Aorus X870 Elite and X870E Master.... Not the Value I expected....

Msi carbon x870e is better board with features.
Hope you review that also like this.

Canada is being ripped off too! The difference on our dollar compared to the US dollar is suppose to be about 30% yet pricing for computer hardware always has an extra 30 to 40% on top of the 30% difference ! I've been told its additional tariffs but we're right next door! ........ Seriously ripped off!

Jingyue should pay you for the B650i night devil motherboard . Or at least send you free motherboards for review .

My god, DDR5 + these chipsets seem to be making motherboard prices insane, and stay insane.

Im tired of giving my money to the underdog, getting amd gpu, or amd cpu back in the day, they will just comeback with higher prices. Why is the 7900xtx 1k euros msrp? If it was 700 they would have made way much money in quantity,nobody is buying amd gpu and thats a good thing imo,f them(rx 7600 being 270 euros msrp 😂 when the 4060 was 300 and beter,who would buy amd,dont forget the price was 300 first)Now im buying only what i want ,nvidia all the way till they get overshadow by another company(cant wait to get the rtx 5090 being 2k or 3k euro). Intel has only 2 gens cpu on the same platform ,the 2 being a refresh.Who and why would buy a 500 mo for 1 cpu upgrade. Why does the 9000 exist?they shoul have just said its a refresh cause 5% and no efficieny its a refresh nothing more. Man im having a bad day today

I own a good X670E (has been long to get a good BIOS ) but now I don't see any reason to change for a X870 for now.

Has AMD made any solid commitment as to how long they will be using this sockets layout? That would be a huge deciding factor for me if paying such a premium. Really in depth review, Thanks Bryan.

The gigabyte X670Es were the best from the 600 generation... Absolutely no issues with the aorus master and the Aorus pro x... I had issues with asrock and msi. Both of my boards I easily got them to work with 6400 MTs in 1:1 ratio at 2133... I don't know if anything is wrong with the 870 🤔

My asrock b650e riptide was the best buy I ever did 😂
All the features I want for a reasonable price..
2 years ago🤡

aussie gamers have been getting ripped off for years, your so right,

prices are out of control, this way the pc master race is over, so few people can pay those 500 and 600 cheap motherboards because a cheap 250 dollars motherboard is a expensive motherboard

we need 50 and 60 dollar motherboards again

companies are too greedy now, it is unpayable for 99% of gamers

Still veering towards asrock phantom nova or taichi lite for me personally.

The Gigabyte BIOS is such garbage lol. I see it's still filled with way too many menus that I assume still lead you to duplicate settings. "You can find this setting in this menu, this sub menu, this other menu and over here. Welcome to Gigabyte."

MSI x870/x870e boards seem like the best this time around. Asrock Nova is best value x870e. I was disappointed by Asrock low/mid offerings - Tomahawk is just that good.

I got a weird Aurus board x870E elite, I haven't seen any reviews for it. $319

I would have to say there is something wrong with the speeds on these boards for that t705 as i am getting 16009, 14900 respectively.

I got z590 aorus waterforce extreme ,is this still good ?

Good balanced review; In the UK we are hit by Rip off Britain prices as well on Electronics like Motherboards, Mobiles, cameras, etc. A Village idiot UK Q; any ideas on why these Bios / UEFI programs so laggy ? / delayable ?

Nice posters.All classics.

No 10G and no backplate on the master ruined it at that price.

what about lane sharinng? Those Gigabyte boards do share M2 with PCI-E. I've read Asrock doesn't do that and on previous Gigabyte mobos when u utilised all M2 slots there were porblems. Can u test it?

Well done on a very good truthful review. You are incredible.

Pretty expensive those latest mobo , specially those from intel ,and they don't have more vrm for that price, its just the name ELITE or AORUS 😅

I absolutely loved my Gigabyte motherboard for my Core 2 Duo. I haven’t used Gigabyte since then so I can’t say much about them. I remember that motherboard costing about 150 bucks and it was a pretty high end board at the time. It had so much copper on it you could make an entire tower cooler out of pure cooper. I guess copper prices were cheaper then.

your the value king in parts hunting 4sure

I think a more constructive & informative way to test the "value" of these boards would be to test them against X670E boards, but using current gen hardware:
9000 series CPUs
8000+ speed DDR5
Gen5 M.2 SSDs.

Then, and only then, will you be able to see the difference in performance these boards can deliver compared to the X670 generation of boards.

it's gigabyte, what do you expect, they felt it was ok selling their customers exploding power supplies. Their GPUs are ugly, their MBs still don't have working ARGB headers and yes their BIOS is crap. I would never waste my money on a gigabyte product.

Do they limit power for dual CCD chips? AsRock will only allow 180A on the TDC...

Hello! Would this board work with 32gb of 6000 at cl28?

x870e aorus elite only has 6 layer pcb and 60A power stages. really underwhelming

Was a bit curious in how motherboard pricing compared and features, will say my Z690 TG Wifi boards were much cheaper and 159 & tax, 170 when I did Alder Lake builds Wifi 6e, similar m.2 and power stages. That B650I is slapping these boards in Cyberpunk benchmark. I spend enough time setting up the BIOS to tune where a laggy BIOS would be annoying. My past Asrock, MSI, and even Asus boards weren't laggy. I feel BIOS advanced settings are getting more bloated with time. I remember my B760M Asrock Pro RS was 99 and tax (107 I think), well I am not completely sold on this new feature set Wifi7 and Gen5 basically, USB4 I'm not sure I'd use it for some time. I think with time these new X870/E will get cheaper maybe Microcenter will have a nice bundle but I'm not excited about things as is.

No DisplayPort?? Wtf..

z890 motherboard pricing is even more insane than x870/e boards

Just be wary of some boards from all vendors, they may say WiFi 7 support, but they may not support the 320 MHz band. The Aorus Master does support 320 MHz band, but not the Aorus Elite WiFi 7 it's only 160 MHz. Read the specs table guys!

You looking value and performance with flagship features get the Asrock Gaming Nova Wifi X870E just 325.00 on Neweeg USA after mail rebate but frequently out of stock ,people are buying this board like crazy .I was able to get on my Gskill DDR5 memory 16x2GB 6000mhz a stable overclock of 7400 mhz . You should review this board in your channel

The Aorus Master and MAG Tomahawk are still holding top tier line!
Bummer you didn't test DDR5 8000+.

Auros suck I buy a x670e master and is full of issues

Just bought an Aorus board and the bios is dreadful, its lagging and the mouse pointer does not keep up to speed, it jumps around as you move it. Maybe it’s me but the bios lacks detail in my opinion. There is no facility to stop power to the usb ports when the pc is off? How come Gigabyte? Plenty of overclocking options but only minimal other adjustments can be made. I have a 2014 ASUS board that beats the Gigabyte board bios hand down, with virtually everything you can think of being adjustable in bios. The ASUS board just seems better all round. I am rather disappointed in the Auros board to be honest.

Finally the freaking alc1220, FOR ONCE

The elite is now a 6 layer PCB so that's probably ruined it's memory oc capabilities.

I am reluctant to buy Aorus in the future due to many many issues that are solved by getting a much cheaper ASRock motherboard. Laggy bios, not wanting to update bios, laggy bios, memory training issues, reboots etc etc. this happened on AMD x670e and 2x z790 intel boards which have the same sort issues. Also the LAN nic was broken on 2 boards. Out of coulance I get my money back from gigabyte due to the bad experiences with them which is very nice tbh but the frustration i had with this brand is crazy.

I decided to get Gigabyte X870 Aorus Elite WIFI7 Ice at febuari with 9900x3d and ddr5-8000Mhz xepo but should I get x670E insted for better silicone ?

What’s the best budget price to performance board to get for zen 4 or 5 I’m looking to upgrade.

and its something wrong with vdd and vvdq voltage if you put 1.45v it show c5 code

My fellow Hyundai owner I completely agree with you regarding value!

I found the x870e cross hero for cheaper than the x670e version, on Amazon

Are you going to review the Asus X870E Hero?
Mostly interested about SSD temperatures.

I'll go for Asus Strix for superior audio with similar performance.

Next up will either be making the 9950x snappy machine or the Intel 285K review, whichever comes first, just depends on how much potential headaches I can sift through with the new platform before NDA lifts lol.... If you guys have any specific tests for the new i9, then let me know below.
