The board also includes RGB lighting for customizable aesthetics and an easy BIOS reset feature.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice supports a maximum memory size of 256GB with DDR5 memory, providing robust capacity for demanding applications. It offers a maximum RAM speed of 5200 MHz, with the potential for overclocking up to 9000 MHz. The motherboard includes 4 memory slots and supports dual memory channels, enhancing overall performance. However, it does not support ECC memory, which is typically used for error correction in critical systems.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice motherboard offers a diverse range of connectivity options, including 5 USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A ports and 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-C port. It also supports the latest Thunderbolt 4 ports for high-speed data transfer, along with USB 4 40Gbps ports. Additionally, the motherboard includes an HDMI output, 1 RJ45 Ethernet port, and USB Type-C support, while lacking older interfaces such as PS/2, VGA, and DVI connectors.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice offers a wide range of connectivity options with 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 4 USB 3.0 ports through expansion. It also includes 4 SATA 3 connectors and 4 M.2 sockets for high-speed storage devices. Additional features include 8 fan headers for cooling, support for a TPM connector, and no support for mSATA or U.2 sockets.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice motherboard features 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 slot and 1 PCIe x4 slot, offering flexibility for modern expansion cards. It does not include any PCIe 4.0 x16, PCIe 3.0 x16, or PCIe 2.0 x16 slots, focusing instead on the latest PCIe 5.0 standard for high-speed performance. There are no PCI or PCIe x1 or x8 slots available on this motherboard.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice motherboard delivers high-quality audio performance with a 120 dB signal-to-noise ratio (DAC) and support for 7.1 audio channels. It also includes an S/PDIF Out port for digital audio output and offers 2 audio connectors for additional audio devices.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite X3D Ice motherboard supports multiple RAID configurations, including RAID 1, RAID 10 (1+0), RAID 5, and RAID 0 for flexible storage setups. However, it does not support RAID 0+1, providing users with a range of options for data redundancy and performance.

It supports DDR5 RAM, with speeds up to 5200 MHz under normal conditions and up to 9000 MHz when overclocked. However, it does not support ECC memory, making it best suited for users who do not require error-correcting capabilities.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top offers a broad range of connectivity options, including 8 USB 3.2 Gen 2 USB-A ports and 2 Thunderbolt 4 ports for fast data transfer. It also features 2 RJ45 Ethernet ports for network connectivity, an HDMI output for video display, and USB Type-C support. For high-speed storage, it includes 2 USB 4 40Gbps ports and a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 USB-C port, while older connectors like VGA and PS/2 are not supported.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top provides a versatile selection of connectors, including 4 USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports and 1 USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 port for high-speed expansion. It also supports additional USB-C connectivity with a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port and offers 5 M.2 sockets for fast storage options. The board includes 2 SATA 3 connectors, 6 fan headers, and does not feature TPM, U.2, or mSATA connectors.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top offers a range of expansion slots to support various peripherals. It features 1 PCIe 5.0 x16 slot for high-speed graphics cards and 1 PCIe x4 slot and 1 PCIe x8 slot for additional expansion cards. However, it does not include PCIe 4.0, PCIe 3.0, or PCI slots, limiting compatibility with certain older devices.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top offers high-quality audio with a signal-to-noise ratio of 120 dB for clear sound. It supports 8 audio channels for immersive sound experiences but does not include an S/PDIF Out port. Additionally, it provides 2 audio connectors for easy connectivity with external audio devices.
The Gigabyte X870E Aorus Xtreme X3D AI Top supports multiple RAID configurations for enhanced storage flexibility, including RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 (1+0) for redundancy and performance. It also supports RAID 0 for speed, but it does not include RAID 0+1 support, limiting certain mirroring and striping combinations.
