THE Motherboard for Next Gen White AM5 PC Builds - Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO ICE Unboxing & Overview

AMD’s “Zen 5“ Ryzen 9000 series of processors have been on the market for some weeks now since they were launched in August 2024 - one thing that has been noticeably absent is the brand’s latest 800-series chipsets. For some reason, AMD’s chosen to launch these chipsets and their accompanying motherboards only after its Ryzen 9000 products have arrived on the shelves of retailers. As it stands, motherboards with the high-end X870E and X870 chipsets are planned for launch on 30 September 2024, while budget-friendlier motherboards sporting the more affordable B850 and B840 chipsets are rumoured to arrive in the first quarter of 2025. In the lead-up to 30 September 2024, ALKtech takes a look at a X870E motherboard that is targeted at consumers looking to build a high-end white-themed AMD Ryzen 9000 or Ryzen 7000 PC - the Gigabyte X870E AORUS PRO ICE.
