GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO AMD AM5 LGA 1718 Motherboard, ATX, DDR5, 4X M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB4, WIFI7, 2.5GbE LAN, EZ-Latch, 5-Year Warranty

This motherboard is a beast! Very sturdy and built extremely well! After installing the cpu I did a cmos reset and it booted right up with no need to do a bios update on my 9900x. Board has tons of usb and nvme space and the wifi works flawlessly. This board also has decent rgb but I can't get a deep enough purple for my liking so red it is!

This motherboard has worked well for me so far. It's a solid board that overclocks well and has been a great match for my 9800X3D. The only feature I wish it had, that it doesn't have, is a separate clock generator for BCLK overclocking. Without that you're not going to be able to push farther than 102-103 BCLK with most systems.It's also a bit limiting to only have one PCIe Gen5 M.2 slot that doesn't share lanes with the GPU slot. The 2nd and 3rd M.2 slots support PCIe Gen5, but will drop the GPU slot down to 8x if you use either or both of them. There is a 4th M.2 slot that doesn't affect the GPU, but it uses lanes from the chipset and is limited to PCIe Gen4.I also kind of wish that the board had a full-sized Displayport output, and didn't rely on sharing the USB4 ports as Displayport outputs (I use the iGPU for secondary monitors). I do like the USB4 / Thunderbolt4 ports, as it allowed me to hook up a cheap Dell Thunderbolt docking station and add a ton of extra ports without any compromise.So overall I'm happy with it, but slightly disappointed that it's possible to spend so much on a motherboard these days, that utilizes the best chipset, and still end up with compromises that you would expect to find on a midrange board.

Works great for my 9800x3d and has ample connectivity for drives and ssds. Very nice motherboard.

Do not buy this Mobo is bad, it only lasted a week. The mobo is almost 400 dollars and it's not reliable. I have seen a few people with the same issue. Mine started showing a bunch of codes and all of a sudden it turned my pc off. I try reseting the board and many many things. At the end the board was dead. I don't know if gigabyte has a good customer support to deal whit this kind of problems. I had to switch this mobo to another one. Is frustrating to buy something that doesn't last. I was expecting a high quality board and this wasn't the case. If you're planing to buy this specific mobo read this first. It looks great but it doesn't work.

I know, I know—reading this review, you might think Gigabyte slipped me a fat check to hype up the X870E AORUS PRO… but nope! This is just what happens when you spend way too many hours researching motherboards and actually find one that lives up to the hype.Performance & Compatibility:AM5 & DDR5 Support – This board takes full advantage of AMD's latest AM5 socket and DDR5 RAM, providing blazing-fast speeds and improved efficiency. I paired it with a Ryzen 9 7950X and everything runs flawlessly.PCIe 5.0 – Both the GPU and M.2 slots support PCIe 5.0, ensuring lightning-fast data transfer speeds and future GPU compatibility. My Gen 5 NVMe SSD loads faster than my brain in the morning!4x M.2 Slots – Plenty of storage expansion options, and each slot has a heatsink to keep temps low.Connectivity & Features:USB4 & WiFi 7 – Cutting-edge connectivity! USB4 is fantastic for ultra-fast peripherals, and WiFi 7 delivers crazy fast and stable wireless speeds.2.5GbE LAN – Wired networking is fast and reliable, perfect for gaming and streaming.EZ-Latch for GPUs & SSDs – Makes installing and upgrading hardware much easier—feels like cheating!Build Quality & Warranty:Solid Construction – Premium materials, well-reinforced PCIe slots, and excellent cooling solutions.5-Year Warranty – One of the best in the industry! Gigabyte backs up their quality, which gives me peace of mind.Final Thoughts:Honestly, if Gigabyte wants to pay me at this point, I wouldn’t complain—but until then, this glowing review is just the result of a borderline obsessive amount of research and a fantastic motherboard.Whether you're gaming, streaming, or doing high-performance computing, the X870E AORUS PRO is a top-tier choice. 10/10 would buy again (if I ever needed another one, with a 5 year warranty I shouldn't!).

This is a pretty good motherboard BUT I've come to find out it has a very annoying bug if you run any kind of temperature sensing app (HWMonitor etc) when you restart you get a code 0d and it just stays in that code loop until you physically turn it off and on again. Not very good and definitely not cool especially running a 9800X3D which if you didnt know, isnt the cheapest thing out there. GIGABYTE, you really need to fix this ASAP. Otherwise, it's solid. Runs 8000MTs RAM without a hitch and besides that bug, it is a very stable board.

Absolutely splended. It was a incredible board to build in. Any reviews you read about boot issues, I'd say they are safe to ignore. Code 15 on the mobo is memory training and totally normal for a new build. I build with a 9800x3d and a 5090 with 64gb of DDR5 OC'd. I feel like I'm ready to take over the world!!

Good board, a bit expensive. For the price, I wish it came with a manual.
