Customer Ratings & Reviews

Went together excellently. After reading a lot of reviews on other items I purchased for my build, I decided to order this, the GPU, AIO, and processor to be delivered to the store for pickup rather than delivered to my house. I did have to update the bios before doing anything to accept the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. The multiple M.2 slots were one of the selling factors for me. I have a 1TB for Windows and other files, and then a 4TB for gaming (Micron p310's). Be sure to read the manual on where to install them so that you dont limit you PCIe slots. This board also has a lot of fan plugs, as well as RGB if that is your style! I also installed a Gigabyte RX9070XT, 64GB Crucial RAM at 6400m/t, and a Thermaltake 850W PS for reference. All in all a great setup!

[Employee of bestbuy] loving the mobo so far, I have a 9800X3D and 7900GRE working wonders.

Item arrived with minor scuffs but ultimately worked well. Had an MSI board fail to read my RAM and require a bios update before booting. This however worked right out of the box. Happy with my purchase, I would definitely recommend this over MSI until they fix their beta bios.

Excellent motherboard it pairs pretty good with my 5090 9800x3d setup. I switched over from a MSI X570 GAMING PLUS and the BIOS is still good for me to navigate. Makes it easy to undervolt the 9800 x3d for better temps and smooth gameplay. Have not encountered any issues tied to this yet fingers crossed.

Best quality price in the x870 motherboard 100% recommend

Great motherboard pairs well with my 5090 aorus and I have had no issues!

The Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi 7 is Gigabyte’s new offering targeting the mid-high end range of motherboards. Featuring the titular X870 chipset, it offers loads of high bandwidth PCIe 5.0 channels arranged in a sensible way, along with very high bandwidth USB 4 40Gbps USB-C ports. Add on a decent realtek WiFi 7 card, and you have a pretty featureful motherboard hitting at most people's priorities. Out of the gate, this is Gigabyte’s Aorus series, so you not only get a beefy box made of thicker cardboard, but an overall premium experience. Niceties, like the G Connector (more later), thermal guard backplates for m.2 drives, integrated rear io shield, ez-latch mechanisms, extra thermal pads and even a debug code display. Beefy screen printed heat sinks are standard, and the overall motherboard feels very premium and weighty. While the 6 layer PCB is pretty standard affair these days, the VRM is pretty solid with 16 60amp power stages (more than even, even for the most power hungry 9950x). The Aorus Elite is cut from very similar cloth as the Master, Elite and Pro X870e boards. While not the same PCB design, they sport similar VRM layouts, and even top half of the board layout. These are more expensive and boast the X870e chips. These X870e boards have 2 of the X870 southbridge chips offering greater PCIe 5.0 bandwidth and even more connectivity. However, unless you have a need for that extra bandwidth, the x870 offers a ton of connectivity that make it on par with the older X670e, if not better. Modern WiFi and more USB 3.2/4.0 ports compared to the older X670e are a huge reason to go with the X870 variants. If you have any question on if your components will operate at the right speeds, Gigabyte puts very helpful block diagrams near the beginning of the manuals of each board. So when it comes to initial setup, let me break down some of the earlier features. Building with this Aorus motherboard is a treat, simply because it contains a lot of time saving mechanisms that you won’t find on cheaper boards. Very specifically, the ez-latch connectors for the m.2 slots and their associated thermal guards are awesome. You simply put the m.2 drive in a slot and click it into place. The thermal guards also click into place, and are easy to remove while also being secure in place. Each thermal guard has pre-installed thermal pads (just remember to remove the plastic protectors before installation!). There is also an ez-latch button for the PCIe GPU slot, which makes ejecting the card easier. Simply pushing the button down flips the locking mechanism down and frees the card. Another great building feature is the G Connector, which creates a single plug for front panel connectors making it a ton easier than trying to line each jumper wire connector correctly. This is seriously one of my favorite features. The integrated rear IO shield makes it impossible to forget to install, so a huge plus here too. Connectivity wise, the rear I/O shield gives you the vast majority of high speed ports. You get 4 USB-A 2.0 ports (great for legacy, or keyboard/mice), 6 USB-A 3.2 5Gbps ports (2 with bios flashback support), 2 USB-C 4.0 ports with 40Gbps bandwidth and DP Alt mode (meaning you can use these as DisplayPort outputs), a HDMI 2.1 port, 2.5Gbps ethernet, 3.5mm speaker and mic jacks, along with a optical audio out. Hiding in the back is also the q-flash button which can be used to flash the BIOS using the flashback ports w/o a CPU installed. Worried about Zen 6 support buying this in 2026? Don’t worry, you can update the bios without a CPU, then drop that glorious new CPU in. Internally, there is a generous list of ports that can be connected. Interestingly, there is a HDMI 1.4 port tied to the embedded iGPU meant for inside case displays. These can be had rather cheaply on Amazon, and with a bit of work you can use the display to show statistics or just fun scenes as an additional flair of art in your PC. Beyond that, there are 2 USB 2.0 headers, 1 USB-A 3.2 header, and a USB-C 3.2 20Gpbs header. There are no less than 8 fan headers, only 2 of which are located at the top of the board. The rest are lined up at the bottom, so be prepared to run cables. There are 3 addressable RGB headers, along with an old school 12v RGB header. You also get 4 SATA ports, in case you want to add some archival storage. You certainly won’t need to buy SATA SSD’s with four, yes FOUR, m.2 slots. 3 of the slots are PCIe 5.0, and 1 is 4.0. There is a sacrifice to having all these CPU connected PCIe 5.0 lanes, and it’s called bifurcation. This means you give up 8x of your 16x PCIe 5.0 lanes for these. While you can get the top PCIe 5 m.2 slot without sacrificing any of your 16x slot lanes, if you use either of the 5.0 m.2’s found under the 3 slot thermal guard, you will bifurcate down to 8x on the GPU slot. This will most likely be non-impacting, as the difference in bandwidth for nearly any card that can support 4.0 will not be bandwidth limiting, but it’s a consideration that’s pretty common on all but the highest end boards. Especially if you’re picking up any of the latest PCIe 5.0 GPUs, you’ll find more than enough bandwidth on those 8 lanes. Beyond the connectivity, you’ll find one piece of componentry very compelling: the Debug Display. This 2 character LED display gives you post codes and error codes that are far superior to the little LED lights or POST beeps. This feature is necessary if you decide to do some hardcore overclocking, but also helpful for just normal builds. The POST codes can be found in the motherboard manual for reference. Perhaps this board will find a future in your LN2 setup. The UEFI BIOS has gotten a small facelift for the x870 generation (or perhaps exclusive to the Aorus). On first boot, it will detect an X3d chip and offer to enable turbo mode: don’t do it; at least on an 7800x3d, as it simply disabled SMT for me. The bios does a good job of displaying options, memory profiles, and basic tweaking. The advanced mode gets you into everything else, including AMD’s more advanced BIOS settings. There’s nothing earth shattering in here, but there is a ton of good settings fairly well organized. I appreciate Gigabyte’s Advanced mode which doesn’t get in my way. So post build, I found no issues powering up. I was replacing an older B650 board that didn’t have the ports I needed. I slotted in my R7 7800X3D, 64GB of 6400 DDR5, and the existing m.2 SSD. Luckily I didn’t have bitlocker enabled, so Windows, after a bit of reboot machinations, booted right up. Performance was similar, with only memory tweaking being my main focus. I push the XMP profile, downclock to 6000MHz, and adjust the infinity fabric to 2133. This motherboard had no problem with those settings and it booted right back up. Gigabyte’s GCC has come a long way from the old days of Gigabyte’s motherboard software. I still remember the X299 days, and the hard locks I’d experience while waiting for settings to apply. GCC’s RGB Fusion works well enough, allowing each header to be controlled, and even calibrated to the ARGB style of device you have. Fan control is pretty good, but I didn’t see an easy way to manually control fans (but rather have stepping or curves associated with temp sensors). Overall, it’s not as polished as some competition, but it’s competent enough for most uses. Once I was in Windows, I noticed that the WiFi wasn’t automatically detected. I grabbed the drivers for the Realtek RTL8922AE from Gigabyte’s site. This particular card does support the 6GHz band, and its associated 160Mhz channel width - maxing potential bandwidth out at 2800 Mbps when using MLO (Multi-Link Operation). Of course theoretics aside, once drivers were installed, I connected up to my WiFi network. I was able to achieve around 700Mbps up and down, but this was only using the 5Ghz band without MLO enabled. There’s more potential here, but I found the WiFi performed more than adequate for my daily usage. Overall the WiFi and bluetooth are pretty solid. I used an Xbox controller via bluetooth with no issues. Overall performance doesn’t vary much from my previous board. The VRMs of my previous board had no trouble keeping up with the meager needs of the 7800X3D, and this board has total overkill on that front. The Aorus X870 Elite WiFi 7 motherboard brings a complete modern feature set to the table with a bit of a premium price. You get 4 m.2 slots, USB 4, plenty of normal USBs and WiFi 7 in a fairly competent package. The motherboard performs solid, and is easy to set up. Debug codes and LEDs are a surefire hit with overclockers and DIY’ers alike. This motherboard should be definitely given a look for anyone looking for a solid X870 board.

This board looks incredible in my build. Its stealth look brings the whole system together perfectly. It has everything I'd expect to find in a mid-range board at this stage in 2025 and it's backed by Gigabyte's 5 year warranty. The build quality is premium - exactly what I've come to love about the AORUS lineup. Install & Setup: Everything for install was straight forward - removed everything from the old board and slipped the X870 into my ATX case and it fit like a glove. Installing the diver was a bit challenging but nothing an enthusiast can't handle. The easiest way, as with most boards, is to grab your ethernet cable so you can download all the drivers you need. Once everything was downloaded and installed - the system was good to go. MY System Specs & Performance: - Windows 11 - 128GB CL28 DDR5 6000 (Supports up to 256GB) - 9800X3d - RTX 5090 - 1200W PSU - 2 x 1TB M.2 NVME (Expandable to 4) Performance of this board has been great so far. My system has been running stable with zero issues for the past week. I've tested about everything I could think of and the system hasn't skipped a beat. You should also not concern yourself with heat related issues because this board has so much aluminum it's basically a giant heat sink. This thing feels like it weights 5 pounds (it doesn't). Overall I am very happy with this board. It has everything I need - WIFI 7, USB4, SPDF out and the list goes on. This is a serious board for serious gamers. I wouldn't hesitate to use a Gigabyte board again in the future.

good price good use!reasonable price, very good@@@@@

I like building PCs for myself, family and friends and this time I got to try the Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 with Socket AM5, AMD X870 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 7 Motherboard, and it was a good experience. It arrived well packaged and with instructions. The setup is easy, and it could take longer depending on the type of setup you want. This motherboard can work well for everyone including gamers as well as creators like me, it is designed for AMD AMS Processors and the EZ Latch is so much easier for me I like it, and with the DDR5 memory slots for up to 256 gigabytes and for most people this is plenty to have. The Wi-Fi 7 as well as wired both works great for a seamless game day or any other job you want to get done. It also has 4 M.2 Slots as well as plenty of other slots for different complete unique setups and I can keep going with all the connections but the ones I do like the most are the 2 USBC connections and one is in the front and that is very useful for me. I also like how cool it stays even with some stress on it, also how fast it works via wireless when needed. Overall, I enjoyed this build, it was fun and on the easier side, it performs great and has plenty of connections as well as plenty of options to configure, it is also fast, well built, the 5-year warranty makes me feel much better about it and finally it comes in white too.

PRODUCT GIGABTYE – X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 - BLACK SUMMARY OVERVIEW I’ve used dozens of motherboards from many different companies in the past 40 years. This is my first time with Gigabyte. Overall, I am impressed. The GIGABTYE – X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7, is very well made and seems rock solid in overall quality. This MB is in the upper middle range of the Gigabyte 870 line and is full of features and details for serious enthusiasts and casual users alike. Driver support, especially on fresh Win 11 install was hit or miss. Overall, a good MB with many features and good expandability PERFORMANCE I’m not a big over-clocker, so I can’t speak to all the upper end performance bells and whistles (I prefer stability over, for example, 3 more FPS). It is nice to know that I can configure just about everything needed in this regard. Performance wise, it seems very quick and meets my needs / expectations. (my configuration is 32GB 6400 DDR5, RTX 3080, 9600X CPU, NVME Boot Drive, SSD SATA x 4 RAID 0). I’m not maxing out the components, so I did not include any benchmarking scores. For example, the graphics frame rate, which is fantastic, is limited by my 5-year-old graphics card and has nothing to do with the MB. SETUP / BUILDING A PC It was a pleasure building a PC with this motherboard. The ATX form factor meant a nice roomy (not crowded) installation with plenty of room for everything. All the connectors were well placed, labeled, and easy to find. The only connectors I struggled with were the SATA connectors which were bunched very close together on the edge of the MB making them hard to access once the MB was installed in a case. What I really struggled with were the drivers. Windows 11 did not include WiFi drivers. When I tried to manually install the WiFi drivers form the GigaByte website, the Windows installer either ignored them, or crashed, or required a reboot, but then still did nothing. Eventually, I needed to find a long ethernet cable and connect it to the router to complete the installation. Once Windows was loaded, I installed the GigaByte driver update utility and ran auto update. WiFi still did not work, and I had to reinstall it manually. Next the Bluetooth Driver was not working properly and I had to manually reinstall that driver as well from the GigaByte website. Overall, this not a much different experience than other PC’s I’ve built this past year. FEATURES / EXPANDABILITY I’m building my son’s first gaming “Desktop”, and this MB allows me to have plenty of upgrade options down the road. What is important to me (PRO’s) - WIFI 7 Support (Win 11) as I just upgraded my network to WIFI 7 - Full Size X16 Slot but also X8 and X4 slots for extra expansion - (4) M.2 Slots (which support Hardware RAID) - (4) SATA Ports (which support Hardware RAID) - (21 if I counted correctly) USB Ports including USB 4, and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 - I like the easy latch and unlatch options throughout the MB - S/PDIF Audio out for my Sound bar I do wish there were more built in SATA ports, but I reluctantly agree that SATA is more-or-less considered legacy these days. Very few boards have more than 4 SATA ports. Since there are extra card slots, I can partially overcome this limitation with an add-in SATA controller board, but then they won’t be part of the same hardware RAID configuration. (I have a ton of older large SATA drives that I like to RAID up for backup / overflow storage). CONCLUSION As I said, for whatever reason, I’ve not used GigaByte in the past, but I’m very impressed with everything so far. The board is built like a brick and weighs a ton between heat sinks and everything else. There are ample parts included with the MB in the box. The BIOS screens took a while for me to get used to (it is not very intuitive), and there are tons of options to fine tune the board exactly however you desire. RECOMMENDATION I do recommend the GIGABTYE – X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 for serious enthusiasts or anyone seeking extra quality and expandability over base models. It has a great build quality and a 5-year warranty!

I've been needing to build a machine for my workshop, primarily to make adjustments to CAD designs and to send jobs to my equipment. Not quite a gaming scenario, but I need decent hardware to run these and a lot of the best features are available on gaming boards. It also gets a little hot in there, so something that can handle the heat was a must. Packing was a bit nicer than is typical for a motherboard. It came boxed with a badge, a fairly spartan installation guide, SATA cables, and a fun little device called a "G Connector" to cure all your front panel connector nightmares. I've built a lot of computers, both for myself and for work, and I won't use anything that lacks debugging features. This board has power and reset buttons right on the machine (no more shorting jumpers on an open frame bench), Status LEDs for VGA, CPU, RAM and BOOT so you can quickly pinpoint a problem area, and a debug display that will show you codes for more detail. You don't appreciate features like this until you need them. Internally, it has one PCIE X16 slot for your GPU, which seems heavily reinforced, as well as an X4 and X2 slot for additional add-in boards. The onboard Realtek ALC1220 is decent and produces some nice sound, claiming to have "audiophile grade" capacitors. Everything about this board seems designed for someone who enjoys PC hardware and makes everything as easy as it can. The M.2 slots (of which there are four) are entirely tool-free and have satisfying snap-in heatsinks. The X16 slot has a quick release button (no more fumbling around under the card trying to find a clip) and the G Connector lets you snap in all your case panel wires into one easy plug. The built in WiFi picks up a signal from my WiFi 7 router with no issues and gets good throughput, and there's even an onboard HDMI port for connecting an internal display, which are becoming ever more popular and is a nice touch. In terms of connectivity, it feels like it has everything. A total of ten USB-A ports (4x USB 2.0, 4x USB 3.2 Gen 1 and 2x Gen 2 ports, and dual USB4 Type-C ports with DP-Alt, along with a 2.5GbE LAN port. Internally, there's another USB-C (20Gb/s) for your front panel and two more USB headers for hooking up internals like RGB controllers, though the board has plenty of those on it's own, with 3 5v ARGB headers and one 12V RGB. The onboard LED is a nice touch. For fans, this thing has a whopping 8 total PWM connectors, so you can absolutely go wild with cooling without having to hook up a separate controller. I paired this with a spare 7600X and 32GB of 6000Mhz EXPO RAM and it worked immediately without any fuss. I've been running it in an open frame for about a week and it's been a joy to use. Honestly, I like it so much I'm considering getting one to rebuild my primary rig with. Overall, I'd strongly recommend this motherboard to anyone looking to build an AM5 system.

I have always been a fan of Gigabyte motherboards and this being an X870 board got me excited to work with. Being a PC gamer but also someone who goes heavy in other intensive tasks, this motherboard provides some key features that fit my needs. For context - I used a AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 5 CPU Cooler, 2x 16GB Crucial DDR5-5600 Memory, 1TB WD Black m.2 NVME SSD, Corsair RM850x Power Supply, and a Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9070 XT 16 GB Video Card. I had connected everything but was having an issue with getting BIOS to come up. Apparently, I had to use Gigabyte's Q Flash to install the latest BIOS updates in order to use my AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d CPU. This was a board that was not updated to support the latest AMD chips it seems and that's why this needed to get done. It was able to get the BIOS flashed without issue but I still was unable to have the CPU recognized by the motherboard. I was not getting any diagnostic codes show up in the integrated debug screen. I only had one solid CPU light on. Even after troubleshooting it, everything pointed to a dead motherboard. One RMA later, I got a 2nd motherboard and used the Q-Flash to flash the BIOS update. Low and behold, I was able to boot up without any issues with the new board. The features within the motherboard speak for themselves. 2.5GB ethernet and WiFi 7 connectivity for fast internet speeds is a plus. 4x m.2 slots for added extended storage. I love what they are calling the PCIe UD Slot which has 10X strength for graphics cards since these days the more premium cards are huge and heavy. You don't want the PCB board from those cards to bend from its own weight so this solid slot sure helps. The PCIe slot also has an EZ latch switch that allows for easy removal of your bigger graphics cards without having to struggle. Gamers and productivity users will have the best use case for this motherboard. Just make sure you can confirm what bios you have loaded in if you decide to go for the more premium AMD CPUs. If you need to deal with opening up a diagnostic ticket, be prepared for a lot of back and forth with Gigabyte support. It's unfortunately part of getting new technology but once I got a working board I had no issues and everything ran great. I am looking at their BIOS to play around with overclocking not only the CPU but increasing memory speeds.

Build Specs: CPU: AMD Ryzen 9800X3D w/ Thermalright AM5 Contact Frame RAM: Crucial Pro 32GB DDR5 6000 M.2: Crucial Gen 5 T5000 2TB Cooler: Noctua NH-D15S GPU: Powercolor Red Devil Radeon RX 9070 XT PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 1300W Upon unpacking the motherboard, I was taken back by how heavy it was. All of the heatsinks, thicker PCB, and overall build quality made this a heavier than I am used to motherboard. I instantly noticed the quality of this board. All capacitors, I/O, slots, etc looks perfectly in tact and solid. I had no problems removing the factory CPU mount to install my AM5 contact frame and AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, everything fit perfect. RAM went perfectly into the slot. The M.2 fit perfectly in the first M.2 slot. This board has self securing mechanism to hold the M.2 drive in place without a screw. The metal heatshield has thermal tape attached which required removal of plastic protection before installing. M.2 fit perfect once all secured. The ATX board fit perfectly into my Fractal North case, all power and GPU connected as expected. The included manual was very limited on instruction, and only provided basics. I had to go to Gigabyte's website to download a digital copy in order to verify I was connecting the power, reset, HDD indicator, etc. correctly. I also took the opportunity to download the latest BIOS to a USB stick while I was at the site. Gigabyte provided instructions on how to save the file and prepare the USB for proper updating. The motherboard powered on perfectly the first try. I booted right into BIOS with the USB attached to the "BIOS" USB port on the back of the I/O panel, I booed into EZ flash via the BIOS and update went perfectly fine first attempt. I booted back into BIOS and validated all my hardware was seen, I configured my XMP RAM profiles, boot order, then proceeded to install Windows. Once Windows was installed, I was presented with an option to download the Gigabyte utility which I did. This allowed me to easily download all of the necessary drivers and any extra software I wanted. I chose all of the drivers as well as the addition to a Ryzen tweak utility. Once completed, Windows device managers had no errors and everything was accounted for. I finished the remaining drivers, such as AMD GPU and other accessories. I have no intentions of using the built in Wifi, I did test it and it connected problem free to my Ubiquiti Wifi 7 access points. After confirming this worked as expected, I reverted back to LAN. I have had no problems of any kind with this motherboard. My CPU runs at about 46 degrees Celsius on idle and has never went above 74 degrees Celsius when playing games or doing intense tasks. The heatsinks and overall quality of this board has kept my system very cool and rock solid. I have absolutely no complaints about this board and it is performing flawlessly. It has plenty of I/O to support anything current on the market and this would be a fantastic choice for anyone looking to build a new AM5 system.

I have always enjoyed building my own PCs and have become very particular on the quality and value over the years. I have been very impressed with how well and durable the motherboard was made. The soldering, heatsinks and weight distribution was impressive along with the number of features installed onto the motherboard. Right out of the box, it was packaged well and easy to install into my ATX PC case. The only issue that I ran into right away was gigabyte did not include a detailed manual for all the connections and compatibilities. They did include a very basic "Install Guide" however that is pretty much useless when wanting to install RAM, Fan Chassis and other connections. After finally locating the actually manual off gigabyte website the install was a success! Right on boot, I was impressed at how cool this hardware runs with just fans. I decided to OC my CPU / RAM about 20% and was still under heat worries. This motherboard is very fast with the AMD x870 chipset and was impressed at the audio abilities that came with the motherboard. I used DDR5 5200 RAM for 256GB. Theres an old saying you can never have enough RAM lol. The motherboard LAN has an impressive 2.5Gbps however my router does not have such a transfer speed so im stuck at 1Gpbs at this time. Storage was also very impressive and easy to use a M.2 Solid State Drive with my legacy Hard Disk Drives. The SATA 6Gps transfer speed is impressive and even faster if you go in a RAID format. As for wireless, I do love the WiFI 7 and Bluetooth 5.4 however since I do not have hardware supporting it I am missing out. I guess its time for me to upgrade my other stuff (Sorry Wife) haha Overall, this was a very impressive Motherboard with tons of features and a great quality build. Strongly recommend this motherboard!

I had no issues installing this board and getting it up and running at expected EXPO speeds. The physical board design seems pretty well thought out with a couple of exceptions. Nearly all the fan headers are on the very bottom of the board so I had to order fan extensions to reach all the case fans. The fan control options in the BIOS are also rudimentary compared to what I'm used to from Asus and MSI. I wasn't able to get them all working with fancontrol software either because a few of them are controlled by a separate chip. If I could knock off a half star for the fan headaches I would but it's not enough to bring the rating down a full star.

I usually go with Asus for my MBs, but had problems with my X870 Asus Prime 2nd PCI Express slot. It basically did not work, no matter what I did. This MB was easy to setup, just took a little getting to due to the slightly different interface. Performance wise, I think I'm getting just a touch more performance out of this MB compared to my Asus X870. The price was right, I think paid just $220 for it compared to Asus $280 or so. I have two SSDs installed, a 2 TB and 4TB WD SN850 and 850X. Bootup was a problem, but a newer bios fixed that. Most importantly, this MB has 4 sata slots. the Asus only had 2 which is just mind boggling. You had to pay almost $100 more to get two additional SATA slots. The wifi connects at 1.2 GBPS, not had any issues with the wifi. Also nice I don't have to take another PCI E slot for a WIFI adapter. It does have 2.5 gig LAN, but my router only has 1 GB. Well, everything works, price was right, feature heavy compared to my expensive MBs, a solid 5 out of 5.

This motherboard works great with my new Ryzen 9 cpu, pretty straightforward for setup, the pcie lanes are lower unline older boards so if you have an extra wide gpu you're good. Issue I ran across is there's 3 m.2 slots but apparently one or two share the same traffic name as the upper pcie slot. I plugged in my NIC card into the upper and it got no power or support, but as soon as I put it in the lower slot it worked fine (aside from blocking the connection for the front control panel audio jacks, but since I'm using the optical output for sound it wasn't an issue for me). Manual in the box was extremely limited, you have to download the online manual for real setup help. Either way, I'm happy.

Great motherboard, has all of the things you would need for a good experience and does not cost too much for everything you get.

If you bought this with the 9800x3d bundle then this was a great purchase, the system been working flawlessly and only seen good things about this board. Very easy to update bios.
