   Motherboard de calidad y muy hermosa
   Muy buen producto, sin embargo recomiendo altamente verificar bien cuáles son las memorias RAM testeadas en esta placa base, sugiero que antes de hacer overclock o lo que sea que vayan a modificar primero deben obligatoriamente actualizar la BIOS, como siempre se ha hecho solo que ahora es más importante hacerlo.
   El producto me funciona, eso sí, no encontrarán muchas reviews en internet o youtube acerca de este modelo ya que su BIOS es distinta al resto y en algunos aspectos la estoy aprendiendo a usar aún.
   Buen producto.
   EDIT:
   Be very careful buying motherboards when talking about the Rams they can work with.
   So many people have problems with the configuration if is XMP or EXPO so this thing is important.
   Even when memories recomended by the MB developer there can be problems.
   If your are seeing this comment i’ll tell you to buy some another brand. MSI or Asus because there are on internet and youtube alot of reviews or guides from thoose brands to configure your Bios, but with Aorus is different.

   Looks great but…
   Great value for money and looks fantastic. However, the big brother – x670e – version of this board is often on sale for only around $20 more.
   If the x670e is not in stock than this is a great option with only a few minor changes:
   Less usb ports on io
   8+4 pin cpu connector vs 8+8. If you’re a heavy overclocker beware
   Wifi 6e vs wifi 7
   One less nvme ssd slot (3 vs 4)
   If you’re on windows 10, GET THIS OVER THE 670E variant. The wifi drivers for that board will NOT work on windows 10!
   One minor issue was the bios update but after I got that squared away it was good to go.
   Overall cautious but satisfied. Will update if anything changes

   Works great with Ryzen 7 9700X
   Motherboard works great with the newer Ryzen 7 9700X processor, but a BIOS upgrade might be necessary if the one installed is old. It is possible to update the BIOS of the motherboard without a working processor by using the “Q-Flash Plus” feature and installing a BIOS newer than the F30 version (latest one at the time of writing this is F34g)
   One other “gotcha” thing to keep in mind is that this MB has 3 NVME slots, and which one to use might not be clear. If you look into the MB manual (session 1-2 “Motherboard Block Diagram”), one should avoid using the M2A_CPU slot if you intend to use an external video card, as that slot shares the PCIe bus with the main PCIe slot. With that the video card would only work with x8 PCIe lanes instead of the x16 that you probably want; so read the external GPU specs to figure out how many lanes it requires (most good ones will require the x16). With Ryzen 7 9700X using the M2B_CPU slot is the better option as that CPU has those PCIe lanes available and these are not shared between the GPU and the NVME SSD. The third slot, M2C_SB, should “just work” with all processors and video card combinations, but it will go through the MB chipset instead of directly connecting to the CPU so performance might not be the best
   Hope these points could help some people out there that are building a PC with this MB!

   Beautifully amazing
   So far no complaints, has been a really easy going motherboard with no faults and very easy to configure. As a first time builder it was very easy seeing where each plug went as everything is labeled.

   Poor quality assurance from the manufacture
   Everything looks fantastic right out of the box, however I had no idea why the DRAM lights were on for longer than I had anticipated.
   I started by doing a CMOS reset and removing everything from the motherboard except for my GPU and RAM. The DRAM lights remained on. When the CPU was pulled, it was discovered that one pin was entirely gone and that four of the pins were bent. I think I know a lot about computer hardware, but I never considered looking for problems with the CPU pins. That was the last thing I thought I would have to look at. For two days, this was nothing but a nightmare! This product has a one-star evaluation from me due to the quality assurance procedure from the manufacture.
   Note to self and others: it is always ideal to buy computer hardware directly from a reliable supplier like Microcenter.

   Well worth it!
   It performs as expected.

   Great Motherboard
   Beautiful motherboard with lots of usbs in the back and screwless m.2 slots which make it so easy to install nvme m.2 drives. Great speeds and looks amazing in an all white build

   Very well worth it.
   I love this board, I did believe from the pictures that the Aorus logo would light up, but it doesn’t. Other then that it’s extremely good with over clocking and the fact its literally all white makes it stand out. 100% worth it. Extremely underrated.

   Muy buen producto, solamente que la marca de Gigabyte aun esta corta en soporte para am5. Tengo problemas para configurar el driver de video integrado. De ahí en más el vendedor envío rápido y ningún contratiempo. Todo escelente.

    This is my second full build and I went with the Elite X AX Ice over the x670e for several reasons:
    1. Still using Win10 (wifi/BT)
    2. 8+4 pin cpu (vs the 8+8) does not affect me overlocking a ryzen 5 7600x. Even if I upgrade the cpu within a couple years the power is still sufficient for my overclocking as I do not push it to extremes.
    3. 3 M.2 slots fits my needs (instead of 4)
    4. USB connections are sufficient, don’t need anymore
    5. Wifi 6 versus 7 is not a concern and I use wired connection for gaming
    6. No issues with my previous gigabyte board build
    I did not run into any first start up issues (had a faulty ram stick that was promptly rma’d and replaced) but no problems
    Bios update through the bios (usb stick) was straight forward and smooth (read the pdf instructions!). I went base settings for cpu / ram when I installed windows and manually installed drivers/chipsets. I do not use GCC, instead do it manually through gigabyte/amd sites. Wifi/BT worked perfectly after driver install.
    Ryzen master for cpu tweeks, XMP profile 1 to get my memory up to base 6000. No issues here.
    SignalRGB/OpenRGB are better options than Gigabyte’s fusion.
    My only real issue is getting the fan’s to play together. I did a mix of NZXT / Lian Li / NZXT AIO Cooler but this is my only small issue. Overall very happy and would recommend the board.
    System:
    Ryzen 5 7600X
    Sapphire 7800 XT
    Teamgroup T-Force Delta RGB 32GB (2×16) DDR5-6000 CL30
    WD Black SN850X 1TB M.2 / WD Black SN850X 2TB M.2
    Corsair RM850e
    NZXT Kraken 360 RGB
    NZXT H9 Flow
    Dell S3422DWG
