Been holding off jumping on the AM5 bandwagon until seeing what white X870/X870-E boards go on sale, nice to see some of these are beginning to appear, thanks for sharing guys 👍
as someone who loves a clean white aesthetic for pc builds gogabyte is one of the only manufacturers that makes almost entirely white motherboards that dont have something that ruins the aesthetic msi asus etc all come very close but add things like greyish camo or distasteful rgb or only the vrm heatsink will be white etc. this looks like it could be my next uprgade ive been wanting to get into am5
I've had a keen eye on the 9000 series and x870/e boards. went for the black version of the Aorus x870 elite wifi 7 and couldn't be happier as the performance and quality has far exceeded my expectation's. Great video as always Nick.
dying to get my hands on the pro ice, has more lanes than this elite wifi ice using the 870e chipset. nice video preview. thank you. from what i hear the embargo lifts on sept 30, same day i'll be able to buy one. cheerio. (the all white is a slam dunk)
One of the rarest pure white. Amen!!! Although I don't trust many of Gigabyte models but this one looking very cool with good phases - niceee! I hope the debug LED panel have smooth cyan or white color! Maybe 380euro or higher the 1st price!
I've been rocking a Gigabyte Vision B550 board for a while now and have been worried that when it comes time to replace it I'm not gonna find anything as clean. Gigabyte out here delivering again, the part of me that worries about aesthetics is pleased, the part of me that worries about the cost might be less worried when this thing is on its way to obsolete.
Black CMOS battery holder likely due to them having billions in bulk... nothing a bit of Tamiya white paint (colour matched) couldn't fix if really required... but honestly - the GPU likely would cover that or board wiring. Great overview Nick, cheers mate!
Isn’t the GIGABYTE X870E AORUS PRO ICE better than the elite ? I’m going for Gygabyte over ASUS rig strix because I noticed the new one is not all white, now the best question here now is .. will this new motherboard be good for the 5090 rtx graphic card?
When the M2B_CPU or M2C_CPU connector is populated, the primary PCIEX16 slot operates at up to x8 mode. Only M2A_CPU and M2D_SB NVme slots don't compromise the primary PCIEX16 slot. This is due to AMD's 2x USB 4.0 mandate.
Sadly Gigabyte has been infected by the PCIE 5.0 Nvme obsession sharing lanes with GPU.... I wish they had stayed with just 1 PCIE 5.0 NVME and the rest PCIE 4.0 and leave the GPU lanes in peace. Kudos for adding a post code in every motherboard.
@@espi8997 this is why I was happy to get my x670 steel legend. 2 full sized pcie slots - 2nd one is at the very bottom so enough clearance away from GPU. So many Mobo manufacturers put their 2nd slot too close to the main one. And most importantly both PCIE lanes are direct to CPU on the CPU lanes. I don't care about having 100x m.2. I only need one. I want PCIE lanes direct to CPU.
Maybe a stupid question. But does this mobo support 3 screens/monitors (hdmi+dp+dp) in combination with a ryzen 9950x. Or can you connect only 2 screens at same time..
One of these or a variation will be going in my new HAVN 420 vertical mount case that I received from another platform to review. Just waiting to see what the new AMD 9800x3d can do.
@@napalmarsch To be fair, most motherboards nowaday will have an extra PCIe slot where you could put your sound card without cutting your graphics card.
When are more manufacturers releasing the Motherboards with connections on the back? I would of thought those would be releasing by now along with Cases to complement.
White set up computers are awesome except for the white pc cases which usually turn creamy yellow after a year for the plastic parts and a few years later for the metal parts. Its unfortunate about the discoloration of pc cases. Hope some pc case company reads this and starts marketing white pc cases that wont change color on the plastic or make us white cases that dont use plastic. Like more white metal and wood or something. Until then Ill be rocking new builds back in black like an AC-DC song.
Speak for yourself. I break them out onto the back panel and have 4 more usb 2.0 ports that're great for low bandwidth devices. Hopefully we get a board this gen with x16 x4 x4 support. x16 x4 x2 isn't good enough imo and I don't want x8 x8 x4, even if that's what I'm having to live with in the X670E Carbon Wifi. Nice to see an internal HDMI port for internal case displays that are starting to take off.
@@silfrido1768 a lot of lanes are used for USB 4.0 on the new boards. Do you need USB 4.0? If no, go for x670E. You won't lose any performance with older board just usb 4.0 support
The Wifi on this board doesnt work with Windows 10 and only works with Windows 11. When you contact Gigabyte they will tell you to buy a Wifi card or WiFi adapter or upgrade to Windows 11.
Just 1 single usb 3.0 front connector in a x870 is a great downgrade compared to the x670e aorus pro x... Why can't these companies NEVER get it done properly

CLEANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! Nice Overview Nick! :)
Looking forward to a follow up on performance!

Nick, you're killing me with these sudden endings. I'm sitting here waiting for "You Peek, We Seak", and then, nothing lol
I’m really enjoying the close up tour of all the motherboard features.
The white Aorus boards are gorgeous !
Thanks for the video, keep it up 😉

All I got to say is, that board is so clean with its look.
definitely picking this board up when it launches... after watching reviews of course
Yup I will wait for reviews of all of the white boards then buy the best one for me.
When does it launch?
Shared this with the Aorus FaceBook group!! Now we just need a Master version to get this treatment!!
One of the rarest pure white. Amen!!!

OH that front panel thing is like so good for such a cheap thing wish every mobo included it
One board to rule them all. Finally a proper white board. Superb.
The 9800x3d has pushed me over the line to upgrade to am5 and the X870E Aorus master!
Great video fams. Awesome looking motherboard.
Im bummed they didnt make this MATX again. Hope there are some quality matx options again this year.

thank you Gigabyte for allowing white builds to be truly white and GS for showcasing this beautiful motherboard
What a beautiful motherboard
Absolutely gorgeous
This board looks amazing love the white all around brilliant this board will be hard to get nice 😜👍🏻
this is exactly what im looking for heck yea!

It had PCIE 5 x16 on the slot, so yes it will be just fine.

I want PCIE lanes direct to CPU.
990 evo uses 2 of 4 lanes for nvme, however, i plan on triple striping the 705 2tb crucial drives (14+GB/sec) which should give me 25-30 GB/sec speed
Why would you prefer gen 4.0 chipset m.2’s over lane switched CPU direct gen 5.0? Isn’t the gen 5.0 x16 bandwidth just sitting there mostly unused?
looks sick 😬
Wake me up when the B850 Matx boards come.
When is the release date for purchase? I need one for my Lian Li all white build!
x870m gonna be worth waiting
How is it that I got it few weeks ago here in UK and you all are still waiting for the release?
So the only difference between X670E and X870E is that the standards are enforced instead of being optional?
USB 4 is mandatory and better support for faster memory.
more lanes for your devices using the 870e chipset.
and +holy huge VRM +higher price
Better VRM, WiFi 7, newer bluetooth, faster memory support, newer/better audio codec and NICs, more pcie 5.0 lanes etc.
waiting on second almordor case video
man how sweet would this thing look with all those connectors moved to the rear where they should be
Where are we with Intel CPU’s? I need to build a new system but keep hearing about major issues. Any advice ? What’s the word?
I hope they make an mATX or ITX back connector version of this, I personally don't see ever using an ATX motherboard again.
Das wäre wünschenswert ... Die Masse der User scheint allerdings noch ATX Boards zu kaufen ... ein weißes ITX Board wäre ein Traum 👍🏻
램슬롯까지 하얀색! 완벽한 하얀색 메인보드! 굿!
Maybe a stupid question. But does this mobo support 3 screens/monitors (hdmi+dp+dp) in combination with a ryzen 9950x. Or can you connect only 2 screens at same time..
It's probably good for those pc case side panels that are transparent monitors.
hopefully you get to review the Asrock models too, I'm looking to get a Taichi X870 .
Дуже гарна ❤

Is there something to benchmark on a motherboard anyways?
Price?
Who've thought that we'll live in a time where motherboards are priced like GPUs
is it possible to use a soundcard in the last pcie or will that cut something away on the board like pcie lanes for the gpu?
Yes, it is.
Here is the specifications sheet -
CPU:
1 x PCI Express x16 slot (PCIEX16)
@@dzello that sounds really good and the board looks epic *.* thanks
@@napalmarsch To be fair, most motherboards nowaday will have an extra PCIe slot where you could put your sound card without cutting your graphics card.
No HDMI for TV?
X870 ASUS ProArt motherboard? Hope to see it reviewed soon.
Does the 9000 series have the bandwidth for gen5 drives and gen5 gpu?
When are more manufacturers releasing the Motherboards with connections on the back? I would of thought those would be releasing by now along with Cases to complement.
Any BTF boards? I like the connectors in the back.
Want to see the itx board.
Would yall recommend this one or the gigabyte X670e aorus?
Hope MSI makes a ACE version for x870e. If not I'll prob get a MSI Carbon WIFI, Gigabyte Master or Extreme
Waiting for your rog x870e review....after that I will buy me 9950x yaayyyy
oooo lets change our whole MB for usb 4! ... said noone.
i just got mine, i hope it works with the new 9800 x3d
May need to update the bios for it but there's no reason it shouldn't work (also exactly what I'm going for except I went for the black board)
@@shadowcastyt I unboxed the board today, and is bended abit very annoying.
If I upgrade that's the board I'm getting, Gigabyte seem to be the only manufacturer who are providing 2 pcie multi-lane chipset slots.
imagine if they had white mosfets in the future
im not White fan but Aorus white line up are so pretty

And Bob is your uncle's brother we have a proprietary wifi antenna connector :(
Looks great! Too bad there isnt an ITX version...
If anyone was going to build a new computer from scratch and start with a fresh install of everything, then is there any reason to use SATA ??
Spotted this in Europe for 309,80 Euros
do i really need a e board? because ass lainched a itx x870 but without e and iam wondering why
Just buy x670E, it has a decent price these days. Nothing new here apart from USB 4.0

They got B650E Aorus Stealth Ice one, not sure but X670-X870 yet

It's such a shame they are offer little in the way of upgrades and in some cases reduce the functionality that was in the X670e.
what are the downgrades compared to X670e?
@@loserpro43210 Less PCIe lanes is one is one of the biggest.
I guess $800 isn’t enough to get 10G Ethernet in 2024.
I would say it's overall regression from x670E since it has less pcie lanes.
@@ksenchyfrom a performance standpoint do you want more lanes or less lanes & why ?
@@silfrido1768 a lot of lanes are used for USB 4.0 on the new boards. Do you need USB 4.0? If no, go for x670E. You won't lose any performance with older board just usb 4.0 support

I wonder if this chipset affects the performance of 9000 series CPUs
It doesn't. New chipsets are about features not performance
So they decide to give us post-codes back in "mid-tier" motherboards, but lower the layer count of everryyy board except the Master. lol
Mi sueño húmedo tener un buena placa madre y armar una PC de Dios
I once again felt like a poor man 😂
Its under embargo but available for sale :P
No temp sensor in 2k24 😅

Gotta use gloves when handling it.
