GIGABYTE X670 AORUS Elite ATX Motherboard – AMD X670, DDR5, PCIe 5.0, WiFi 6E, 5 Year Warranty

built a system with AMD Ryzen 7 7700X, G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5 32GB. No OC. it ran very well for months until I upgraded BIOS to ver F21a last month and Gigabyte Control Center. GCC was not able to use at all (program existed without any indication after execution)Got various intermittent windows crashes (memory, IRQ, etc) then I went to gigabyte website and found BIOS ver F21a is removed, F22a is latest. Also a new GCC released on Jan 2024.Upgraded both, system looks stable again.btw, make sure you downloaded the right BIOS version. this board has several versions itself which don’t have same BIOS.

Works great for my build, and is reasonably priced compared to other X670 boards. No issues so far, the board POSTed and just worked right out of the box with the Ryzen 9 7950X3D and two sticks of RAM. I used the G.SKILL Flare X5 Series with AMD Expo, 6000 MT/s. I have flipped on Expo in the BIOS and it runs at 6000 MHz so far without issue, almost 6 months now. I’m not doing anything fancy, or anything that requires high customization or unique features, just gaming and entertainment. I’ve been using Gigabyte boards to run my PC’s now for over 10 years because they have always been reliable and I have had good luck with them, both Intel and AMD based builds.

Once we got it all set up and working, we have had zero issues. Just works. Very happy teen gamer. Out of box we had a couple WTF moments when it didn’t boot up immediately. After the initial panic abated, we realized the on board diagnostic LEDs showed a memory issue. We removed and re-seated the DIMMs and the issue was fixed. It did take a min to run thru the diag LEDs and then it paused about 30 secs but posted. (memory training I believe). I suspect if we had seated the memory all the way the first time around we would have had no issue. Son has been gaming non-stop without a single gaming glitch since install. He is in love with this board. (Using AMD7800X3D and 7900XT). I think it is overpriced, but Santa took the bullet.

Excellent quality for the price.

Purchased 1 in April and recently purchased 2 more X670 Aorus Elite AX boards. Original has a Ryzen 9 7900 CPU and the new additions have Ryzen 7 7700’s. Using PBO and tweaking BIOS settings, the 7700’s will now benchmark the same as the 7900 did out of the box. CPU-Z consistently benchmarks them at 8350-8400 with PBO. The 7900 with PBO and tweaking gets to 12,600-12650 with CPU-Z. Steady voltage regulation under heavy load monitored with HWInfo64. (4) NVMe slots that will allow NVMe RAID in the BIOS. Able to array as RAID 0, 1 and 10. MB rear panel has a 20Gb Type C connector; also has a motherboard connector for a case mounted USB Type C connection (10Gb).Using G.Skill F6000J3238F16GX2-FX5 and run at EXPO settings in all 3. The 7900 has (4) sticks and is now bumped to 6400 with with no errors from Memtest. Stable @1.38V w/32-36-36-96 timings. The 7900 is used for 3D modeling and rendering. Outperforms the AMD 1950X 16 core Threadripper (OC’d to 4GHz) it replaced. About 20% quicker with only 12 cores and draws less power. One 7700 used as a backup server.Nitpick: The CMOS battery is located under the X670 chipset heatsink. The machine screws holding the heatsink to the motherboard are located UNDERNEATH the component side of the board. To replace the CMOS battery, the motherboard would have to be removed from the case in order to access the screws. Apparently designed for esthetics rather than function. The MB however, does have a CMOS reset switch (shown in attached pic).All 3 of these setups are keepers!!!
