!! Super easy to set up

Nice board. Fully functional and seems to work well in MOST applications.One application I had trouble with and was unable to get resolved and was the ultimate reason for returning was Metro Exodus Enhanced. This application exhibited micro stutters in the video while gaming. I attempted every fix I could find on the internet to no avail. Eventually I replaced it with a different manufacturer's board and the problem is resolved. I believe if Gigabyte looked into it they would most likely fix it with a BIOS update.Other than that one game I had no issues with it. Easy installation of Windows 11 without needing a seperate NIC, unlike some other boards I have used in the past.

This was the first motherboard for my first build. So far everything went through very smoothly

My experience was mostly positive. It was easy to install. No issues with CPU or GPU compatibility. The onboard wifi is twice as fast as my old PCI-e Wifi 6 when connected to the same 5Ghz network. Using this motherboard for 2 months, it's been rock solid.The bad: CFosSpeed. It's a "network traffic shaping" driver that's part of the driver suite with Gigabyte Control Center. I was having latency issues and inconsistent download speeds. Took me a while to pin down CFosSpeed as the culprit. After I uninstalled it, my network issues disappeared.Other observations: Only the primary m2 SSD slot has a heat sink and spiffy EZ-Latch attachment mechanism. The other 2 m2 slots are open-air with screw-holes to hold down the drives. Pretty old-school.Also, there are only 2 additional full length PCI-e slots other than the main slot for the GPU. Testing my old wifi card meant plugging a tiny x1 PCIe card into a full length x16 slot. I would have preferred if they provided one more x1 slot.

Works well and was easy to build on. It was my first build and the process was fairly painless. Although they make it kind of difficult to find the instructions.Only rating this so low because of all the bloatware they try to force on you when downloading the drivers. Also you can't use wifi until you download the wifi driver, so I had to use a wired connection. Then I accidently downloaded all the bloatware on initial setup, so I had to wipe everything and do a fresh install and deselected all the bloat.Other than that it is operating just fine.
