AORUS is the GIGABYTE brand line in the name.","model_numbers":"Cover and regulatory page: X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE (X870E A MASTER X ICE). The regulatory page names one model number for both colours, X870E A MASTER X ICE/X870E A MASTER X. The white ICE edition has its own name, so it is one product.","supported_cpu_series":"Section 2-2, CPU row: AMD Socket AM5, Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series. The manual refers to the maker's website for the CPU support list. Read on 2026-10-14.","motherboard_form_factor":"Section 2-2: ATX Form Factor, 30.5cm x 24.4cm.","dimensions_mm":"Section 2-2: 30.5cm x 24.4cm. Wccftech lists 244 x 305 mm and Computerorbit 305 mm wide and 244 mm deep. The 305 mm side runs along the rear I/O edge.","back_connect_design":"The layout in section 1-1 and the connector pages in section 2-7 show the usual front-side connectors. The board is not a back-connect design.","cpu_power_connectors":"Section 2-2: 1 x 24-pin ATX main power and 2 x 8-pin ATX 12V power connectors.","supplemental_pcie_power":"Section 2-2 lists 1 x PCIe power connector (F20G_12V). Section 2-7 says it only gives additional power to the front panel USB Type-C header (FU3C_20G) for 65W fast charging. It does not feed the expansion slots, so it is not counted.","ram_type":"Section 2-2: 4 x DDR5 DIMM sockets, up to 256 GB (64 GB single DIMM), dual channel. The manual lists only 5200/4800 MT/s memory. The maker's overclocked figure is in the press release and the retailer spec tabs.","ram_ecc":"Section 2-2: Support for non-ECC Un-buffered DIMM memory modules.","expansion_slots":"Section 2-2: PCIEX16 is from the CPU, PCIe 5.0 x16 with Ryzen 9000 and 7000. It runs PCIe 4.0 x8 with Ryzen 8000 Phoenix 1 and PCIe 4.0 x4 with Phoenix 2, and drops to x8 when PCIEX8 is used. PCIEX8 is a x16-length slot from the CPU at PCIe 5.0 x8 with Ryzen 9000 and 7000, and is unavailable with Ryzen 8000. PCIEX4 is a x16-length slot from the chipset, PCIe 4.0 at x4, and becomes unavailable when M2D_SB is used.","m2_slots":"Section 2-2 and 2-7, Ryzen 9000 values. M2A_CPU takes 2580/2280, PCIe 5.0 x4/x2. M2B_CPU takes 2280, PCIe 5.0 x4/x2, and shares bandwidth with the ASMedia USB4 controller, so both run at up to x2 when the slot is used. M2C_SB and M2D_SB take 2280 at PCIe 4.0 x4/x2 from the chipset. M2E_SB takes 2280 at PCIe 4.0 x2. Section 2-7 says the board supports only M.2 PCIe SSDs, so no slot takes SATA. The install steps show a removable motherboard heatsink on every slot. 2580 is stored as 2280, which is the 80 mm length.","sata_port_count":"Section 2-2: 2 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors from the chipset.","rear_ports":"Section 2-2 and 2-6: 2 x USB4 Type-C (DisplayPort 1.4, up to 3840x2160 at 240 Hz), 1 x USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2, 1 x USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2, 7 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A (red), 1 x HDMI, 2 x RJ-45 (10 Gbps and 5 Gbps), 2 audio jacks and 1 optical S/PDIF out. The Gen 2 Type-C port text on page 19 says USB 3.2 Gen 1, which the spec list and block diagram contradict, so Gen 2 is stored. The USB4 ports come from an ASMedia controller and are not Thunderbolt. HDMI needs a CPU with integrated graphics. The Q-Flash Plus, Clear CMOS, reset and power buttons and the antenna connectors are not ports. The manual gives no USB power output for the rear ports.","usb_headers":"Section 2-2 and 2-7: 1 x USB Type-C header with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20 Gbps, up to 65W PD 3.0/QC 4+ with the F20G_12V power connector), 2 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 headers (4 ports) and 2 x USB 2.0/1.1 headers (4 ports).","fan_header_count":"Section 2-2 and 2-7: CPU_FAN, CPU_OPT, SYS_FAN1 to SYS_FAN4 and FAN8_PUMP are 7 four-pin headers on the board. The 3_FANS_1 header takes the included extension cable for three more fans (FAN5 to FAN7), each rated 2A and 24W. A header that drives several fans counts once, so the total is 8. Geizhals and Computerorbit count 10 in total, which counts the three fans on that header one by one.","argb_header_count":"Section 2-2: 4 x addressable RGB Gen2 LED strip headers.","rgb_header_count":"Section 2-2: 1 x RGB LED strip header.","ethernet_controllers":"Section 2-2: Realtek 5GbE LAN chip (LAN1) and Realtek 10GbE LAN chip (LAN2). The manual names no chip model. The models come from Computerorbit and 24wireless.","wifi":"Section 2-2: M2_WIFI socket carries the wireless module, and the rear panel has 2 antenna connectors (2T2R).","wifi_standard":"Section 2-2: 802.11a, b, g, n, ac, ax, be.","wifi_bands":"Section 2-2: 2.4/5/6 GHz carrier frequency bands. The 6 GHz channels depend on each country's regulations.","wifi_max_channel_width_mhz":"Section 2-2: Support for 11be 320MHz wireless standard.","wifi_module":"Section 2-2: MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7927, RZ738. RZ738 is the AMD-branded module name for the same MediaTek chip.","bluetooth_version":"Section 2-2: BLUETOOTH 5.4. The version may change with updates. Geizhals says 5.3, and the maker's manual wins.","audio_codec":"Section 2-2: Realtek ALC1220 CODEC.","dac_chip":"Section 2-2: ESS ES9118 DAC chip.","bios_flashback":"Section 2-6: Q-Flash Plus button and a Q-Flash Plus USB port on the back panel. It updates the BIOS with the system off.","clear_cmos_button":"Section 2-6: Clear CMOS button on the back panel. A Clear CMOS jumper also exists.","post_code_display":"Layout page 4 shows DB_PORT, with the note that debug code information is in the Debug LED Codes pages (section 5-2), which list two-character codes. The board also has four status LEDs (CPU, DRAM, VGA, BOOT). The retailer photo shows the two-digit display near the top right corner.","onboard_power_button":"Section 2-2 and 2-6: power button and reset button on the back panel of the board, for use in an open case.","dual_bios":"Section 2-2: BIOS is 1 x 512 Mbit flash. Dual BIOS is not stated.","preinstalled_io_shield":"The box contents in section 1-3 list no loose I/O shield. Wccftech describes a lit Lightning I/O panel and the retailer photo shows the plate on the board.","tool_free_features":"Section 2-5 and 2-7: PCIe EZ-Latch Plus button on the graphics card slot, M.2 EZ-Latch Plus (screwless M.2 SSD clip) and M.2 EZ-Latch Click (screwless heatsink). The manual lists one antenna and does not say whether its connector is push-on, so antenna_connector is not stored.","in_the_box":"Section 1-3.
