Nice working motherboard never had any issues with it

Best price. Amazing specs. Easy install. Highly recommend getting this for future proofing your set up without spending your kids college fund.

Great value and the bios is really easy to navigate for a fan enthusiast like myself

The Gigabyte Eagle x870 was a solid pick for me as a no frills board for AM5. This board supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series chips (as of May 9, 2025), so you’re set for current and next-gen performance. The ATX layout is standard, and the build quality feels sturdy-no flex or cheap plastics here. This is a Gigabyte board with Gigabyte quality. I trust them and have for years. One of the first things you’ll notice is the clean design. It doesn’t scream “gamer,” but it’s got a nice, professional look that fits in my builds. I like a clean NON BLING board that looks premium and doesn’t need RGB. I feel like I’m paying for the bling instead of better components or cooling. Setup is pretty straightforward, and Gigabyte’s BIOS is easy to navigate and is modern GUI. The board comes with some DIY-friendly features like the M.2 and PCIe EZ-Latch, which make installing and swapping components less of a headache however those niceties are really only used once in a while so don’t buy it just for those features. I believe that should be standard from premium brands and is not a selling point to me. Performance-wise, you get four DDR5 slots (up to 256GB, supporting high speeds if you want to push your RAM), and a 14+2+2 power phase design that’s more than enough for high-end CPUs and some overclocking. Thermal solutions are good, with VRM and a M.2 heatsink on the 5.0 slot that keep temps in check even under load. I think it’s funny that they only add a heatsink to the primary SSD, but NOT to the other two. I guess you don’t really need cooling at PCIe 5.0 speeds unless it’s the primary drive? If I were you, I’d add sinks to the other two if you have space. There are three M.2 slots (including one PCIe 5.0 for ultra-fast drives) and four SATA ports for your legacy storage. You also get dual USB4 Type-C ports on the rear I/O, which is a big plus for fast data transfer and future-proofing. This is not surprising because it’s required for the current 8xx chipsets. The board supports Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5GbE LAN, Bluetooth 5.4 is included for peripherals. I couldn’t tell if the USB4 was shared or separate bandwidth. My guess is that it’s shared at this level of value. I put an 8700G into the processor slot, which downgraded all of the PCIe to 4.0. This is not really a performance loss at that level of processor, but I did want to use it with an APU so that is a caveat with that series. You only get PCIe 5.0 speeds across the board with 7000 or 9000 series Ryzen chips. Don’t be surprised by this. In the future I’m betting the APUs will have 5.0 across because “the future!” Audio is handled by a basic Realtek ALC897 codec-not audiophile grade, but it’s fine for most users. The rear I/O is well-equipped, with plenty of USB, HDMI 2.1, and a Q-Flash Plus button for easy BIOS updates (even without a CPU installed). A couple of things that are annoying to me: two PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots share bandwidth, so if you fill both, speeds will drop to x2 with certain chips that don’t have extra PCIe lanes. Also, the Wi-Fi 7 module supports up to 160MHz channels, not the full 320MHz, and I’m sorry... that’s pretty crappy for a premium brand and a pretty big oversight. And, I have to talk about the lack of heatsinks for the other NVMe slots again; that was probably only a few cents more to add sinks, so I’m pretty disappointed in that. Overall, the X870 EAGLE WIFI7 is a great value board with high end features that only a generation ago required top-tier cost. I’m stoked to have this board and I highly RECOMMEND it as a massive upgrade from AM3/4 or even a 12/13/14 gen intel build.

Good cheap and works great, this item shipped fast.

Works with the amd ryzen 9800x3d and happy with it.

Absolutely amazing, paired it with the 9800x3d and this thing rips, overclocking is easy

Highly functional, includes lots of bells and whistles for future growth of home build. Important to have current gen slots of CPU, GPU, and SSD to fully utilize newest technology

So far so good. Delivered fast with no issues. Bought for building my own PC.

Great price and it offered all the features that I was looking for. Worked great and had no problems during setup.

Had everything i need in a motherboard. Bo complaints!

Unfortunately, I got everything installed ad went to boot it up and consistently got a dram error light. It wouldnt even boot to bios. I tried udating the bios using the flash button and a usb and I could see the lights blinking so i thought it would update and potentially fix the issue but it did not. I had to return the product. Purchased a different mobo from a different manufacturer and everything booted right up when connected. Would not recommend this product.

Disclaimer: I am not an IT specialist and am only reviewing from my personal experience. While I enjoy console gaming and reviewing monitors, I am way more of an AV guy. Cameras, microphones, audio equipment is where I'm most comfortable. With all that out of the way, after years of my friend and brother-in-law insisting that I needed a proper PC for gaming and video editing, I finally made the leap. Which led me to the Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi7 motherboard. Big shoutout to the BestBuy Tech Insider program. Getting here was not really a straight line. I first tried to take the budget approach and picked up a Lenovo tower off of Facebook Marketplace. It was alright on paper, but upon opening it, I discovered that all the components inside were proprietary and closed. I couldn't upgrade the GPU or even swap parts. After that I was able to get a used OMEN tower, which was better but still had limitations when it came to long-term versatility. That's when I decided I would do this right and build a system from scratch. The first part I had was actually this motherboard so I had to plan the entire build around it. That meant doing research, watching videos, and triple-checking each and every part to make sure everything would be compatible. What I've discovered is that a good motherboard gives you options and this one does have a lot. It supports AMD's AM5 platform, DDR5 RAM, PCIe 5.0 for the GPU and one M.2 drive, WiFi 7, USB4, and 2.5Gb Ethernet. For a motherboard under $300, that's pretty great. I paired it with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5, an RTX 4070, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. It booted first time. The BIOS is clean and simple, and I was able to update the firmware via Q-Flash Plus without even needing to install a CPU. Installation was straightforward. Gigabyte's EZ-Latch GPU and M.2 slot system is a huge assistance, especially if this is your initial build. No fiddly mounting or stripped screws. The board feels solid and well-built, and the heatsinks are stout and keep reasonable temperatures. WiFi 7 performance has been great, even on my current router. It's faster and more stable than any other configuration I've ever had. If there's one thing that I would say needs work, it's the onboard audio. The Realtek ALC897 is fine for general use, but anyone serious about sound should consider a dedicated DAC. In the end, the X870 Eagle WiFi7 has been a reliable, capable foundation. It gave me the confidence to complete my first full build, and it leaves room for future upgrades. Whether you’re new to building or just want a strong, modern platform without spending a fortune, this board is absolutely worth considering. 5/5

Summary: Really nice, fast motherboard with lots of features, I/O overkill, easy install, and bios options for overclocking. Long story short, I was upgrading the motherboard in an older Win 10 system that I use for games, video and photo processing, and development. I wanted to go AMD for this iteration and decided to go to the AM5 socket. I got a great deal on an AMD Ryzen 9 9900x. AMD has committed to the AM5 socket for the next 3 years. I was tired of Intel's new socket with each generation. I also didn't want to go with the top tier gaming motherboards, I didn't think the marginal gains in options were worth the cost of components. But that's me. The Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi7 motherboard fit my requirements - AM5 socket - Four DDR5 memory sockets, dual memory, up to 256GB - Integrated AMD Graphics - PCIe 5 support (at least one PCIe slot and one M.2 connector) - Lots of storage support (3 M.2 slots and 4 SATA ports) - USB 4 (Lots, USB-c USB 3.2, USB 2.0) - WiFi7 support Additionally, I wanted overclocking support, but didn't want to go to extremes, and I wanted an ATX form factor, I was tired of dealing with the mini and micro motherboards.. The X870 Eagle balances performance and cost (and cost of components) very well with a full ATX form factor. The I/O connectors are almost overkill, with 3 M.2 connectors, 4 SATA 6gb connectors, and way more USB connectors than I can use. Not bad, Gigabyte! Installation was pretty straightforward, with some minor hiccups. Initially, I was just replacing a motherboard/CPU combo, but ended up with a new power supply (connectors) and a new case (cpu and case cooling). But again, everything is pretty standard, the motherboard dropped in with 9 mounting screws. Connectors are well marked, except for (still) having to tidy up some wiring with zip ties, it all came together very easily. Plugged in a M.2 SSD and video card (more on this later) and was off and running. The only minor negatives are that the PCIe 5 M.2 slot is right under the video card, so a pre-installed ssd heatsink is a non-starter. Also, there is a plastic vanity cover at the back of the video slot that may interfere with longer cards. There are a zillion options in the BIOS for performance tweaks, including processor speed, core allocation, and memory speed. Going to take some time to explore them, but for now this is a blazing fast system. If you're looking for a budget friendly AM5 motherboard with modern connectivity, solid performance, and future upgradability, the Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi7 should be on your short list. Highly recommended!

I've had this for a little while and have gotten to play with it some. This is a great motherboard if you're looking to build an AMD computer. I like the look of the all blacked out board also. The board is designed well and easy to install. A few of the screws to secure to the case are hard to get in but that is pretty standard on all boards now since everything is so packed tightly together. The board is arranged in a standard layout. PCIe x16 slot has 3 NVMe spaces beside it so you have plenty of space for any size video card. If you have a very long video card, it will not cover anything on the board which is a nice design. I think you would need a 3 space card to cover a couple of the SATA connectors. There are 2 other full length PCIe x1 connectors at the bottom of the board which might be useful in the future. As it is now the board has pretty much everything built in. The Wifi antenna is connected directly to the back panel but seems to work well. I like the antenna with leads on them so you can place them in a better location if you want but in my situation this one works fine. The Bios is easy to get around and seems to be getting regular updates. Overall I like this board. It works smoothly and runs everything well. I would recommend this one if you're looking for a reasonably priced build with nice features.

It's been a while since I built a new pc. My son was wanting a new pc and chose this as an opportunity for him to learn how to build one. Gigabyte has always been my go to brand for motherboards in the past and this was no exception. It has the AMD AM5 socket, onboard wifi, USB4 ports, ethernet port, and so much more. The install was simple and straight forward with no issues. I used Corsair ram 2 x 16GB, the ram is close to the CPU socket, but all fit. We used a 9800x3d cpu with no issues. The motherboard fit the case, and the standoffs lined up with the motherboard with no issues. Once powered on, we went into bios and it is a clean, well-designed bios. We did do a bios update and it went smooth with no problems at all. The boot time into windows 11 was fast and had no issues detecting all the correct onboard devices. Be sure to update all drivers as I had to download the wifi drivers via a connected network cable to get the wifi to work properly. Overall, I was impressed with all of the features that are on this motherboard, it was a fun build with my son and he has been playing games on it nonstop since we built it. There have been no overheating issues to date. A recommended motherboard for sure.

Gigabyte has always been one of my favorite brands for mother boards. I feel they go under the radar in this computer component category. This is my second Gigabyte board, and the first one had 0 issues. So far with the X870 Eagle wifi 7, I have 0 regrets. The bios is simple and easy to navigate. The RGB works. The client software gigabyte provides could use some improvements nevertheless, it works. This time unlike my first gigabyte mother board, the software recognized my graphics card, and I was able to control it with their software and did not need to download any 3rd party apps for RGB controls. Setting up the XMP profile was simple and easy using the gigabyte bios. I got lost dialing in my over clock and spent a few hours going back and forth between overclocking the CPU(undervolt more accurate) and setting up the RAM timings. The build quality of the mother board is great. The board does not flex by itself and has some robust heat exchangers on it already to help cool off the bus communication paths between the CPU and Ram. Overall, I love this product. It does what a mother board is supposed to do. It does it well. I had no fuss setting it up.

I can say that the build quality of this board is incredible. I have built at least a rig a year for the last 20 years for myself, friends, and family. From that experience, I can say that this board is well though out, From the size of the heatsinks, toolless M.2 installation, to the retaining bracket for graphics cards, you can be sure that this board will likely last you a long time. In addition, installation was a breeze, Gigabyte software automatically prompted for a download once the os booted. The CPU socket was nicely done and allowed for quick and easy installation of a heatsink and air cooler. Diagnostic lights are obvious as to where you're going wrong. I've had it up and going for about a week now and have had no problems to document. The initial POST sequence took a little longer than I am accustomed to the first time it booted, but now boots as expected. Games run on it pretty great. I eeked out 2.3Gbps over the lan port and am satisfied with the speed. Paired with the following, -2TB NVME SSD -750 Watt Bronze -AMD Ryzen 8400F -RTX 2050 -32GB DDR5 4800MHz

Timing could not be better for me here, as I had a yet to be determined hardware failure recently on my main machine. Also, it’s nice to get back to AMD, given all they have been doing lately. I found this board very easy to build in as well as very user friendly. Everything is built well (sturdy, put together well, concern for thermals (VRM, M.2, capacitors), nicely spaced out, and designed well. Be it the M.2 toolless access, the GPU release, multiple fan headers, or other things here and there, you can tell there was some thought and consideration put into this board. Beyond that however, I really like the feature-set. The CPU flexibility (allowing for a nice variety of series choices), PCI-Express 5 (allowing for both GPU and M.2 lanes…I see you WD Black SN8100), WiFi 7, 2.5 GbE internet, and dual USB4 are all things I was looking for, and I think should generally be expected these days. Further, 4 memory slots allowing for a max of 256GB of RAM, 4 SATA (I still use one), and 4 M.2 slots is also nice to see. Lastly, I really like the port/connectivity choices. In addition to the Dual USB4 Type-C 40Gb/s ports I mentioned earlier, there is 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2, 3 USB 3.2 Gen 1, 4 USB 2.0, 1 HDMI, and front USB-C. All in all, I think they made smart choices and did very well here. Good, solid hardware. It should appeal to a wide range of users. Ultimately, I think this is a very nice board, and I like it. Easy to set up as well as build in, with solid construction, and a very strong blend of features. There is also a nice level of flexibility as well as room for future upgradeability. As someone who has built many a system over the years, I also appreciate the quality Gigabyte generally brings to the table. While I do wish they still had the blanket lifetime guaranty on all hardware, it is nice to see a solid 5 years here. In the end, I really think for all that you get, this is a great value. I can easily see this not only working for many people, but also lasting some time for me.

To be honest as I can I'm actually not a fan of Gigabyte as a product due to using a competitors product for years and I won't say the name of the competitor. But this motherboard has changed my mine about Gigabyte entirely which is something for me for being stuck on they're competitor for almost 7 years now. This motherboard is easy to install in a case and the wiring is easy also with or without an instruction manual. Once you get everything put in that your going to use and connect to the internet everything that downloads to operate the system goes faster than the other motherboards I have had (no names mention lol). As you can tell I happy with this motherboard more so than the other ones not one thing has come up as a con for me yet. The pros of this motherboard are as follows ease of putting in your case, ease of connecting the wiring system, has two areas on the board that light up for RGB lighting and the biggest pro for me is the strong for that the antenna does not have wires on it and that it plugs right into the back via a quick connect which is by far the best feature on all motherboard now weather it has wires or not just that this one connects to the motherboard without the wires is a feature all companies need to think about as most of the wired ones don't have enough length of wire to put it on a desk or move it around or for that fact a strong enough magnet to keep it in one spot. Cons there are absolutely no nada zero in my opinion lol
