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

I love this motherboard. I recently just bought all new parts for a new PC I was building at was looking for a motherboard that had everything i needed as I messed up last time when building a PC. This motherboard had everything I needed for the new AMD CPU and had wifi7 integrated into the motherboard so if my internet went out I can use my phones WIFI easily.The BIOS is intuitive, easy to navigate and overclock. Everything fit well into new PC and everything runs great!Overall great motherboardGreat BIOS interfaceEasy setupWIFI 7I personally like GIGABYTE products also got a 5080 from them.

It arrived in a ragged state like it was bashed through rain all torn, the box was safe but the motherboard itself has NO screws, WRONG retention clip and not fitting the description at all, a bunch of the slots are loose, and it might be secondhand at a high degree... Horrible experience

I bought this board with a credit I received from Amazon. I confirmed my RAM and AMD CPU were compatible with this board thru messaging Gigabyte directly before I purchased it. After installing everything and booting it up, the DRAM trouble light came on. Long story short, I was communicating with Gigabyte support trying to t/s this problem. Final step in t/s after all other tries were unsuccessful, was to remove the CPU and check the seat and sure enough it appears that a pin was bent though it was so tiny it was hard to tell even with a magnifying glass, but it did appear that might have been damaged. After I sent pictures of the defect to support, I never heard back from them again! Though initially they tried to help, but I think once it was determined that the board was defective I never heard back from them. Luckily I was still under the 30 day warranty(by 2 days), I decided to call Amazon and complain about Gigabyte lack of service, Amazon immediately accepted my defective board, and are sending me the same board back! Amazon has the best customer service than any company that I have dealt with, with the exception of Home Depot which also has excellent c/s.After going thru the 1 star reviews I see that this has also happened to other customers. With the new board that I receive I will verify that there is no defects on the CPU seat and if I get a DRAM indication trouble light again, I wont need to t/s, I will just sent it back again and possibly Amazon will let me get a different board from a different company.This is a new review regarding the 2nd board from Gigabyte. I was able to download my win10 OS, but it was real quirky and slow! Windows would not load the drivers for the LAN? Also on Gigabytes support page, there are no win10 drivers for the WLAN/BT, just for win11. I ended up trying to reinstall everything all over again for another fresh install of win10 and all other drivers, but now I cannot get past the boards BIOS?? Tried clearing the BIOS but still stuck in BIOS. I have messaged support again for help and now I am just waiting. Will update this after Support contacts me. ALSO: There was another quirky thing that happened similar to my first issue with the DRAM t/s light. When I first powered the board up I kept getting a CPU t/s light. But after about 30 seconds as windows started to load the light finally turned off and stayed off? For a minute there I thought my board was bad again since it took so long for the light to turn off and for windows to load. Just quirky IMHO.

全般として満足だが、あえて言えば、ＰＣＩＥにビデオカードを刺す時、他の部品のカバーが邪魔になって、ビデオカードを余り傾けられないのがちょっと

I haven't run into any issues with the motherboard. I must be lucky because I haven't heard any whine or unpleasant noise from the SSD fan. My previous motherboard was an ASRock B850I Lightning on BIOS 3.25 and it killed my Ryzen 9 9900X within a week. I've had this motherboard for almost a month and no issues at all.The installation is a little wonky. It's pretty straightforward if you've ever put a PC together, but they use a long screw to mount to the PC case on one of the corners. They also use a different method to connect either the CPU or chassis fan to the motherboard, it uses some small pin connectors that then turn into the standard 4-pin connector.The WiFi connector kind of sucks, but I don't use WiFi anyway so it's no big deal to me.If you could spend more money, consider an Asus motherboard, but if you can't spend the extra hundred or so then this is a very nice motherboard.Boot times do seem kind of slow, however. I had quicker boot times with the ASRock motherboard, but it's still fine.

Amazing motherboard

Looks great, easy to set up and get running. I have been using it daily for nearly 8 months with zero issues. it has been reliable, temps are good and boots fast. The bios is very easy to navigate through. Plenty of customization options.I've been using gigabyte motherboards since 2012 and will continue to do so.Currently using this motherboard with a gigabyte 7800 xt windforce and 9800x3d cpu.

Pretty good board but not competitively priced. Also for a mini ITX build, the wifi antenna with cable is pretty annoying especially considering this antenna's base angle isn't adjustable, and you can't buy a small third party antenna for it, as the Ez-Plug mechanism is custom made from Gigabyte and doesn't use a standardized interface.

TLDR: Absolutely a 5 star product with just about everything you could want, but there are a few important things to keep in mind.First off, the board is gorgeous and built like a tank. The nearly full coverage metal front and back plates make it heavy enough I was actually a bit worried someone replaced it with a brick before I opened it! All the little features to help make putting everything together easier are quite nice, and the back connect aspect allows a level of cleanness to your build that flat out isn't possible with a front or side connect motherboard. A standard ATX form factor, support for WIFI 7, Bluetooth, usb 4, front usb c, argb, pcie gen 5, and frankly more m.2 slots than any reasonable person would use, coupled with the am5 platform that still has another few generations of CPUs ahead of it means any of your needs should be covered for the foreseeable future. My build includes a 9950x3d, 64gb of ram, and a gen 5 NVME SSD and I have had absolutely no problems to speak of.Now the little things to keep in mind:Be careful setting the board down. It may be built very well, but with the connectors on the back and many of them (fan headers, argb connectors, etc) effectively just being pins sticking straight up, it would be very easy to bend a pin while doing the classic test of connecting everything outside of the case with the motherboard on its box. You could almost certainly just bend a pin back into place, but a bit of care here will save you some trouble.As this is a back connect motherboard, do make certain that your case supports it. The standoffs are all in the same places, but if the case doesn't have cutouts that extend farther under the motherboard than usual, it will be 100% impossible to connect anything on the board. Cases with large back areas for cable management are also preferred, as many cables stick straight out the back, and are rigid enough to need some space to turn.There are two ways to update the bios on this board, which is a good thing, as one of them (quick flash inside the bios) refused to work for me. The other (flashing using the button on the motherboard) worked flawlessly on the first try. Not sure if I messed something up to cause the first issue, but at least there was another way that didn't really hinder progress.One other thing not specific to this board, but that I ran into my first time building on AM5: By default, memory training happens every time you boot, and takes around a minute. There is an option to change this in the bios, and then it will only take 10 seconds or so to boot, as it will remember the memory training.That's it! If all that seems reasonable to you (as it did to me: a bit of extra work selecting parts and testing in exchange for a nearly perfectly clean and long-lasting build) then this board is a very easy recommendation!
