AMD AM5 X870E ATX motherboard

The GIGABYTE X870E AORUS ELITE X3D ICE is an ATX motherboard built for the AMD AM5 socket and X870E chipset. It supports Ryzen 7000, 8000 and 9000 series processors and provides a 16+2+2 phase digital VRM solution. Four DDR5 slots accept up to 256GB of memory with EXPO and XMP 3.0 profiles. The board includes Wi-Fi 7, BLUETOOTH 5.4 and 5 GbE wired networking.

Build focus: X3D gaming and high-speed storage

This board suits builders who want the X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 feature for Ryzen X3D processors and need four M.2 slots with PCIe 5.0 support from the CPU. It also fits users who require USB4 Type-C connectivity and a 7.1 channel Realtek ALC1220 audio codec. Users planning to run Ryzen 8000 series CPUs should note the primary PCIe x16 slot operates at PCIe 4.0 x8 instead of 5.0 x16.

Deciding spec: CPU-linked PCIe 5.0 x16 and M.2

The single specification that decides fit is the CPU-dependent PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and the CPU-linked M.2 connector. Ryzen 9000 and 7000 series processors enable PCIe 5.0 x16 graphics and PCIe 5.0 x4 storage on the top M.2 slot, while Ryzen 8000 series processors limit the graphics slot to PCIe 4.0 x8 and the M.2 to PCIe 4.0 speeds.
