Gigabyte launches X870 and B850 Aorus Stealth Ice motherboards in India

Gigabyte‘s X870 and B850 Aorus Stealth Ice motherboards represent a significant advancement in clean, cable-free PC building technology. Launching in India with support for AMD‘s latest processors, these boards combine aesthetic appeal with practical features like reverse-connector designs, AI-powered memory tuning, and enhanced cooling capabilities. As custom PC building continues to evolve toward more streamlined installations, these motherboards address both performance demands and the growing preference for minimalist aesthetics.

The big picture: Gigabyte has designed these motherboards specifically for cable-free PC builds, partnering with major case manufacturers to ensure widespread compatibility.

• The boards are compatible with Gigabyte’s own C500P stealth series chassis and work with over 25 reverse-connector-ready cases from brands including Corsair, Cooler Master, Fractal Design, and Phanteks.
• Both motherboards come in all-white variants, catering to builders seeking clean, minimalist aesthetics without sacrificing performance.

Key technical specifications: The X870 Aorus Stealth Ice supports AMD’s Ryzen 9000, 8000, and 7000 series processors with an 18+2+2 phase VRM design using 80A smart power stages.

• These specifications allow the motherboard to handle high-performance CPUs like the Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
• Both models feature PCIe Gen5 x16 slots and M.2 support for next-generation graphics cards and SSDs.

Performance enhancements: The motherboards include an X3D Turbo Mode that optimizes core behavior and power settings for AMD Ryzen X3D CPUs.

• This feature claims to deliver up to 18 percent better gaming performance with a single click.
• An AI-powered D5 bionic corsa system automatically tunes DDR5 memory to reach speeds up to 8200MT/s without manual configuration.

Cooling innovations: Redesigned thermal solutions use larger heatsinks with increased surface area to maintain performance under load.

• The new M.2 EZ-Flex feature supports both single and double-sided SSDs and claims to reduce temperatures by up to 12 degrees Celsius.
• Strategic placement of the cooling system in the lower-left M.2 slot improves heat dissipation.

Connectivity options: The motherboards come equipped with 5G LAN and Wi-Fi 7 featuring Gigabyte’s high-gain directional antenna for enhanced signal stability.

• DriverBIOS includes built-in support for wireless drivers, allowing users to connect to Wi-Fi without separate installation.
• A 64MB BIOS capacity supports future updates and additional functionality.

User-friendly features: The motherboards incorporate several tool-free installation elements to simplify the building process.

• These include PCIe EZ-Latch Plus, M.2 EZ-Latch Click, M.2 EZ-Latch Plus, Wi-Fi EZ-Plug, and an EZ-Debug Zone.
• These features streamline installation and maintenance for both novice and experienced PC builders.
