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. Sporting features such as a beefy VRM setup, PCIe Gen 5 support for a graphics card and M.2 drives, WIFI 7 support and so on, watch on to learn more about this motherboard! 0:00 Introduction 0:30 Recap on Zen 5/Ryzen 9000 Launch & Future AM5 Chipsets 1:30 Packaging & Unboxing 3:30 Motherboard Aesthetics, Physical Features & VRM 5:07 Memory Support 5:40 Front Panel USB Connectivity 6:18 Special Features 7:54 Expansion Slots & Storage 10:30 IMPORTANT PCIe Bandwidth Sharing Info! 11:47 Audio & Internet Connectivity 12:19 Fan & RGB Headers 12:38 Rear I/O 13:42 Conclusion Affiliate Links: ► Get this motherboard from Amazon: Official Gigabyte product page: Enjoy the content that this channel produces?
