T The FPS Review Rick Patterson · reviewer · Sept 2025

After spending time with the GIGABYTE X870E AORUS MASTER motherboard , we came away impressed with the build and function. The motherboard is designed thoughtfully and has some very neat additions. All said, the board gave us no problems whatsoever, and performance was equally as good as other X870E motherboards we have reviewed.

O Overclockers Article

As I already mentioned, fan control works without issues and can be easily managed by the software. The Performance tab offers options to overclock our PC, but most will require a restart to take effect. I still recommend using BIOS for overclocking attempts and user profiles to recover quickly if anything goes wrong.

A fearless piece of PCB going after products such as a ROG Dark Hero or the Carbon Max from MSI to become the next best thing in the world of production and extreme gaming. No small feat, especially considering that uh the Master X3D is the cheapest of them three.

This is an exciting one, a really exciting one. Come closer. Gigabyte and I have had a bit of a rough patch in the past few months cuz I was kind of not happy with their X870 and X870E lineup of motherboard. I felt that, you know, it was not up to par compared to the competition.

If storage expansion and networking are priorities, the Gigabyte wins. If you're deep in the ASUS ecosystem with existing software and peripherals, the ROG board might make more sense. It's genuinely a close call at the top end, which is a good sign for the AORUS Master.

The GIGABYTE X870E Aero X3D Dark Wood is stunning, yet it adds strong performance, great connectivity, and good cooling too.

Both are great but MSI is better value
