GIGABYTEX870 Gaming X WIFI7 AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 3X M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, WIFI7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty

so far so good, haven't had any issues that i could attribute to the board itself. One thing i will note that isnt apparent when you buy this motherboard is that if you use all 3 ssd slots the speed of the bottom 2 will be cut in half due to the way the lanes are setup, that being said you are unlikely to notice this, I only noticed it because I reading the manual while traveling. But yeah, great board quality, it has a clean look, the performance is there and I really love the Bios design.

Great MOBO. I have never had an issue with Gigabyte's Motherboards in the past and this one has been just as good as the others. Love having 3 M.2 slots and plenty of I/O for my flight sim.

I watched a utube review which compared boot times from cold into Windows and for AM5, Gigabyte had the fastest boot times --- 25 seconds or so, versus up to a minute or more by competitors.Gigabyte also tunes your memory EXPO settings more aggressively than other companies resulting in higher performance in most benchmarks and games. It's not even 5%, but it's free.Temperatures for Gigabyte motherboards also tends to be lower than most other companies.Gigabyte was the first company to add extra copper between mb layers and the others now do it too.Cooling for NVME drives is aided by a huge 3"x 4" heatsink (or 2x3, I'm high) with room for 3 sticks. Thermal pads are stuck on already for you.It is a nice looking board that comes in ICE (white) if you want that style build, they do look great but are work to maintain dirt free!Does not include stand offs (should come with your case), or even screws (ditto) just a couple cables for SATA drives, WIFI 7 antenna, and some other stuff I forget.If you buy a case that still separates the leads for front panel power. led, hdd led, and reset into tiny little itsy bitsy little hard to handle little pieces of plastic instead of one 5x2 rectangle (as all mb's use the same configuration by now), you will be happy to know that this Gaming X includes a plastic socket that you can plug in the leads FIRST and then just plug that to the left side of the front panel socket.That piece of plastic alone should be enough to distinguish this mb from the competition as really, they are pretty much all the same in terms of actual performance that price should be a driving force in your decision. You can save maybe $40-50 getting a cheaper model without losing any performance such as you'd notice, except some features like USB 4 and and wifi 7, but you can spend hundreds more and see even less improvement.

Performs well with my 9800x3d. On board argb lighting has a yellowish tint that mismatched it with all the case lights I have so had to turn it off. Be aware that if you use more than 2 NVME drives it will slow down the secondary drives. Not a fan of the blue painted cases details. PCH temperature seem to run a bit high, hotter than my CPU on an AIO cooler, but this is my first AMD build so I don't know if that's normal.

I’m giving this board one Star, I did not have good luck with it. The DRAM and CPU light stayed on the second I put it together and when I reached out to gigabyte they said if it posts it working correctly. Later on I started having blue screens of death and my rgb fans stopped working. When I switched to an asus motherboard I had no red lights and no crashes and I added everything else I had on my gigabyte to it. Maybe it works for others but I had a bad one.

Documentation was non-existent in packaging and scanning the QR-code that was supposed to take you to online manual did not go to the correct product. Wifi did not work at first and took some time to configure and have still not been able to get bluetooth working at all. I have seen many other instances of people complaining about the similar issues. Product support website is also very unhelpful.

This thing smokes and here is ram that works with it: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0C79RMMCL?ie=UTF8&th=1 that is 96gb, what I wanted to run but it was not on the Gigabyte list I just gambled since gigabyte does not show a 96GB pair for this board. BTW some 9750x CPU's have bad graphics, if the graphics driver fails to install or keeps going to its safe mode first blame the CPU, not your MB or RAM. That's the only way to tell if they are bad, and if you disable the AMD graphics and install a graphics card, you may not notice, but you will be running a half broken CPU.

It works and works great. no issues so far. It has all what i ever will needed and even more.
