What an Upgrade! My “old” motherboard was not very old at all but lacked certain features that this Gigabyte X870 Elite gave me. This motherboard has made my PC so much more user friendly and versatile! First of all, it has so many ports: 3 - PCI-E slots 4 - slots for RAM with support for up to 256GB! 4 - M.2 slots 2 - USB-C Thunderbolt 4 11 - Yes, eleven USB-A ports (7 - 3.2, 4 - 2.0) Plus an ethernet, HDMI, mic, and audio connections With all these ports I can’t possibly fill them up. The motherboard also comes with WiFi 7 - no more WiFi dongle! When I setup my PC before this I had to leave some fans out but I’ve got all my fans going now. Installation was easy, though I am experienced. Performance has been great! I’ve noticed better overall reliability and speed since installation, even though I could really upgrade more components now. My 64GB of DDR5 RAM is dwarfed by the maximum 256GB supported by theis motherboard. My AMD chip is also newer (just got it four months ago) so down the road I may upgrade that too to further enhance my PC. This Gigabyte X870 AORUS Elite is the best combination of performance and price I’ve found so far.

I am going to make this short. This is an excellent X870 motherboard that just straight performs as expected. I dropped a 9950X3D on the board with 32GB of Crucial DDR5 6400 C38 and it is rock solid with the latest firmware and Windows 11 Pro installed. It has everything you might expect from an X870 board including 40gbps USB 4, WiFi 7, and 3x PCIe 5.0 slots. Coupled to an RTX 5090 and a Samsung Pro 9100 I got fantastic, reliable performance for all of my gaming needs. I have been playing Assassin's Creed Shadows pretty extensively and it played flawlessly for extended sessions with no crashes to the desktop, communication issues with devices, or sudden drops in frame rate due to thermal issues. It just worked. While X870 is not necessarily the least expensive option into current AMD, the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite represents a solid entry with a board you could live with long term. Unless you are an extreme overclocker, this board has you covered. This is an easy recommend from a reliable brand, Gigabyte.
