We have all this to look at as well as our usual testing, but as usual, Gigabyte has nailed it on the design as the X870E Aorus Pro X3D Ice looks fabulous. While it's undeniably expensive, you also get all the usual tech here such as USB4, Wi-Fi 7 and full PCIe Gen 5 support. Let's see how it performs.

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.

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.

In a world with RGB and flashing light in my PC builds, this motherboard adds a new level of sophistication to the party, and I must say I'm pretty happy with it. You see, Gigabyte asked me which board I wanted to review next, and I could have really chosen any model, but with my recent move to the Haven white PC case, I didn't want to go with another black board.
