If you want to build a clean white PC then you’ll need a motherboard that fits your color scheme too, and the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X870 WiFi7 Ice is one of several boards based on the X870 chipset to do so. It looks fantastic, but as it uses the X870 chipset as opposed to the more expensive X870E chipset, you still get premium features such as USB 4, Wi-Fi 7 and PCIe 5.0 M.2 and PCIe slots, but without the $500 price tag. Of course, if you’re just looking for the best gaming motherboard and want to pair it with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, there are plenty of other options, with those that use the older B650 chipset saving you even more money. However, Gigabyte is aiming this board at those who want cutting-edge features that will stand the test of time, such as Wi-Fi 7 and USB 4, in addition to its snazzy design. What’s more, this motherboard has larger heatsinks than many B650 and X670 boards, meaning you can add a PCIe 5.0 SSD without it getting too toasty. Retailing for $290, the Gigabyte Aorus Elite X870 WiFi7 Ice is one of the more affordable motherboards to have been released since AMD’s Zen 5 Ryzen 9000 CPUs hit the shelves a few months ago. While all Socket AM5 motherboards support Ryzen 7000 and 9000 CPUs, the new 800-series motherboards are designed with PCIe 5.0 SSDs and graphics cards in mind and include a range of improved tool-free features too. Gigabyte has also updated its EFI and software to make them more user-friendly, so we expect the Aorus Elite X870 WiFi7 Ice to be easy to install and set up, and not just a pretty face.
