The Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi Ice offers a compelling combination of features and value for AM5 builds. This review explores its performance, highlighting its strong cooling, abundance of ports, and support for the latest technologies like USB4, Wi-Fi 7, and PCIe 5.0.
The Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite Wi-Fi Ice looks great, offers a fine selection of ports, and will be happy company for any AM5 chip for years to come.Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to really get to the heart of what matters most to you.As I wrote this, AMD and its motherboard partners had just launched cheaper chipsets options for its Socket AM5 platform, with high expectations for the new B850 chipset in particular given how popular previous B-series options were.
At nearly $300, it’s still a lot for a motherboard, but the Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WiFi7 Ice would certainly be capable of running a high-end water-cooled PC if you wanted to and not feel dated even through 2027 when AMD has stated Socket AM5 could start to wind down.: 2x USB 4 Type-C 40 Gbps, 2x USB 3.1 Type-A 10 Gbps, 4x USB 3.0 Type-A 5 Gbps, 4 x USB 2.
All of Gigabyte’s tool-free features are here with a push-button graphics card release and latch securing the M.2 heatsinks coming under the EZ-Latch Plus banner, EZ-Latch Click offering a screwdriver-less way of installing SSDs and single-piece Wi-Fi connector too. The upper M.2 heatsink is suitably chunky and cools both sides of your SSD with thermal pads, while just the top is cooled on the larger lower heatsink.
You might have to make good use of long fan cables or extensions if you plan on using lots of fans at the top of the case and connecting those to the motherboard and beware of its lane-stealing M.2 ports and stick to the top slot.
