Successful POST on first attempt!! This was with F2 BIOS, 9900x, and RAM (Corsair) from approved/compatibility list. Given the newness had some concerns reading other reviews with posting, but was VERY fortunate. 2nd AORUS MB and this one lived up to the expectation. No issues a month in. VERY PLEASED. Boot speed is a little slower than another setup with a AUROS B650 board, but by no means an issue. M2 SSD installation is FANTASTIC. Such an ease with their quick connectors. The new connector style for the WIFI antenna is a plus. Prefer it over the knurled threaded collars. Also the adapter plug for the front panel wires make it a breeze to handle the smaller connectors. BIOS accepted XMP profile of the RAM and accepted it without issue. Aesthetically it is gorgeous. Actually white with only some silver on the graphics. Went in wanting and all white build and it didn't disappoint. Only complaint on the build is case related. Front panel wires of a white case are black. Vendor does sell "extensions" in white. Performance wise no issues.

I bought Gigabyte AORUS X870E Pro ICE motherboard during Thanksgiving holiday to build my first AMD PC. I was excited to build an AMD PC, having only built PCs based on Intel CPU in the past. My first impression of the Pro ICE motherboard was its appearance. It is one of the most beautiful white motherboard on the market and its parts quality is high with almost all the functions I need.Installation of AORUS Pro ICE was quite easy, especially for SSD. No tool was needed to open heatsink cover to access the SSD locations, and the SSD was easy to plug in and lock. Since my SSD is CRUCIAL T700, I also installed THERMALRIGHT HR-10 2280 PRO Heatsink with fan. The installation was fast thanks to the motherboard having enough space for the fan heatsink, but I had to remove the thermal pad from the motherboard's SSD location to allow the SSD lock to reach T700. My G.SKILL Trident Z5 Royal (in gold color) is a perfect match to this pure white board and HYTE Y70 infinite case,which makes my PC look gorgeous.AORUS Pro ICE performance is also good. AMD 9950x can be overclocked to 5.5 GHz on my system with LIAN LI HydroShift cooler and memory Trident Z5 can reach to 6400 MT/s.There are three things that this motherboard needs to be improved. First one is about PCIe5 x16 lanes plug. After plus a GPU into PCIe5 lane, it is very difficult to release the GPU card due to that the unlock button is hiding behind the GPU card and very uneasy to reach it. The second one is that SSD lock is not flexible for separate thermal heatsink installation. The original thermal pad has to be removed to fit my HR-10 2280 PRO heatsink. The third is that the installation documentation has not been updated to the current motherboard and without a motherboard laid out for each parts and connectors.I recommend Gigabyte AORUS X870E Pro ICE to anyone who wants to build a PC in white color with a moderate cost.

Don’t be fooled by the clean aesthetics. The reality is, this motherboard should have never made it to retail with its current design. God forbid you have to reset the cmos due to bios and boot issues, you will have to completely disassemble your rig to access the cmos battery that is not so conveniently placed UNDER A PLATE THAT CAN ONLY BE REMOVED FROM THE BACK OF THE MOTHERBOARD. Who then hell designed this!? The bios leaves much to be desired, completely unable to install Windows without having to do a flash update to the bios? Pathetic. If I hadn’t invested so much time and energy into this thing, I’d return it purely out of spite.

Looks amazing, one of the nicest looking white X870E boards out there. Paired with a 9800X3D and had no issues whatsoever. Memory training was quick and it posts faster than some of the asus boards I’ve tried. Had zero issues getting expo to run out of the box at 6000MT/s. Have not yet tried any faster kits. On board WiFi is also fast. No problems maxing out my gigabit connection. Please do be aware that this and many other gigabyte boards will cut your GPUs PCIE slot from 16X to 8X if you use more than 1 high speed NVME SSD. More info on that is available on gigabytes website in the downloadable manual. Another AM5 general PSA is buy DDR5 kits at the capacity you need. Do not mix and match kits. If you try to run 4X DDR5 modules you are very unlikely to get anything higher than 3600MT/s to post. Happy building!
