Great board, very solid construction. Feature set is surprisingly full for this price. PCIE 5 on Nvme m.2 for future upgrade (when they're available) USB-C 3.2 Gen2X2 header (truly blazing speeds!) Multi-Switch is a nice bonus, great for tweaking BIOS at initial set-up Q-Flash (rear I/O) will come in handy for flashing BIOS.

Works with and USES ECC memory, as confirmed in Ubuntu 24.04 (Kingston KSM48E40BD8KI-32HA). I didn't have to fiddle with the bios at all - either to get full performance in Passmark versus existing baselines, or to get ECC memory to be recognized and to work in Linux. This was great, as I "upgraded" early from my (not old) Gigabyte B760M with the borked 13900K.



- Easy to install components. - Fit like a glove in the Corsair Frame 4000 case.

Hidden back connectors, black brushed aluminum, minimal ambient light

Beautiful looking, didn't even turn on x3d and when testing with 9850x3d cpu had excellent results.

Cheaper than the competition Blacked out aesthetic Worked perfectly out of the box No RGB

Honestly, I purchased this product due to its small form factor and numerous features. Its a bit overkill for what I need but its great. I was worried the HIVE may not have been a good idea but its a niche novelty. The light features during boot allows for quicker troubleshooting(assuming you can remember what each color means without looking it up each time LOL) and ports allow quick input for external usb-based storage and peripherals.


First time building a pc the motherboard made it super easy to install everything and it looks great. The GPU quick release button is such a fantastic feature.

- Good wifi reception even if you don't plug in the antennas - BIOS UI is pleasant to use and offers good control over fan curves - Good linux compatibility - Relatively cheap for having the latest-gen tech

Pre installed IO Shield M.2 Heatsink

The motherboard is just amazingit has plenty of slots for SSDs, the design is incredible, its just beautiful, and the expansion card allows for quick SSD replacement

Affordable PCIE gen 5 support has two m.2 pcie lanes straight to the CPU Very good VRMs USB galore Looks pretty good like the easy gpu release button and tool less M.2 access

Not many white X870E MB out there - This is perfect with multiple nmve m2 lanes

I recently wanted to replace my B650E and decided to go x870E, It is an access motherboard the Bios is simple and has straight forward information on what each segment does currently running with a 7800x3d and 5600mhz of Ram impressed with the stability.

I/O is exceptional VRMs don't break a sweat DIY features are intuitive and a joy to work with It is a beautiful center piece for a build.

A good quality budget mATX board, which for some reason is rare with AMD/AM5. Has a PCIE 5.0 slot for the GPU, powers my 9800X3D as expected, and had no issues setting up expo on my team CL30/6000 RAM.

- Built in Wifi/BT - Built in I/O Shield - Sufficient rear I/O - Premium looking heatsink shroud - Preinstalled M.2 screws is super convenient - Shipped with latest BIOS version - Two M.2 slots + 4 SATA ports for storage
