GIGABYTE Motherboard X870E AERO X WOOD sAM5 X870 M.2 4xDDR5 Wi-Fi BT HDMI ATX

Features

GIGABYTE X870E AERO X3D WOOD combines the AMD AM5 socket, the AMD X870E chipset and the ATX form factor. The board supports AMD Ryzen 9000 Series, Ryzen 8000 Series and Ryzen 7000 Series processors, which makes it suitable for a high-performance desktop system on the current AMD platform.

The memory subsystem includes four DDR5 DIMM slots with dual-channel architecture. The maximum system memory capacity is 256 GB, while AMD EXPO and XMP support allows compatible memory profiles to be used. DDR5 speeds up to 9000 O.C. depend on the processor, memory configuration and installed modules.

Storage options include four M.2 Socket 3 connectors and four SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Two M.2 connectors are connected to the processor, and two more are connected to the chipset. With Ryzen 9000 and Ryzen 7000 processors, selected M.2 and PCI Express slots support PCIe 5.0, while Ryzen 8000 configurations have specific PCIe lane limitations.

The networking section includes two Realtek 5GbE LAN controllers and a MediaTek Wi-Fi 7 MT7927, RZ738 module. The wireless module supports a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be standards, 2.4/5/6 GHz frequency bands, Bluetooth 5.4 and the 11be 320 MHz standard. Wi-Fi 7 features require Windows 11 SV3, while 6 GHz channel availability depends on regional regulations.

Peripheral connectivity includes two rear USB4 Type-C ports, USB Type-C with USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 support, USB 3.2 Gen 2, USB 3.2 Gen 1 and internal USB headers. Display outputs include HDMI, front HDMI and DisplayPort through USB4 Type-C when supported by a processor with integrated AMD Radeon graphics.
