GIGABYTE X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE E-ATX Motherboard

AMD X870 AMD Socket AM5 AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series DDR5

The GIGABYTE X870 AORUS TACHYON ICE is an E-ATX desktop motherboard for AMD Socket AM5 processors from the Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 Series. It combines DDR5 memory support with three M.2 slots, Wi-Fi 7 and 5GbE wired networking for a configurable desktop build.

What It Means in Practice

The 30.5 × 27.5 cm E-ATX format makes case form-factor support an important fit check before choosing this board.
The three M.2 slots support different drive sizes and PCIe modes; the CPU-connected slot's supported mode varies with the installed Ryzen processor.
Using the PCIEX8 slot reduces the main PCIEX16 slot to up to x8. The second slot is unavailable with Ryzen 8000 Phoenix 1 and Phoenix 2 processors.
The rear HDMI output's support varies by CPU, while the USB4 Type-C port also provides DisplayPort output.

What Will Not Work

A Ryzen 9000 Series processor is required for NVMe RAID 5.
Using PCIEX8 reduces PCIEX16 to up to x8.
PCIEX8 is unavailable with Ryzen 8000 Phoenix 1 and Phoenix 2 processors.
Wi-Fi 7 features require Windows 11 SV3; no Windows 10 driver is listed for those features.
Rear HDMI display support varies by CPU.

Best For

✓ For PC builders choosing an AM5 platform who want DDR5 support, three M.2 connections

✓ Both Wi-Fi 7

✓ 5GbE LAN. Check that your case supports the E-ATX form factor

Key Features

Three M.2 slots

Connect up to three M.2 drives across CPU-connected and chipset-connected slots, with supported sizes and PCIe modes depending on the slot.

Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4

Built-in wireless networking includes Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.4; the listed Wi-Fi 7 features require Windows 11 SV3.

5GbE LAN

The wired network port supports 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps and 100 Mbps link rates.

USB4 Type-C

The rear USB4 Type-C connection supports DisplayPort output as well as USB connectivity.
