AM5 / X870EX3D Turbo Mode 2.0Dual PCIe 5.0 + 2x Gen5 M.2Dual 5GbE + Wi-Fi 7
The GIGABYTE X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD is a premium ATX motherboard for AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 processors on socket AM5, designed for creators and enthusiasts who want workstation-class connectivity in a distinctive build. The model and part number is X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD, finished with a deep-grain dark wood texture with dark metal tones and a leather pull tab.
It offers two CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 graphics slots (x16 + x8) with the reinforced PCIe UD Slot X, two PCIe 5.0 M.2 slots plus two Gen4, dual Realtek 5GbE, dual USB4 and MediaTek Wi-Fi 7. A 16+2+2-phase VRM with 60A DrMOS, X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 and D5 Bionic Corsa memory tuning help Ryzen X3D chips perform at their best. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility Note
Socket AM5 only (Ryzen 9000 / 8000 / 7000) with DDR5 memory — not compatible with AM4 or DDR4. The second x16-size slot runs at PCIe 5.0 x8; using both GPU slots splits CPU lanes. Lane sharing between the x8 slot and the Gen5 M.2 slots may apply — check the GIGABYTE manual before populating all slots. USB4/HDMI video outputs require a CPU with integrated graphics. Needs 24-pin + 2x 8-pin CPU power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD support two graphics cards?
It has two CPU-connected PCIe 5.0 slots (x16 and x8), so it can host a second GPU or an AI/capture accelerator card.
Is the X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD suitable for a Ryzen 9 9950X3D?
Yes. The 16+2+2 VRM with 60A DrMOS and X3D Turbo Mode 2.0 are designed for high-end Ryzen X3D processors.
What is the difference between the X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD and the X870E AERO X3D WOOD?
The hardware and specifications are the same; the difference is the finish — this model has a dark wood-grain texture with dark metal tones, while the X870E AERO X3D WOOD uses a natural light wood grain.
What do I need to know before buying the X870E AERO X3D DARK WOOD?
You need an AM5 CPU and DDR5 memory. Check lane sharing if you plan to fill both PCIe 5.0 slots and all M.2 slots, and note that video outputs require a CPU with integrated graphics.
Singular Expert Insight
The AERO X3D boards target creators who need more than a gaming board: dual 5GbE, two Gen5 GPU-capable slots and two Gen5 M.2 slots are rare at this level. If you only need one GPU and one Gen5 SSD, the X870E EAGLE X3D WIFI7 saves money with the same X3D tuning. Complete the build with DDR5 from our
memory (RAM) range and a card from our
graphics cards.
Buyer's Guide
Buy it if
You are building a Ryzen creator workstation and want dual PCIe 5.0 slots, dual 5GbE and a unique wood design.
Skip it if
You only need a single GPU and basic networking, or you want a Micro-ATX board.
