That's more what I would say about the MSI 870 godlike tbh. At least here this boards's price comes with all the right and perfect functionality to justify it.
No excuses for not having 10gbe anymore. Very impressive. If I hadnt already bought a Proart X870E Creator Wifi with 2*KSM56E46BD8Km-48HM, I'd probably buy this in a heartbeat. Thats actually excellent that it hits 5600 with ECC where my Proart cant hit that speed and I have to run it at 5400. Actually kinda sad this wasnt out when I built my 9950X system.
What a technical marvel of a motherboard. Expensive ? Sure but at least they got all the functionality done right here at at price that is still justifyable. Well done Gigabyte !
@@mthomas6 I just got that board. It's one of if not the best x870e boards and none of the reviewers talk about it. Not to mention it's sold out as soon as it gets back in stock.
@@sonofgodraj Shhhhhhh keep it a secret so more people can have a chance to buy it. But seriously what a steal if you can get it at MSRP and it doesn’t have all the lane-splitting BS for the GPU.
I wish motherboard makers would make more workstation boards without all the bling. No nonsense black board with a simple design and remote management type capability and focus on stability. Asus did a x570 workstation board that was awesome, too many gamer boards out there.
The name had me a good laugh IDK about the 24-pin not being right angle (as well as the other connectors on that side like the prev aorus extreme boards) tho...least they could do
'Who really needs dual 10G Ethernet?' Look, if you're going for a creator/workstation/LLM/gamer setup, you absolutely do. I’ve been down this road trying to get high-speed network access, tons of local storage, and still have room for GPUs, AV cards, capture devices-you name it. And let me tell you, having 10G built in solves so many headaches. I’ve tried the whole route of slapping in X540 or CX3 cards, and cooling those things? You can choose between living next to a jet turbine, or a storage/network controller shutting down because it's literally about to melt. I ended up hacked up an extra GPU cooler just to deal with all that 😂 So having some of this integrated into the thermal armor makes things a whole lot easier.
They kind of hid it for reasons I cant understand because it will just piss off the people that figured the Master was the top tier board this series! If you did dig around a bit though there were hints about it but until they confirmed it I wasnt sure. I even sent Gigabyte emails asking about it and they played stupid saying unless you see it on their website it is just a rumor. Then a month later it appears. I have bought their top tier motherboards almost every generation and same with their GPUs but lately they are doing things to make me think of leaving the brand behind. I did actually say screw it and went back to intel. I ordered the new Z890 Asus Extreme board and it came a day later. Then I figured I would look into the CPU before opening the box. Turns out its a one generation only socket and even worse they CPU is nothing great at all. So back it went. Im not spending over 1500 CDN dollars for a 1 generation motherboard. So back to AMD and I am deciding now between the MSI Godlike and this board.
@jasonb9629 i just bouth the X870e Master thinking the same thing. Super disappointed after seeing this. I'm big on brand loyalty, but at this point I'm considering returning this x870e master and getting the msi carbon instead. It's already bad enough paying $500 for a board and not having the tip tier.
I enjoyed your quality video I'm leaving a comment because I'm curious about one thing. If you look at the video, RGB LED comes out, but you can't see a separate external power cable. In the video, only white cables seem to provide power Is it possible to share a way to make this possible?
Will it be Nice,informative and break the Silence of when this board will be released ? It's as if they are only producing 12 copies under oath of secrecy.
@Gearseekers....I've read all the replies you have answered to the questions inquiring about the release date or the where abouts of this board and you've answered 'THIS BOARD DOESN'T EXIST'. If this was the case,why will they send you a board to preview knowing it won't go into production....? And you should have a better reply than what you are 'spewing' at as. Aren't you or don't you have a contact to the manufacturer or whoever sent you the board to ask when it will be released ? Or atleast an update ?!
@@GearSeekers..... So if I understand correctly,this motherboard is not or will not be sold to regular consumers/content creators ? Because I'm very confused.Who is this motherboard for and why does it exist with all this 'Ai Top' gigabyte is pushing.
I'm just not excited about AM5 platform as a whole. I'm on AM4 and from a builders perspective there is nothing there that makes me want to upgrade to AM5. I'm actually more interested in Intel Core Ultra - despite the performance issues. at least it has more features to offer.
Gigabyte was always my first chose and the Extreme is real nice but they dropped the ball on all the others below the master with 6-Layer PCB and Lower Amp power stages. Even the master is over priced as with almost all their boards only 2 m.2's don't share bandwidth with the PCIe 16 slot. It is sad that you can buy a Elite AX for under $200 and get a better VRM and PCB is 8-layers.
It's pretty sad that the best looking boards are locked behind astronomical pricetag and came bundled with unnecessary features that most people doesn't even need (which contributes to the price) I love the aesthetics, but I don't need most of the features here. I Wish there's going to be "style" focused boards in the future.
Pretty sure it's only 3 NVME lanes that are ×4, as the last one is ×2 and shares bandwidth with the last PCIe slot.. So essentially only one PCIe 5.0 NVMe and two 4.0 NVMe with full ×4 support.. I'd ignore the last slot/NVMe completely in my equation..
Why does aorus keep giving the AMD version the cheaper look. Just make it look closer to what the intel version is. They have been going backward since x570 xtreme. Also, the price seems its going to be $800 usd.
Amd has the best cpu but they never get the highest end mobo models, thats only reserved for Intel despite Intel having inferior cpu's. When is that contract gonna end with intel ?
Why $500 is sad? i understand cheaper the better, but GPUs are already twice the price of what they were 10 years ago, CPUs.... we usted to drop $340 for the top quad core from intel for more than a decade, now we are about to pay $480 for a 9800X3D. Why motherboards should remain cheap? You can get a B650 for less than 1/4 of the price of this motherboard, but once again this is not for everybody, dual 10GBE nics is really its biggest feature (imo), and a dual 10GBE nic easily will increase $100 at least, but in this case you still keeping the last PCIe slot available for use for another thing (capture cards, usb cards, etc), instead of 10gb lan card, so again this motherboard imo is not for everybody, hell its a very niche motherboard for a very small market, personally im grateful it exists, and even though $800 is a lot of money, its not as expensive as the MSI Godlike will retail close to $1k.
Nice to see native 10gbe finally!
The X870E Xtremely Xpensive Artificially Inflated Top Price
That's more what I would say about the MSI 870 godlike tbh. At least here this boards's price comes with all the right and perfect functionality to justify it.
One of my builds has an older Master that Gigabyte sent me. The Aorus Turkey logo just keeps getting larger every year.

I want a board with 10GbE standard but 2 ports is completely overkill, but if you get 2 ports... then make them 10Gb
Overkill? Come on. You just need a NAS with link aggregation. Overkill my a$$

Bring 10GbE down to lower-end mobos!
Hope MSI X870E ACE comes out with 10GbE soon ..... 🙏🙏

Is this board releasing?
Loving the content!
Hey @gearseekers, any chance you can ask Gigabyte when will it hit the retail market?
Why would someone need dual Lan ports? I am seriously curious, is there a purpose?
Still prefer x570 and z590 xtreme design…
Totally! Still the best looking mobo design I have ever seen.

Great for creatives with central creation NAS or homelab folks.

no where to be seeing or buy in US, any links to it????

Newegg sold me one recently. This board is out of stock at Newegg, but Newegg has the option for auto-notify for this board.
i got Z490 Xtreme and i can write, Xtremes Aorus motherboards are pure PREMIUM. Sad but true, i dont have cash for new Xtreme mb.
What do you mean by spinning rice drives?
Spinning rust. Think about the sound of a HDD when it's powered on and you're accessing it

1200 bucks? the next step down is $480 Master LOL that price increase is insane
Why did they make the intel version look SO good and the AMD one so ugly?
AI marketing is ridiculous
AMD is really scummy with this chipset launch 😂 The non e X870 is really a b850
I’m looking forward to your overview of the Z890 AI Top
I wouldnt buy this, I have the x570 version that i dont use anymore. It was a beast & was a right angle board. This board isnt worrh the price tag

I shall swap you 1 wristy and wisper compliments in your ear for a week for this mobo? ha ha wonder when more back connect motherboards are coming?
If I see something labelled AI my gut feeling is to ignore it.
Not the Tops getting into AI - if they weren't already insufferable as it was.
