Pros

  • Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE ATX AM5 Motherboard
  • I'm using a Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 Ice. NVMe slot A is ALWAYS direct to the CPU.
  • This is 20% more expensive, but it's another caliber with double the CPU cores, 50% more RAM, better RAM, and a 5090 instead of 5080. The CPU cooler hides the RAM and the motherboard hides the SSD, so it's a more coherent aesthetic as we...
  • Motherboard: Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE ATX AM5 Motherboard

Cons

  • One of the most difficult parts about building a new PC is orienting myself on the motherboard because it's easy to get lost. I was wondering if people would be open to describing my motherboard model (GIGABYTE X870 AORUS Elite WIFI7 IC...
  • With X870, it sacrifices some GPU performance if you install an extra M.2 NVMe SSD. From Gigabyte's website: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/X870-AORUS-ELITE-WIFI7-rev-10-11/sp > /* The M2B_CPU and M2C_CPU connectors share bandwidth...
  • Do you need the x870 chipset? B850 usually has more than enough features for most users, so if you don't need the extra benefits of the x870, get a cheaper board.
  • I was planing on using the Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE ATX AM5 Motherboard with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D 4.7 GHz 8-Core. Will the be safe or should I reconsider a different motherboard???
  • When I shut down the PC (S5 state) and leave the PSU turned on, trying to turn it back on after a few minutes results in a failure: The Fan LEDs keep blinking on and off in a loop, but the PC won't boot.

My specs: -Gigabyte X870 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE (I'm aware of the lane bifurcation on this board. But my only SSDs are in the first and second slots, which don't affect the PCIe speed of the 16x slot.)
